This was a very special weekend. Partly due to being in the biblical, spiritual homeland of all the world’s major Western religions and simply feeling that… godly fucking vibe, just permeating through your very fibre. Partly due to being on holiday, relaxed, fab experiences, hot and sunny. Yet mainly, really, attributable to a far more – Read More-
So I have a MASSSSSIVE problem. Simply massive. Its 30 degrees here at the Dead Sea, having cooled down since the day’s activities. And now, 2 hours ahead of British Summer Time, the football’s on. Not, like, on tv, no, bloody savages round here wouldn’t be so bloody cooperative as to do that, would they??? – Read More-
We’re at the Dead Sea. The lowest point in the world. That’s relative to sea level. If it was the lowest point from a moral standpoint then I’d be in Las Vegas. But I’m not, I’m here in the Holy Land looking at the amazing salt lake in the middle of a desert. It was – Read More-
Ok, so I haven’t written to you for a few days, didn’t phone, never called… I’M ON ‘OLLLIDAY!!! ‘AVIN’ A REST!!!! ISS’ALLOWED!!! Right, so having used up my years’ supply of exclamation marks in one (poorly constructed, verbless, grammatically evil) sentence, I’ll tell you why. Because I’m ‘busy’. Really busy.

The all-powerful National Rifle Association, mouthpiece of right wing, second amendment, right to bear arms obsessives have actually said that something needs to be done, in the wake of – Read More-
Say what you like about Boris, and most of it will be expletive, doubtless, but at least he knows how to speak in public. How to put on a show. Ok, he’s a back-stabbing, lying, cheating, egotistical narcissist who would murder his own mother to move half a rung up the career ladder, but he – Read More-
Shares in American gun companies dropped yesterday. Smith & Wesson (as was) fell by 7%. And anywhere else this would be a good thing. Ahhhh, people are getting the message: guns kill. Horrible things, mass murders, evil, wicked, blah, blah, blah. But this isn’t anywhere else, this is America. (Well, ‘there’ is America, strictly speaking – Read More-
If Jeremy Corbyn should come to power in this land formerly known as Great Britain, I want to declare the area bounded by the North Circular Road, the Edgware Road, Lords to the south and East Finchley High Road to become an independent state. North West Londonia. It will be independent, have very strict border – Read More-
So why do you fast? People ask me this. Knowing my precise thoughts on the whole ‘relgion’ thing, which loosely translates as ‘its all bollocks’. And there is but one reason. Or two.
