After the rugby yesterday, I played tennis with the younger daughter. Nothing unusual about that except we were brilliant. And normally… one of us, sometimes isn’t. But yesterday, in the searing heat and horrible humidity, sheer brilliance. And then I watched Roger Federer. He’s 83 years old (so you’d believe if you listened to the – Read More-
So every day I get photos. Natalie’s obsessed with photographing her daughter and sharing and I’m obsessed with seeing them. Its become an epidemic. I may have to give up work to spend more time looking at Lila pics. And going ‘ahhhhhhh’, or ‘awwwwww’ or ‘Oh My Gawd!!’ or whatever. That’s my business. Then yesterday, – Read More-
And remember, ‘B’ is for Brexit. Ok, and also ‘bollox’, just by the way. And bastards. And, if you’re really dyslexic, B is also for headless chickens, tossers and morons. So we’re leaving Europe. And we’ve triggered ‘article 50’, our intention to leave those garlic-eating, bottom-pinching, jack-boot strutting bunch of ultra-bureaucrats and go it alone. – Read More-

Died’ That’s it? ‘Yes’ No ‘loving father, wonderful husband, missed by…’ He was a terrible father, awful husband and everyone hated him.

So Doctors in the NHS may not be included, for their 97-hour weeks, because they do a bit of private consulting on a Sunday. Workers is workers! Bus drivers, coal-miners, dirt-diggers. Teachers are professionals but for some – Read More-
The Grenfell Tower saga enters several more stages of lunacy as what started as a simple humanitarian tragedy was first stolen by the Corbynites as a political issue, who then elevated it to virtual accusations of ‘rich people murdering the poor’ and now its being hijacked from the Lefties by the racists. Not, like ‘racists’ – Read More-
I’d just like to point out that the current All Blacks team is not weak, average or even merely ‘ok’. Like all their teams, they are outstanding. Every player. Their method of play. Their link-ups. Its all and always, the best there is. Just thought I’d get that out there before someone pipes up with – Read More-
Things you don’t expect from the geezer filling up your car at the Chevron on Hollywood Blvd in 1981: Ability to speak English Ability to be English Any intelligence whatsoever A sense of humour So as I stood there fillin’ up the old Cadilacs and Pontiacs and Chevies with ‘unleaded’ and regular, wearing my rather – Read More-
Much as I have nothing but sympathy with the entire Grenfell Tower business, I’ve now officially ‘ad enough. The event has been politicised, hi-jacked and has descended into a class-war witch hunt. Not to the degree that it’ll detract from the rugby tomorrow but its just become really annoying. Emails show that they cut costs – Read More-
I’ve said it for years. Though mainly to Mel. And mainly on holiday. I’ve said: HOW MUCH FUCKING BOTTLED WATER DO WE NEED???? Because she worries about dehydration. In Scotland. Where the risk of dehydration is seven hundred and ninety-six thousand times lower than the risk of drowning. But water we buy. And worry about – Read More-
