At 12.25 yesterday, GMT, Britain’s Dear Jean (French for John, innit) letter was submitted to the European Union. By 12.29 I was bored with fucking Brexit. I have no idea about the significance of that particular time. It was a totally ‘un-Kennedy’ moment. In that, no-one will ever remember what they were doing at 12.25 – Read More-
A judge on Monday gave a cricketer a suspended sentence ‘so he could pursue his professional career’ after his trial, rather than banging him up. For banging his wife up. With a cricket bat. Oh, and forcing her to drink bleach when she… because she… Well, it doesn’t really matter, does it? Forcing someone to – Read More-
This looks like Stephen Hawking, the world’s most brilliant man, giving a lecture. Or possibly floating in space among the stars, but that would be cruel, even if rather appropriate. But its not. Its a hologram in Hong Kong. Whilst the Prof was at home in Cambridge. And seeing as hopping on Easyjet is a – Read More-
Mauricio Pochettino, the holiest of holies, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur football club, the man who WALKS ON WATER, who has taken a rag-bag group of bad buys, poor attitudes and abject appallingness and turned it into a wonder-team of togetherness and passionate artistry, the best man in the whole country… was seen in a – Read More-
Gwyneth Paltrow has decided that its wrong to eat squid because, in common with other cephalopods, ‘they are intelligent’. Therefore; we mustn’t eat them. In case they… errrr… realise what’s happening? Get scared?? Write bad things about us on Squid-Advisor? The first thing that has to be taken into account is that the word ‘Paltrow’ – Read More-
They keep making movies of old tv shows. Either for lack of other inspiration or, more likely, for an easy retro-nostalgic buck. They did Miami Vice, big movie, Michael Mann, wow. They did Starsky & Hutch, also big names, big money, shit films. So now they’ve re-booted CHiPs, which, OK, I kind’a watched every week – Read More-
Yesterday’s attack in Westminster marked the anniversary of the attack on Brussels last year. It also occurred within 24 hours of the death of Martin McGuinness. Which is an interesting tale of what happens to terrorists when they get old. They become peacemakers. And then we forgive them and hail them as heroes and they – Read More-
So the other day when I was into David Duke mode, lying in the bath listening to the great ex-imperial wizard of the KKK as he simperingly explained so elegantly the historical, scientific and biblical basis for the evils of globalism, of Jews (the cause of all the world’s evils, all 0.2% of the world’s – Read More-
Donald Trump’s passionate hatred of ‘fake news’ began when Kellyanne Conway (aka: THE SHE-DEVIL) announced that at the presidential inauguration there had been a record turn-out. Even though most of the seats were empty. And when most of the press noted that fact, she coined that wonderful phrase ‘alternative truths’. Which is different from the – Read More-
This was, results-wise, the almost perfect weekend. The ‘almost’ bit was Chelsea’s undeserved win at Stoke. ‘Undeserved’ purely on moral grounds. If ever you needed proof that there is no God, just look at the top of the league table. The very top, obviously. God starts at 2nd place. In all His magnificence. And we – Read More-
