But of course the real answer is ‘FUCK YEAH!!!’ But generally when you go out to eat its a question of ‘do you want to go for a nice, – Read More-
the omens were good. Lila was born and a mere 7 hours later Spurs won at Burnley. Obviously completely down to her. The very next day, yesterday, the day when, had she the power of speech, she could actually say: ‘do you think I was born yesterday??’, that very day Arsenal and Man City drew – Read More-
I’m new to this grandparenting lark. From what I’ve seen so far, its fantastic. I get to stare at the most gorgeous baby in the world, as long as I like. And I do like. She’s wonderful. Not that I’ve seen her with eyes open yet, but there’s time for these things. No rush. I – Read More-

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.

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-
