There’s a new crime in the world of public office. Its called ‘sharing a platform’ and its a major offence. Punishable by… something. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor and comrade vice-chairman in the People’s Republic of New Old Labour, has slagged off new mayor, fellow (ish) Labourite Sadiq Kahn for ‘sharing a platform’ with David – Read More-
Sunday night we went to see a movie. Called ‘Remember’. Its clever. Its unusual. The ‘stars’ are a 90 year-old ‘hit man’ who has dementia, and another 90 year-old who’s in a wheel chair with an oxygen tube permanently affixed to his nostrils. Not yer normal ‘action flick’ then. No ripped six-packs and motor-cycle chases – Read More-
Here’s a moral dilemma for you. Little boy falls into a gorilla’s pen a the zoo. Gorilla appears to help little boy get steady. Then picks him up, walks round with him for a bit, ok, drags him round a bit too, then looks puzzled. Though how ‘puzzlement’ is assessed on the face of a – Read More-
Ok, Real Madrid beat neighbours Athletico in the Champions League final last night to officially end the entire official football season, in any properly official way. Its over. Finished. Normally gone til August but for the transfer mania that generally erupts about now even though no-one decent will actually put their name to a contract – Read More-
I don’t give a shit about Johnny Depp. Not a toss. Can’t stand him. Looks like he needs a good scrub. Never seen the attraction. He was brilliant in Scissorhands but then his career has been in nose-dive along with his love life. Divorced his long (Hollywood relative) term wife, blond skinny waif, married an – Read More-
This is a picture. Possibly the funniest picture I’ve ever seen. And I don’t know why. Though it probably encapsulates virtually everything that is wrong with the Conservative Party at the moment. Again; no idea why. Its just a ‘feeling’. Yes, men have feelings too. We’re allowed. Alec Sherbourne is an mp. Who has two – Read More-
We’re going to Wembley!!! That used to be the chant of successful cup semi-finalists at the end of their match. You win the semi, you get to the final, you go to Wembley. What a thrill. What a blast. The most exciting game in football (the Cup final) played between the twin towers of Wembley – Read More-
Not since Oscar Pistorius has there been a greater travesty by the legal system in a case of blatantly obvious self-defence. Why have they even brought this to trial? Oscar maintained when it was his turn, that he heard a noise in the bathroom, leapt out of bed, not easy when you don’t have legs, – Read More-
Iss science, innit. Physics. Mechanics. Fermodynamics. What goes up must come down. So having gone all the way up north on Saturday, to darkest Yorkshire (its all dark, ooop there), we came back down to the real world. But instead of coming back on the arduous, tortuous, roadwork-eous, 50mph fucking speed camera-ous, miserable M1, we – Read More-

And the hotel we’re holed up in serves as a metaphor for all of up north. Looks great from the outside, but you really wouldn’t wanna – Read More-
