I don’t think I’m a bad person. I love my family. I give to charity. I help old ladies across the street. Then mug them. I give people the benefit of the doubt. Then hit them anyway. And I try to do the right thing at all times. So why does it make me so – Read More-
Yeah-haah. This weekend every time I turn on the tv (other than the rugby; oh the wonderful rugby), its been country music. “But I don’t like Country music”, I think. Who does? A few inbred, cowboy-hatted truck driver rapists and their peroxided sisters/lovers/wives/rape-victims, (as if there’s a difference in Kentucky.) All in lines doing silly – Read More-
In the ‘old days’ when Spurs played in grey, Arsenal in grey, Chelsea in a slightly different grey and Newcastle in black’n’white, football managers bossed the clubs. They also wore long, grey overcoats and grey hats. Underneath were suits and ties. All grey. Always. We watched them on tv. They were called ‘the Boss’ or – Read More-
As a liberal, left-leaning pseudo-Tory capitalist-socialist (I think that covers most of it), I struggle to see how the proper ‘left’, those more Marx than Blair, more Livingstone than Lenin, how they view the world. I get some of it. But where I struggle is why they’re always so keen on terrorism. Jeremy Corbyn is – Read More-
Gwyneth Paltrow is launching something else. Something new. Something other than the 72,000 things she already produces in the diet, nutrition, fashion and book publishing lines. She’s getting into ‘skincare’. Never one to not maximise her Oscar for Shakespeare in Love in about 1975, she keeps that rollercoaster rolling, consciously coupling with new ideas all – Read More-
I haven’t mentioned this before, because its rather shameful, but I have to admit that last December at my tennis club I tested positive for caffeine. We don’t so much have ‘random drug testing’ like they do at Wimbledon, more that in a club with an average age for members of about 79, incontinence is – Read More-
Do you remember when Volkswagen did that whole cheating thing with emissions testing of their diesel cars? Remember? Of course you do, it was only a few months ago. During which time nothing much has happened. Other than Jay Leno demanding someone goes to prison for the offences. He would. He’s American. I’m only surprised – Read More-

Though chastened by resultage poor of late, For this match those Goons indeed could not wait The chance to level the points, balance – Read More-
This is everything. This is the season. This is MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!! All distilled into 90 minutes this lunchtime. Everything else is irrelevant. There is no ISIS. Donald Who?? Euro-bollox; who cares? National Debt?? Global warming?? All meaningless. I’m off to play tennis now. In the rain but I don’t care. I don’t really care – Read More-
There’s been another ‘study’. And we all love one’a them. About gender roles in the home, this time. Oddly its been done by Oxfam. Though why they are spending money due to be sent to starving Africans on worrying about who’s doing the housework over here is beyond me. I don’t give to Oxfam, I – Read More-
