I’m anibivalent. Don’t look that up; I just invented it. Won’t be on google for at least a year. Its like a bisexual where animals are concerned, and their welfare. I love animals. I like to see animals. But I don’t have issues with eating meat, nor fox hunting (foxes are pests and need culling; – Read More-
What a fuss and bother over in Reims. That’s in France. Our neighbours and friends. Some mademoiselle was sunbathing in a park wearing a bikini, as you do when sunbathing, when a girl walked past and made a snidey comment. Mademoiselle offered an insult of her own and the two came to blows. Now that’s – Read More-
John (Lord; for the time being) Sewel is a Scotsman. I think its important to get that out there right at the start. And until Sunday he was the chairman of the Standards and Privileges committee in the House of Lords. The group that monitors, err, well, standards and privileges I’d imagine. To stop Their – Read More-
The football season is just days away. Next weekend is the Community Shield/Charity Shield/No-one-cares Shield at Wembley, the traditional season opener between the winners of the League and FA Cup. Chelsea against Arsenal. Lovely. And the following weekend its all, literally, kicking off. And I find myself a bit numb to it all. It seems – Read More-
Do you remember where you were on July 23rd 2011? Probably not. Its not like the Kennedy moment, not even like Spurs beating Inter at the Lane. We had a barbecue. Ahhhh, nice. Yep, our great mates had popped round, all the way from Toronto just for a burnt sausage and some of my patented – Read More-
If a day is a long time in politics; how long is a few measly hours in the housing market. Last night’s Evening Standard bore the headline that ‘house prices are plummeting’ due to the new stamp duty. Yet this morning’s Times, just a few hours later, informs us that ‘house prices are rising’ due – Read More-
I’m setting up a new charity. Its really great. I want to improve the lives of savages living in the wilds of the Third World, because they’re not very civilised. And I’m not talking Radlett here, but really wild places like Birmingham and Scotland. Oh, apparently Africa is more needy, so we’ll go there instead. – Read More-
This is Shayan Moradisohi. He walked past the commemorative site in London where tributes had been laid in honour of Mr & Mrs Stocker who had died in the Tunisia beach massacre, and helped himself to a couple of bunches of flowers. Well they were just kind’a lying around on the floor. Hundreds of them. – Read More-
The picture of the Duke of Windsor performing a Nazi salute in Germany in 1937 is far more telling than those of Princess Elizabeth performing the same act in her back garden in 1933. Writing your name on a piece of paper is of no consequence. Unless that piece of paper is a cheque for – Read More-
I generally like Australians. They’re good people. Upbeat. Happy. Bright. Fun. Optimistic. There are always exceptions; you can’t like an entire nation, but for every revolting Mel Gibson, there’s always a Kylie to redress the balance. For every Kerry Packer there’s an Olivia Newton John. For every Shane Warne, a limp Jason Donovan. But when – Read More-
