Anjem Choudary, the hate-preacher and probable radicalising all-round horrible person, wants to go to ISIS. Not, as he claims, to ‘participate in terrorist acts’, but merely to live his dream of being in a Sharia state. Fine by me. I’ll start a whip-round for his ticket today. The man is pure evil and obviously belongs – Read More-
Did you ever read ‘American Psycho’? Its one of the very few books I started and in a very un-Mastermindish way, I didn’t finish. Brett Easton Ellis’ tale of a sick yuppy puppy. A highly successful banker in New York who in his spare time liked to torture and kill women. The book was a – Read More-
If the Republicans win control of the Senate in the up-coming mid-term elections in the States, then they will control everything, already enjoying a majority in the House of Representatives. Leaving Barak Obama, as a Democrat President, in a rather sorry position of not being able to pass any motions. Political constipation. He would become – Read More-
Mauricio Pottechino, Spurs esteemed head coach, can understand the frustration of Spurs fans because ‘we are still 3 points off the Champions League places’. We’re also 5 points off the relegation places, thanks only to a rather messy win at Villa Park yesterday. But Mauricio’s cup is indeed half full, and that’s not counting the – Read More-
Its a shitty day here in London. Dull and wet and wetter and then more wet. And for ‘wet’ read: ‘no tennis’. Which is awful. Someone should invent indoor tennis. Oh they have. And I don’t like that either. So what does that leave? It leaves football. That’s what it leaves. Lots of football. And – Read More-
The Virgin ‘Galactic’ rocketship crashed yesterday somewhere over California. Not on its way to the Moon, or to Alpha Centuri or Mars, but to the Mohave Desert to test the fuel. Shame. Pilot killed, another injured and half a billion dollars worth of high tech aviation left in pieces on the floor spoiling the ecology – Read More-
When Apple Inc introduced the i-pod in 1853 it created a revolution. A million records in a piece of digital wizardry the size of a finger-nail. Ok, I exaggerate. The original i-pod held just 2 tracks and was the size of a bus. De-scaling came later along with increased capacity. Then came the i-phone which – Read More-
That’s my password. Don’t tell anyone. I always use it because my old one, ‘andy’ was deemed too short for some actions. So I extended it. Then it lacked at least 1 capital letter and a number. Then it was too memorable, it had to be something that was so impossible for anyone to remember – Read More-
We are all conditioned from a very early age to adhere to social norms and niceties. Every book we’re read in school, every movie, reinforces the One True Love paradigm. The ‘he’s the one’ or ‘she’s the one’ ethos of monogamy and love forever. Ahhhhhh. Of course there’s other books and movies that people (ok, – Read More-
In 2016 they’re going to elect a new American president. The 45th. How many can you name? Ok, George Washington, he was the first, so they named a bridge after him. Then Brooklyn Beckham, he must have been a president because there’s a bridge named after him too. Next was John F. Kennedy, then Marilyn – Read More-
