George Osborne has presented his new budget. And it a brilliant one if you’re an old, grey, well-off saver with loads of money, who doesn’t smoke and really hates pot-holes in the road. In other words, a budget for old Tories. And cyclists. A grey budget. Which is odd for a man who is rather – Read More-
At last. A ‘test’ that we can believe. A real one performed by real scientists (Louisiana? real??) providing incontrovertible results. Meaning ‘ones that we want to hear’. Chocolate is good for you. But really good. Makes you live longer, stay healthier, enlarges your sexual organs, keeps you slim, fit, lowers blood pressure, raises… whatever’s good – Read More-
The question that everyone really wants the answer to, the one which spawns a fucking industry of testing, research, trials, drugs, medical papers and general quasi-scientific statistical bollocks is ‘so when will I die?’ Its a fear we realise as soon as we’re old enough to actually comprehend the finality and futility of our pathetic – Read More-
I’d like to sum up these last 8 days of football with one word: FFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!! (said in a protracted scream) Though on careful review of the circumstances, and the manner of our not 1, not 2 but 3 defeats, and adding in the quality of the teams we were playing, making allowances for the ambient – Read More-
You know the situation; the ref gives a decision, maybe a foul that was dubious, maybe a penalty that’s controversial, maybe a yellow card that really could have been red. But his decision is made.

‘Experts’ are those same bastard dorks who tell us to drink wine one minute and that you’ll die from seven different cancers if you do in the next minute; the ones who advocate no sugar, then heaps of sugar, then no proteins, followed by ‘proteins are the food of life’. You know, the ever-changing merry-go-round – Read More-
Barcelona is moving. All of it. To Chelmsford. Ok, I read that wrongly. Barcelona football club are rebuilding their stadium, the Camp Nou. Which loosely translates from the ancient Catalan dialect as ‘you’re very likely going to lose here’. Already the largest football-only stadium in the world, they want it bigger, better, nicer, more Barcelona-ish. – Read More-
Interesting experience the other night. I went to see ‘Warhorse’. Oh, I hear you enquire, the play? Or the movie?? Well that’s an interesting question… what did I see… I saw the plovie. Or the plilm. Maybe the Flay. The play was on at the National and they had a live link to various cinemas – Read More-
…lend me your ears. I come to praise Bob, not to bury him. The evil that men do lives after them… Ever since Mark Anthony made that speech it has become the benchmark for eulogies. Particularly hypocritical ones made by 2-faced bastards who never had a good thing to say about someone until they die – Read More-
Charles Darwin. What a tosser, eh? Bloody twit. Didn’t know nuffink about nuffink. Because some bird in Australia found that female birds sing as well as male birds. And I’m not talking about Beyonce here, nor Rhianna. Real ‘birds’, lesser-spotted thingumies and red-throated whatevers. Can you bloody adam’n’eve it? Who’d’a thought?? In his seminal work, – Read More-
