Harriet Harman, the deputy leader of the Labour Party, or Ed Milliband’s oily rag, as the role may be deemed, is a paedophile!!!! How outrageous, how dire, dasterdly, desperate and disastrous. Diabolical. Disgusting. Well, I suppose she’s not really a child-abuser herself (though you’d think she was if you read the Daily Mail) but she – Read More-
They call it ‘winter sports’. And for good reason. Mainly because they happen in the winter time. When the weather’s a bit funny, a bit unpredictable, when the Thames Valley floods, when England gets submerged, when its cold and in particular, because it snows. The irony being that without this snow, you can’t do winter – Read More-
The definition of ‘sport’ is as follows: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. So there you have it. Its simple, easy, unambiguous and, as ever, subject to great argument and debate. Is golf a sport? Plenty of skill, low on exertion. – Read More-
I don’t ask for much. A warm bed, three squares a day (or four, or better still loads of snacks in between, and booze, maybe some mild drugs, a lot of chocolate…) and comfort and security. That’s all. I’m not demanding, I’m not high maintenance. I don’t ‘want it all and want it now’. I’m – Read More-
I haven’t watched any of the Winter Olympics, none of it. Its like tennis, a game I really love to play, but can only watch Wimbledon because its fab but never bother with the Australian Open, or the French. Especially the French. And yet these are big events of worldwide significance. And they are sports, – Read More-
Spurs are playing football tonight. Its a massive game. Probably the biggest and most glamorous match of the season so far as they play FC Dnipro to decide (well, to ‘half-decide’ as its the first of a two-leg tie) who goes through to the last 16 of the Europa League of Teams that aren’t Bad – Read More-
Prince Charles is in Saudi Arabia. As if you couldn’t tell that this picture wasn’t taken in his Tesco Local in Cornwall. He’s gone there to… errr… hmmm… Well, why does he go anywhere? He goes as an ambassador for Britain. I would imagine, just to keep our oil flowing nicely and smoothly. And whilst – Read More-
The American Dementia Society has shown conclusively that exercise not only reduces the onset of dementia but also ‘builds up the brain’, significantly increasing its volume over time, as compared to the ‘non-exercise’ group in the trial. Or ‘Americans’ as they’re normally called. This represents almost a ‘national disaster’ in the States where it was – Read More-
I love it when a plan comes together. Which, let’s face it, isn’t too often. Had an exhibition to visit today at the Excel Centre down in darkest Docklands. We planned to drive. Its Sunday. And then I pondered, and I deliberated, and I did lots of other indecisive things and decided to take the – Read More-
I went outside this morning, fighting the wind to open the front door, took a few steps that Marcelle Marceau would have been proud of into the gale force morning and threw a tennis ball up in the air. Just to, kind of, ‘service height’, just to see. I never saw the ball again. I – Read More-
