For a nation fairly obsessed with weather, we don’t do it very well. Any slight change in norms or expectations seems to cause havoc, chaos and disruptions to the entire country. The trains stop, the roads break, the valleys flood, the snow is the wrong kind, everything seems to have a rather profound effect. I’ve – Read More-
When is London not the absolute and total best city the world has ever known? When there’s a tube strike, of course. So today, and tomorrow, and probably some kind of knock-on to Friday, the tube workers are on strike. Led by the ever moderate, very photogenic, awfully pleasant, Bob Crowe.

Though I don’t really ‘hate’ the French in any real sense, I just hate the thought of them. Well, the French men that is. – Read More-
Alan Hanson said: ‘you can’t win the league with kids’ Andy Conway said: you can’t win the league with Yids. Can I say that? Is it illegal? Will I be arrested? Its racist, evil, unkind, like calling Mylie Sirus flat-chested. I don’t care anyway, we’ll sing what we want to sing Its only scoring goals – Read More-
I know my rights. No taxation without representation. I pay my taxes. Then I pay more.
