Everyone will always remember exactly where they were when Pope Francis died. I was in the kitchen, making my porridge, and thinking of a blog post inspired by that very same Pope, on last night’s news, as he choked out a few words, all he could manage, from his wheelchair, over Vatican square, yesterday.

Leicester accepted relegation from the Premier League today. Not that it was ‘an invitation’ exactly, requiring an RSVP, more just a fact. “You’re down: fuck off”. And then I think two things. Firstly, when they won the league in 2016, against all conceivable odds. That was simply brilliant and an achievement which will never be – Read More-
“A woman is… (drum roll)… (pause for suspense, like they do on X-factor and Bake Off)… IS A WOMAN!!!” Oh, thank God for that, say the women, the feminists and JK Rowling. Boo, say all those trans-people who spent at least some of their lives as men, other times as transvestites and part of it – Read More-
We’ve just returned from a fab little stay in a Cotswold. Not sure which one, they all look so similar. It wasn’t Clarkson’s one, that’s for sure.

And not just rules it, but can supply it, consistently and, if possible, cheaply. The world is a massive consumer of power, I get that. I would say I had a – Read More-
We should be talking about steel. Everyone else is. Especially those lucky enough to live in Scunthorpe. The little town, somewhere ‘up north’, where they have a football team, who play in the ‘lower leagues’, lots of tattoo parlours, judging by the protesters you see on tv, easy availability of beer, and a steel works. – Read More-
This lovely young woman is Lily Phillips. Would you like to have sex with her? Well join the queue mate, there’s 99 in front of you. Yes, last year, Lily shagged 100 men in a day. For charity. Ok, not for charity in the normal sense, but for… well, sadly, for fame. Which came (no – Read More-
A Millionaire!!!! Wow! The measure used by those people who just love statistics and demographics for ‘wealth’ is to be a ‘dollar millionaire’. That’s how they assess ‘the rich’. Which is why London has more than anywhere else. Well, it did have until a few weeks ago when Moscow overtook us. Livin’ that communist dream. – Read More-
Because the weather is not only lovely but GUARANTEED not to rain, I’ve been taking the e-bike into work. Not because it’s quicker, which it is. Not because it’s cheaper because us old folk get tube travel freeeeeee. But because it is just wonderful. Fun. Enjoyment. Puts a great big smile on my face which – Read More-
