Winning isn’t everything, but losing isn’t anything. Isn’t that what they say? Oh, well, its what I say. Pretty much every week at the moment, just after they announce the football scores. But not on Thursday night!! No! It was all about the sweet smell of victory, the joy of the result, the total exhilaration – Read More-
Axel Rudakubana has been in the papers a lot lately. Because at age 17 he murdered three gorgeous little girls. For the simple reason that… He could? That he wanted to? That he’s a murderous psychopath with no idea about the value of life? Anyway, who knows? Why he murdered them, and injured 8 others – Read More-
You know when your computer goes awol and ceases to function as a logical entity, or respond to you, even when you’re swearing really loudly, you shut it down. Turn it off. Count to 30 (they always tell you that) and plug it back in. And ‘boom’, it’s working normally, just like before. Or you – Read More-
I lived in California for a year. 1982. Ronnie Regan was president. Donald Trump was just a spoiled rotten rich kid grabbing pussies and being obnoxious in a not yet famous way. I was staying with a friend’s cousin for the first few days of my arrival. And I walked into the room to see – Read More-
Today, in Washington, Donald Trump becomes God. He’s always acted in that manner but today will make it official. And following his ‘elevation’ he will issue his first ‘executive orders’.

They’ve released 3 hostages. As per the agreement with Israel, who will stop bombing the shit out of Gaza for a little while (to be decided, depending no so many things). Am I happy? For those hostages; incredibly. I’ve found myself rather emotional all day when watching the endless videos of the whole process. How – Read More-
Wednesday night. Spurs playing Arsenal at 8 o’clock. Lila and Joey having a sleepover due to… stuff. And Joey is currently football-mad. The ‘football’ bit because he loves the players, the stadia, the league table and its numbers, and the ‘mad’ because he loves Spurs and that can only lead to misery and insanity, long-term. – Read More-
I was really upset to learn that David Lynch, the film maker, had died. Even though I haven’t seen one of his movies for decades. And, if I’m honest, I barely knew the man. But anyone who watched every single one of the… 36? 49? 123??? episodes of Twin Peaks, when it came out, has – Read More-
I wish Biden, or even Trump, had declared a ceasefire at the Emirates last night, just after we took the lead against Arsenal. But that didn’t happen. Instead they’ve declared a ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza. From Sunday. The Americans, the Qataris, a few Egyptians and even one or two Israelis. It’s taken 8 months to ‘sort – Read More-
I overheard a conversation the other day. It was about Jesus. Two people in the pub were saying that Jesus was Jewish!!! Can you believe that??? I mean, “Jesus CHRIST”? The name kind’a gives it away, right? And everyone knows that in fact the Jews killed Jesus. Then ate him. It’s in the bible. Well, – Read More-
