Viva Espana…

It was the day of dreams. Ok, always open to the odd nightmare, but a day of sporting glory, or, obviously, not such glory, depending on… things. Most days in life without even having one massive sporting final, but yesterday there were two!!!, and a half. Because first thing on the day’s agenda was MY – Read More-

Kennedy moment…

This was it!! A Kennedy moment for the post-millennials. Because ‘everyone always remembers exactly where they were when Kennedy was shot’. And nothing since then has been remotely as memorable. And that’s 61 years ago. Yet realistically, the rest of the 1960s was in black and white, then, as they say ‘if you remember the – Read More-

follow the money…

So it came to pass that following ‘debate-gate’ in which poor Joe Biden forgot where he was, what he was doing or how to get away, there have been growing calls for his withdrawal from the presidential election. Several leading democrats have now spoken the unspeakable and suggested that Biden step down because, basically, he’s – Read More-

Believe…

I’m not the most ‘god fearing’ bloke in the world, I admit that. I only speak to Him when Spurs are losing or when they miss stupid, easy goals. When I’m driving sometimes. Often. But sometimes there are ‘signs’ that simply cannot be ignored. Not ‘miracles’ in any biblical, Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale, – Read More-

and they’re off…

Gotta give it to Sir Kier; he don’t hang about. Hit the ground running. Hasn’t even had time to unpack his collection of Arsenal shirts at 10 Downing Street and he’s off, whizzing round the ‘Kingdom’ in search of allies. Starting in Scotland with the current leader of all of Scotland, Mr Not Nicola Sturgeon. – Read More-

Comin home…

Mel has left me! She’s gone! It had to happen I suppose. She’s lived with a virtual God for 38 years, it gets a bit much. All that awe. Ok, she’s gone to Dubrovnik with her sister for the weekend, but it’s basically the same thing. I have to do things. Which I don’t really – Read More-

New broom…

We can now enjoy at least 5 years of stability, growth and low taxes under the leadership of Sir Kier Starmer. Unless either, he changes his mind about any of those 3 things, and he has very consistent history of doing just that, or that the Unions, who fund his party, get pissed off with – Read More-

Reach out…

I hate it when anyone ‘reaches out’ to me. Not in the Four Tops sense but in the contemporary use and abuse of that term. More Freddie Kruger coming out the lake, arms outstretched, than Motown hugging. When you get the phone calls from someone ‘reaching out’, it’s generally going to cost you money. But – Read More-

manifestation…

I’ve decided to bow to the will of the people and stand for Prime Minister!!! Yes, your pleading and begging, crying on my doorstep, lobbying my support team (Joey) and imploring me to become the national saviour I’ve always been destined to become, has made me decide to stand tomorrow. But, like, just ‘straight to – Read More-

I’m not in love…

In my late teens and early 20s I would go to at least one ‘gig’ every weekend. We’d look through Time Out and they’d list every possible musical ‘event’ going on in every pub, club, back garden and garage across all of Greater London. And you could always get in. No booking required. We saw – Read More-
