its coming home!!!

I’m starting to believe! It could happen!! It’s coming home!!! Though, realistically, how could it be ‘home’ for a trophy that’s never even visited here? Ok, its coming to OUR home, but the implication is that its going where it belongs. And all trophies belong here. Somewhere near Golders Green. So I’m believing, but not – Read More-

Trumpish…

I’ll tell you how bad Joe Biden is. He makes Donald Trump look like a man in control of all his faculties. That’s how bad Mr President is today. By November he’ll be worse. And in almost 5 years time, at the end of his 2nd term, should he win it, he’ll be losing the – Read More-

Top’a da league…

Last night the England football team did us all proud. Even for those football fans who, like me, don’t really give two shits what happens in the Euros. But England won their group. Which is brilliant. Yet the press is being really unfair about it. Criticising their play, accusing them of lacking ambition, neither entertaining – Read More-

the klutz…

People assume, when they see me, that I’m this, pretty perfect physical specimen, neat, compact, tidy kind’a guy, fully in control of his limbs and extremities. Unfortunately this is not strictly the case as I’ve always had the pretty unfailing ability, as my dear mother used to say, to ‘fall over a blade of grass’. – Read More-

Sensational…

So let’s get it straight. What Farage actually said. Which was that Russia was provoked into attacking Ukraine by the ever eastward extensions of the EU and of NATO. You can disagree with that. But only if you’re a moron, an imbecile, any politician trying to score pathetic moral high ground points or anyone else – Read More-

one for the team…

Rishi Sunak made the greatest sacrifice possible, for a political leader. He knew that whenever the election was called he was going to be humiliated. There was no doubt nor question, it was only a matter of ‘how badly’. So he took one for the team. The football team. Because knowing how badly most ‘real’ – Read More-

Contractual manifestation…

The main political parties, and also the Lib Dems, Greens and Farages, have now laid down their projections and intentions should they win the election. Why the ‘other’ parties do so is beyond me, but they’re on election autopilot and know no better. It’s manifesto season so you ‘show your plumage’. Tossers. The Faragers, being – Read More-

Crushed…

I’m taking down all my posters from the bedroom wall. The 55 year-old one of 20 year-old Olivia Newton-John with flick-up hair, Charlie’s Angels, with more flick-up hair (I like flick-up hair), Kylie Minogue in hot-pants, Gal Gadot in Wonderwoman and the Wonderbra ad. All coming down. Mel doesn’t mind, long as it doesn’t leave – Read More-

Eavesdropping…

We all hate Alexa, right? She sits there in the corner, as if she’s minding her own business. And we think her ‘business’ is to play us the radio channel of our choice, the album which springs to mind, a weather report that will be fucking awful. Whereas her actual ‘business’ is spying for Beijing. – Read More-

Braveheart…

There’s a football tournament on. Don’t know if you caught that. Started last night. In Germany. Which makes all the metaphorical talk of ‘Munich being invaded by a Scottish army’ a bit… insensitive? Or maybe I’m just being too soft. Too historical. Anyway, there’s football in the middle of the summer and that’s something we – Read More-
