I had an ‘incident’ on my bike yesterday, coming home from work. I turned a corner, ‘banking’ as you do on a bike, and my left foot hit the road and my motion yanked the foot under the pedal, pulling it under like they do to bind feet, in Old China. But I wasn’t in – Read More-
I feel sorry for Muslims. Because Islamophobia is real and it’s common. And like all phobias, it’s not particularly rational. Britain, along with all ‘patriotic’ nations, especially ones filled with white people, houses more than its fair share of xenophobes. And you can’t do anything about it. Its inbred, its ‘hereditary’, its learned and its – Read More-
Don’t panic. And don’t go to Kent. Then you should be fine. Ok, don’t talk to anyone who has been to Kent in the last 5 days. Or anyone who’s been to Club Chemistry, in Kent, ever. In fact, be careful of people who know people from Kent. Or those who knows someone who knows – Read More-
I haven’t really mentioned anything about football since last Tuesday, the day of the apocalypse. The day when the farcically catastrophic degenerated into complete hopelessness. And its all about hope. I don’t know who actually invented hope but I reckon it was a nasty, vindictive Arsenal fan. Called Billy Hope. In 1426. So when we – Read More-
The world’s at war. We’re joining in; slowly, reluctantly, obediently, and a bit pathetically. But war it is. Because the cause is so noble. Even though the people who started it can’t really put their fingers on the precise reasons for the war, the Orange One changes that particular goalpost every couple of days. Along – Read More-
So I only travel into town on my e-bike on ‘zero days’. Every hour on the BBC weather app marked zero chance of rain. If numbers appear. I take the tube. Until today. There’s lots of rain forecast for this afternoon, but… the tube is suffering major fuckage. On the Northern Line. And, just to – Read More-
An algorithm is a device for solving problems. Finding solutions. It will follow a set of rules to find the best way to solve that problem. Simple. You wanna drive from Luton to Manchester (though no idea why you would want to), an algorithm will work out distances, the speed of the roads, factor in – Read More-
We all love that song. When the last night of the proms cries out ‘Rule Britannia!!!’, waving their little Union Jack flags, and holding their hearts, showing their collective pride in our national glory. Guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes of… well, certainly Nigel Farage, but to a lesser degree to the eyes of – Read More-
This beautiful picture shows a group of devout Christians, joined together as they harness the power of Jesus into their lives. Because Jesus died to save us. And if ever a group of people needed saving, you’re looking at ‘em. Because the alternative view of this photo is that it’s a group of hypocritical sycophants – Read More-
You know when you hear something really horrible and it puts your mind in a total spin. Like someone’s disease; a tsunami in Rochdale; plague in Nairobi; stock market crash in Tangiers, war in Iran. At first you deny it could be possible, then you look for what can be done to make it right, – Read More-
