When I was about 14 I went to Petticoat Lane market and bought a ‘ban the bomb’ necklace thing. Not a ‘necklace’ in any delicate, subtle, pretty kind of way, this was a fucking great cross, about 3 inches long, with the upper strut being a loop. Which changed it from ‘I love Jesus’ to – Read More-
This government is intent on taking away our freedoms. We might as well be living in China during the ‘cultural revolution’, or in Russia under Stalin. Maybe Putin. And I’m not just talking about the freedom to drive dangerously fast whilst sipping cocktails either. First they’re going to stop children from smoking. Why would they – Read More-
Have you looked at Iran on a map? Map of the world, obviously, a map of greater Stevenage probably won’t show it. Iran is fucking massive. It is pretty much the entire north-east quadrant of the Middle East. It is 79 times larger than Israel (Alexa told me) and has a population of 90 million. – Read More-
Here’s what’s happening in the Premier League. Today!!! Well, yesterday and Saturday really. Which can basically be summed up in one simple sentence. Ready? It reads: everyone fucked up, except Manchester City. Possibly Aston Villa. 2 sentences. Sue me. For every other team (maybe not the ones who won, but we’ll include them for the – Read More-
Well I’ve managed to avoid the Middle East for weeks now, despite internalising it every day. So now, in light of ‘Death Wish 7: The Revenge of the Ayatollah’ last night, I think we need to see exactly how the situation has changed and, more importantly, how ‘we’ move forward from this. So Isreal killed – Read More-
Honestly, that Angela Rayner… Now I’m not going to even try to explain the nature of her (alleged) crime(s), but its along the lines of having two homes, one of which she kept her name to but lived in the other, with her husband, and where her children were ‘registered’ but she was on the – Read More-
I look forward to my monthly email from Google telling me of my ‘activity’ during the month. In fact, it’s the only email I get which I want. The rest are all from groupon who, I’m sure, are lovely people but in the interests of sanity should just FUCK OFF! A better man than me – Read More-
We need to discuss Angela Rayner. It’s not my favourite subject, by a long way, but it needs to be done. Because Angela Rayner stole 1500 quid from me. Ok, from ‘us’. She avoided capital gains tax in precisely that amount when selling a ‘home’ which may or may not have been her first or – Read More-
Because I’m a deeply cultured man with a vast array of eclectic interests and passions (read: ‘I like rugby as well as football’), I found myself last night at the Barbican concert hall for a symphonic concert. As ya do. When yer fuckin’ cultured. And it was wonderful. It was a celebration of modern composers – Read More-
This is my cat. Possibly the most beautiful cat in the whole world. You didn’t know I had a cat, did you? No. I didn’t either. He, possibly she, just arrived one summer day when the back door was open. We get lots of local cats ‘appearing’ but they run away. This one didn’t. Joey – Read More-
