Tache…

We’re here in India. Where its ‘movember’ every month. For all the genders. Where they have more Indian restaurants than, (I’m guessing), virtually anywhere else in the world!!! And, more specifically, cos it is a fucking massive place, is India, we’re in Kochi. Which used to be called Cochin. Until the Mumbaiians took over Bombay, – Read More-

Match of the day…

Had a busy day yesterday. A very busy day. Starting, as usual, with Tai Chi at 8.15, but that after a week when half the class had covid. Not my half, unaccountably and thankfully, but as the wimpier and less resilient half recovered, normal proceedings had been suspended. But now we’re back, better, stronger and – Read More-

role model…

I don’t watch darts. I’m scared to. Because if you watch so much as one solitary dart winging its way to the board, then you’re there FOREVER!!!! You can’t look away. Its compelling, compulsive, addictive and revolting. It was an error of God, when he made Adam; he forgot to set the ‘stop’ button on – Read More-

Game’a two halves…

Issa funny ole game, is bridge, said Jimmy Greaves. Whereas in fact, it’s a game of immense skill and cunning and geniusness. And a bit’a luck. Just a bit. Not enough that when I win I can’t run round the table performing ‘goal celebrations’, breaching all protocols of propriety, gentlemanliness and decorum, but enough that – Read More-

sacre bleu…

The French are such a contentious, divisive and stroppy race of people. They always have been, which is why we’ve always loved them. Well, we love looking at them. Best to leave it there, really, the problem only starts once you ‘engage’. And now THISl!!!! Short-hair-gate!!!! Coupled with ‘flat-chest-gate!!!!’ First you have to accept that – Read More-

the food of love…

Shakespeare pondered such concepts, in that very… Shakespearian way he had: if music be the food of love, then play on. So opens Twelfth Night. But what about food? Food is the food of love too. With or without the music. Ok, eating your sushi to some oriental plinking in the background, or shovelling your – Read More-

Historical…

This man is Grzegorz Braun. He’s a Polish MP. And on Tuesday, whilst there was a little celebration of chanukah in the parliament building over there in Warsaw, he took a fire extinguisher and blew out the candles on the menorah, the special Chanukah… candle holder. And really, that’s not very nice. Not very nice – Read More-

Bad day at the office…

Rishi Sunak had a great day yesterday. No hard-hats in Birmingham, no ice creams in Rochdale, pints of real ale in Norfolk, just a Covid Inquiry in hell. And whilst he was there, being grilled by a bunch of silks, his political party was busy in Westminster plotting to de-rail either him or his make-or-break – Read More-

mother of invention…

Ok so cycling is a big sport now. BIG. All those (tossers) people wearing lycra on a Sunday morning feeling the freedom of the open road, with the wind in their testicles, is a sight to behold, if not to just run over. But this is England. And many choose to do their cycling from – Read More-
