Nobody’s Girl…

Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir comes out today. I read it. Ok, I can’t read it, its not available here. Not sure I want to anyway. I like reading happy books. Like Stephen King. Slow Horses. Not the memoirs of a dead bird famous for shaggin’ a Prince. But in fact, its much more than that. – Read More-

Stripped bare…

I’d like to announce that forthwith and henceforth, I shall no longer use the title ‘Lord’, nor ‘Duke’, ‘Count’, ‘Viscount’, ‘Viceroy’ or ‘God’. From this day forth I shall just known as Prince, Master of all he surveys and Most Important Brother of the FUCKING KING HIMSELF!!! I make this immense sacrifice in response to – Read More-

its only football…

We have a expression. For when you’re team loses an important game (and please note: there is no such thing as an ‘unimportant’ game, other than when England are playing). And you moan, you cry, you shout, smash a few plant pots and call your therapist. That’s when your mate says: ‘its only football’. Its – Read More-

Ceasefire…

We, at the Oxford Union, at the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, at the Epsom Downs Crocheting Society for Ladies, and at the Association for Over-Privileged Tossers Wearing Keffiahs, have absolutely NO intention of stopping our weekly marches to Free Palestine, re-instal the terrorists, eliminate Israel, kill all Jews and declare the Royal Borough of Kensington and – Read More-

house guests…

Its so nice to have house guests. You get mired in your empty-nest, calm, relaxed lifestyle, watching whatever tv you want, when you want, you eat at regular times, the house is kept neat as a pin, you go out ‘on a whim’, come back when you like. Ahhhhh, its a boring-as-fuck existence. All that – Read More-

Top Trumps…

Much as I’ve never given too much credit to Donald J Trump, I’m kind’a in awe of what he has achieved. Something no-one else in the world, quite literally, could have done. It is a really beautiful thing, the most beautiful thing in the world. And he made it the most magnificent day in the – Read More-

New Gaza…

So the ceasefire’s, like, well installed. No-one’s died for over 24 hours in Gaza. Not from bombing anyway. Apparently lots have been killed there either by Hamas or by mafiaesque gangs roaming the streets, but the IDF? Zero. And you know it must be really quiet out there if Hamas have not claimed at least – Read More-

Medical advice…

So you go to a doctor, listen to what he says (or even ‘what SHE says’!!), have scans, take bloods, prod around a bit, wait for results, which say: yeah, you’ve got a problem with your hips. Not sure what it is, but probably… And they tell you to stop playing tennis for 6 months. – Read More-

Champagne…

Open the champagne, send up the rockets… NO!!!, not those ‘rockets’, the fireworks, FFS, and say a prayer of thanks. The war is over. There’s peace in the Middle East. Donald Trump should be awarded not just the Nobel prize for peace but for physics too, and literature, any others they have begging. And how – Read More-

political vacuum…

So what’s happening in the world of UK politics? Its sooooo exciting. Because nothing is happening. We’re sort of ‘in limbo’, just waiting for the current government to go, preferably before the chancellor’s next budget because it will make me poorer. No idea what she’s going to do (I don’t think she has much idea – Read More-
