man plans…

… and God laughs, as the saying goes. But Rishi Sunak is no mere mortal! He’s a Superman! Even though he looks more like The Atom. Because according to Rishi: “its all going to plan!”, as wages take their steepest rise for 22 years. Not mine, must be yours. But what was that ‘plan’ exactly? – Read More-

The waiting is over…

Rishi Sunak is clever. He’s stuck with NHS waiting lists which, quite frankly, he could do without. They almost sit there as a constant reminder of how unworking/unworkable, the NHS machine really is. Over 7 million people are waiting for something or other. Which represents 14% of our nation. One in 7 people requires medical – Read More-

audere est facere…

That’s Spurs club motto: to dare is to do. Hence the ‘Dare Skywalk’ they offer to stadium tourists. At least half of whom look so much like Son its uncanny. And as they all wear replica shirts, I spent half the day wondering how our new club captain could be walking round the Tottenham Stadium – Read More-

But not forgotten…

He’s gone. Harry. Harry Kane. Played for Spurs. Captained Spurs. Captains England!!! Yet moved to Germany on Friday. F’rever. To play for Bayern Munich. Arrived there Friday afternoon, by Saturday afternoon he was playing for Munchen and losing to Leipzig in some Teutonic version of the ‘charity shield’ they have over there. And today makes – Read More-

That age…

I’ve always wanted to be that person who says: ‘when you get to my age…’ because I’ve always found that really annoying, stupid and pathetic, all characteristics I strive for in my life. So now I’ve reached sufficient yearage that I could invoke such a phrase in earnest, I can’t do it. Its like admitting – Read More-

Live forever…

We’ve found a new drug. Not, like, for Saturday nights with a line of coke and three shots of Jägermeister, but a medical drug. Oh, one’a’them. Well, not so much ‘found’ it, as slightly ‘re-purposed’ it. Possibly, just adjusted the claims made about it. Its a diabetes drug. And causes weight loss. But now, in – Read More-

God Bless America…

I wish to discuss Donald Trump. I hope you haven’t just eaten because I’m fully aware of the effect even thinking about that man can have on a full stomach. Though really, this isn’t about the most vile politician in America, this is more about Americans. And the eternal question: WHY ARE THEY SO UNBELIEVABLY – Read More-

Lend us yer face, mate…

I’ve decided to advance my life skills up to new heights and approach technology as mind-blowingly contemporary as 1996!!! I added face recognition to my phone. Thinking it would make my life easier. So I followed the series of complex instructions (“look at your phone, with your face”) and it gave me a tick. Green – Read More-

Best day ever…

We went to Legoland on Thursday. I’ve wanted to go there for ages. Mel too. Even though neither of us is particularly fat, nor have any significant ink-work. Unfortunately it was the day we had the kids so we had to take them with, which was a shame because these places aren’t really for children. – Read More-

in a Barbie World…

I don’t know how successful sales of Barbie have been since they invented them, but I’m guessing BIG. And at some point, a massive decision was made. About Barbie’s feet. The designers and marketing people at Mattel had 85 hours of meetings and decided… that Barbie’s feet should forever and always be at 45 degrees – Read More-
