What does summer mean to you? Cricket at Lords? Tennis without an umbrella? Top down on the car? Shorts’n’t-shirts? Liberation from football woes? Or ice cream?

The government refuses to give up all its private WhatsApp messages to the inquiry into Boris’s Covid behaviour. The latest inquiry. Part 7: “The CRISIS!!!” In previous parts we’ve had partygate, Dominic-Cummings-gate and the garden gate, through which Boris goes out for his daily run. To prove every day, as he has for the past – Read More-
Apparently we (and I speak here for ALL of humanity) are facing extinction. Not the one that’s coming because of global warming, that’ll take some time. This one is from Artificial Intelligence.

I just want to mention Philip Schofield, not cos I like him, dislike him, have ever watched him or give two shits for anything he says or does. I just want to mention him.

I want to apply for a transfer. I’ve written to Daniel Levy to request being put on the transfer market, so I can go and be a fan at another club. I have a lot going for me as a football fan. I’m experienced, I’m loyal (well, til yesterday), I love the game, I’m completely – Read More-
I really love connectivity. I love the way things go round and you end up where they started. Its the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. Its finding that a guy your friend met is the friend of another guy who was your best mate in 1973. And thus, the tale of Maiwenn. Who? Oh, Maiwenn, – Read More-
