Why oh why…

If ever anyone needed absolute and total proof that there is no God, yesterday’s match at Anfield has surely put that matter to bed. To be honest, I’d been having serious doubts after last Sunday’s 6-1 drubbing at Newcastle. Because that seemed the lowest low point we’ve reached… for weeks. Then ‘the miracle of White – Read More-

I swear…

Ok, so I swear all the time. But I swear for fun. For effect. For emphasis. To accentuate, to obliterate, to obfuscate, to… ok, degenerate, but its all bollocks. And that’s one kind of ‘swearing’. The other is when you swear an oath. Swear on your life. And generally I avoid those. Too much commitment, – Read More-

Devastating…

I’ve been set upon, beaten up and left almost crippled. By a fucking cold. Its not covid, I checked. But its not a normal cold either. This is the worst man-cold ever to enter a body and leave it so devastated and debilitated that it couldn’t even drag itself to tai chi this morning. And – Read More-

sharp end…

‘There’s everything to play for’, as the much over-used footballing expression goes. So overused in football-land, where pundits roam as a protected species, that only possibly ‘at da enna da day’ exceeds it as an exercise in wasted words and cliché. Even when Spurs were 6-1 down on Sunday, there was arguably ‘everything to play – Read More-

wake up…

I can put it off no longer. You can bury your head in the sand for so long, then your ears get blocked and you end up with conjunctivitis. So I shall just say it: My football team is shit. And its all just… gone! And there is nothing to live for. Yet we could – Read More-

Delete draft…

So ‘on the way home’ from Eastest of East Suffolk, we went to Bury St Edmunds. What is referred to as ‘the jewel in the crown of Suffolk, which it really is, for 2 good reasons. Firstly that it is really old, beautiful and delightful city, and secondly because it has very little competition for – Read More-

Travelin…

We decided to find the place in the whole of England which has, on this weekend, the worst weather. Its called Suffolk. And its very nice, a bit agricultural, very pretty, full of quaint little towns which, to fully appreciate, you actually have to get out of the car. But only for a minute, then – Read More-

Eco-worrier…

They jailed 2 eco-warriors for 3 years. Their crime? Peaceful protest. In a nation which prides itself on its pillars of democracy, including freedom of speech and peaceful protest. The guys were members of ‘Just Stop Oil’ and nailed themselves to Battersea Bridge, or maybe superglued their buttocks to exit 23 on the M25 or – Read More-

Muskateer…

What do we not like about Elon Musk? He’s South African. He’s richer than God. He’s really rude, obnoxious and arrogant. He sacked all those Twitters by email. He dates loads of lovely women. Then marries them. Or really, he marries the same woman loads of times. Same difference. He’s South African. What do we – Read More-

Mel Gibson…

We need to talk about Scotland. I’ve avoided it out of my love for that amazingly beautiful nation, the total majesty of which I toast every night with a symbolic sampling of its finest product. But when the former First Minister’s husband gets arrested, their house gets impounded and the caterers set up a marquee – Read More-
