Move on…

Ok, that was Passover. Which is ‘an ongoing issue’ for the next six days, but the main event, the ‘seder’ is now, officially, over. We did one Wednesday night at extended family and it was fab. We told the story. But Lila and Joey weren’t there as it was felt that 3 hours of intellectual – Read More-

Pass Over…

And thus did the Jewish people escape their slavery and bondage, their enforced BDSM, at the hands of the Egyptians, not even having time to wait for their bread to rise, as Moses led them through the Red Sea which God parted, because there were no people traffickers with rubber dinghies. They were met in – Read More-

take your pick…

Abdoulaye Doucoure, the Everton midfielder, was speaking before Ramadan, stating that he always fasts during the holy month, and it never affects his football. Especially as sunset is before evening matches, allowing the worshippers to break their fast before kick-off. But the Premier League have agreed to an extended ‘break’ during play to allow fasting – Read More-

Aston Martin Valkyrie on road -2

flightless…

This is the amazing, wonderful and simply breath-taking Valkyrie. Designed by Wagner (Vaaagner, ya plonker) and it actually looks like it could take flight. Which it probably would if the clever bods at Aston Martin hadn’t taken serious measure to keep it grounded whilst the 1100 horse-powers it deploys are trying their best to lift – Read More-

Three to one…

Look, I’m not saying its, like, the accepted viewpoint, nor really barely an acceptable one, but TO ME, (I’m really not qualified to speak for you, nor would I want to, you have your own views which are allowed to conflict with mine, if you’re totally ignorant!), all vegans are stupid. There, I’ve said it. – Read More-

Superman…

Superman can’t be shot, can’t be stabbed, bombed, nuked, tickled, crushed or suffer ingrowing toenails. He’s invincible. Because he’s ‘made of steel’, yet is not actually steel, he’s much stronger than that. Kryptonite is another story. Donald Trump is similarly invincible. He just invokes the ‘fake news’, ‘conspiracy theories’ and ‘political motivation’ force field and – Read More-

courtroom drama…

I wish I lived in America. Not for the guns, though I still really NEED one of those machine guns from The Matrix, but for the courtroom dramas. You would think that every American spends at least 20 days a month either being sued, suing someone, being charged with murder or just being the wrong – Read More-

THE ONE!!!

In the latest in my long-running series entitled “5-minutes-randomly-selected-from-a-film-I-really-love-which-happens-to-come-on-after-the-news”, I chanced upon The Matrix last night. Not at the beginning, but quite near the end. Morpheus is held by the 3 ‘suits’ and Neo and Trinity want to save him. Trinity ‘phones a friend’ to get her a helicopter and he conjures one up on – Read More-

undemocratic…

Israel prides itself that it is the only democracy in the Middle East. Which, for the moment, is true. Egypt pays lip service to democracy whilst never quite getting there. The rest don’t really do ‘politics’ in any meaningfully democratic way. So Israel is tolerant, accepting, all sorts of wonderful things. Because it is a – Read More-

desperate…

I found my self in such a desperate state yesterday afternoon that I watched England play Ukraine! Like, a whole weekend and no football? Its unthinkable. Well, no ‘proper’ football. There was a time when an international would fill me with patriotic joy and nationalistic excitement and then I’d get the cross of St George – Read More-
