True greatness…

Anyone can win a tennis tournament. Anyone can win loads of grand slams. Well, when I say ‘anyone’, I mean those who play the game even more betterer than wot I do. And possibly speak better English too. And here’s two guys who have won way more than ‘their fair share’ of tournaments. Possibly more – Read More-

All rather taxing…

Liz Truss was blessed. She had an unprecedented 10 day period of ‘grace’ after becoming PM, due to a dead queen. She took the reins and before anyone could attack her for anything, she was given 10 days to work on her plan as we were all mourning, queuing and crying. So she has no – Read More-

Revolting…

When I talk about ‘revolting’, I’m not just referring to Joey’s eating habits, there is another meaning. And it seems that good, honest, decent people are taking to the streets, in countries run by not-good, dishonest, indecent people and making a stand. Which, due to the very nature of those leaders, is a bit dangerous. – Read More-

bright side…

Sometimes you need to just think outside the box. To assess a disaster as something other than. To re-wire the thought patterns of the ENTIRE FUCKING UNIVERSE!!!! We have two problems: Energy and Russia. And they’re already related. Yeah, I know, we could just burn Russia and use it to heat our homes for 17 – Read More-

Post mortem…

So its finally over. The Queen thing. She vanished into a hole in the ground at Windsor, but elegantly, electronically, after having the orb and sceptre whipped away for Charlie, and its all over. So the news can revert to being… news, once more and the papers are no longer obliged to keep running ‘royal – Read More-

A nation mourns…

I was 7 years old when Winston Churchill died. I barely knew him. And his was the last state funeral of a similar magnitude to what is happening today. I can’t remember what happened when the Queen Mother died a few years ago, so it couldn’t have been that grand. What passes as ‘low key’ – Read More-

A Korea move…

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to talk about football so near to the Queen’s funeral. They cancelled a couple of matches today for that very reason and I have no wish to be cancelled by anyone. Even the total morons who normally do the cancelling. The hard left diversity mavens so intent on ‘inclusivity’ – Read More-

End of an era…

There’s a lot of ‘reflection’ going on today. And yesterday. Will be tomorrow. Definitely Monday. Everyone’s favourite, go-to, pop-psychological word has, in just 10 days, gone from a term used infrequently on a therapist’s couch to being the guiding concept to help us through our trauma over the death of a very old lady. Charles – Read More-

When the going gets tough…

… the tough get queuing. Every nation has its main strategy for coping with tragedy. Some beat chests, others have public wailing session, the Russians do what they’re told to do, the Americans promise gun control, Eskimos put another log on the fire, the French surrender, East Europeans join neo-nazi organisations, and the British queue. – Read More-

wouldn’t have wanted it…

Its different for us plebs. My poor old dad died at 3pm on a Wednesday and was buried 10.30 on the Friday, almost 2 days later. I’d suggested taking him up to Edinburgh, but ‘he wouldn’t have wanted that’. Having no connection to that City whatsoever. And, to be honest, I don’t think that many – Read More-
