The Hairy Games.

I’m speaking for myself here when I say that I have failed utterly to be interested in the Commonwealth Games this year. After overdosing on the Winter Olympics I just don’t have the energy or attention span to watch the almost best athletes in the world compete to see which country has flourished the most […]

Mac and cheese.

Not sure where this was meant to go really. Just a few odds and sods. Sorry. Interesting things are happening in some music circles and I can’t explain all of them. For instance I would never in all the time in the world have thought I’d take a shine to a highly unlikely collaboration between […]

Shall we cut it off at 1,200, darling?

I’m no Mother Shipton but I was the best part of right about the fast approaching royal wedding: none of it has been interesting. I may well end up watching bits of it on the day, if I have absolutely nothing better to do, but I still pity the fool that has spent more than […]

You coulda walked him backwards and not blown it!

I’ve just had a couple of days off and to celebrate I decided one thing I could do with them would be to catch up on a few drossy films that ‘the wife’ wouldn’t touch with a deliberately longer barge pole than usual. Her taste in films can be equally dubious but isn’t that just […]

Very cross.

I have made it something of a goal to write about Easter every year. You see, of all the holy cows out there Easter is easily the easiest target. It’s just so daft. So on Thursday I started a big juicy post which was meant to translate the Easter story into the fabric of modern […]

What a life # 2.

The second installment in an intermittent series of powerful, ignorant insights into the daily grind of some of the heroes that hold our lives together. A few months ago we had the drug cartel member and now, following almost no research, we have the life of someone who drives a coach; arguably one of the […]

Get the door would you? It’s probably cancer.

Posted. Removed. Now re-posted. Just because it feels it should be. Contains more swearing than normal but I like to think that in this case it’s justified. What’s the point? I mean really? What is the point? What is the fucking point of millions of years of evolution if all we end up with is […]

Who’s next?

The coincidence is all true. Shame. 5.53am Wednesday 14th March 2018. If the theory that things happen in 3’s is true (which it rarely is, unless World war III is really soon) then surely there is one more big British name left to be toppled before the end of the week. It’s like 2017 all […]

Define blaze. Define glory.

This week a man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for being a bit of a prick. Personally I’d altogether forgotten the whole thing but it came back to me on the radio yesterday. You may faintly recall that last year there was an ‘incident’ at a bowling alley in Nuneaton. The fact there […]

Brrrr.

Only one thing has happened this week and that’s been the weather. A tabloid newspaper (take your pick) always predicts a icy spell just when we least expect it and usually they prove to be thoroughly wrong. But this time, rather refreshingly, all the weather bods were spot on. Along came a shit load of […]
