Well, it’s been bitter cold a few days ago. I know I was varnishing an external door.
I then thought for dinner I might fancy (It was my wife’s idea) making a hearty Spanish style stew. So I went on a hunt for chorizo… and found it at the Co-op which staggered me for it was [...]

Crime of the Century…
Burn as many flags as you want…
I think we should take Iraq and Iran and combine them into one country and call it Irate. All the pissed off people live in one place and get it over with.
- Dennis Leary
No, you’ve burnt your flag.
- Jimmy Carr.
I don’t care if they burn flags. They’re usually (see later) at least probably putting [...]
Cheshire East
That is where I live according to the gubbermunt. I call it East Cheshire but clearly that isn’t as dynamic as “Cheshire East“. “Go East!” as the Pet Shop Boys didn’t sing.
Anyway, through the door I get today the free-sheet detailing all the wonderful things Cheshire East does for me. There is some stuff [...]
Speak to me Goose!
I hate that movie. I hate it. The premise of the entire smorgasbord of drivel is that Top Gun exists to get US fighter pilots from a 3-1 (Vietnam) back to a 10-1 (Korea)* kill ratio and it ends in triumph with what 3-1, 4-1 D’oh!. But Jeebus wept! Sailor Malan would have pistol whipped [...]
The Hunter, His Vegan Boyfriend, and the Bear-Skin Rug
You can just tell this is going to be fucking awesome…
Could you tell my boy to calm the heck down? Can’t seem to get him to get the difference between bestiality, necrophilia, and screwin’ a bearskin rug. Emphasizing my usual sexual interests—which involve rope bondage, floggin’, and an e-stim unit—hasn’t worked. Logic isn’t helpin’ out [...]
Falklands.
I was born in 1973.
I vaguely recall the antics in the Mid-East and things like the Iranian revolution.
But the real big-hitter of my primary school days was the Falklands war. My primary school headmaster flew a union flag on the day Stanley was liberated. It was a sort of coming of age thing. A sort [...]
The Statutory Rape of Justin Bieber…
… sounds like the sort of ghastly play (possibly with Daniel Radcliffe in the eponymous role - well the boy wizard did get his wand out in ‘Equus’ on the London stage a bit back) that wins Olivier awards…
Well, as RAB said earlier I have been in Poland so missed the “Cats-astrophy” he mentions [...]
Lib Dem Apocalypse!
It’s like Apocalypse Now without the helicopters. It’s like a flan deflating in a cupboard.
It would appear that the Lib Dems are no more. They are an ex party, they are pining for the fjords and have joined the choir invisible. Oh, there will be some Nokias thrown for a bit but to use [...]
Shooters
I flicked on the telly box to BBC News this morning and…
Well they had guests. They had a posh young man from Wiltshire who had had a shotgun certificate since he was 11 and some dismal old trout from wherever wearing what looked like the torso of the Honey Monster in waistcoat fashion. She apparently [...]
Epic Win!
Epic win. There is no other way to describe the actions of retired Ghurka, Bishnu Shrestha.
Bishnu was onboard an Indian train, heading home to Nepal, when a gang of approximately forty robbers held up the train. Not only did he prevent the rape of a young woman, he single handedly tackled the robbers, killing three [...]
Folie à douche
The Grauniad’s Wintour and Watt blog reports that:
Former PM believes he could still be in No 10 if new allegations relating to Andy Coulson had emerged before the election
The blog post headlines with:
Gordon Brown: I’d still be PM if hacking claims had been aired earlier
That’s right. The former Prime Mentalist believes that he lost the [...]
