I might be wrong, but I was unde rthe impression that the reason wasn’t poor sales – which were healthy – but more the landlord raising the rent higher than they could accept. If it were a sales issue, I doubt […]

The same Jeremy Clarkson that punched one of his producers? A nice man?

A 30 year career in Human Resources. I need no convincing about stupidity in large numbers. Things regress to the mean. And there’s a lot of stupid people in existence lowering the mean.

The worst we’ll get accused of is Delia doing the squad’s cooking off the books. I reckon we’ll be OK

I just listened to the most recent episode of The Sports Agents – usually Gabby Logan, Mark ‘Cappers’ Chapman, and Nedum Onuoha. It is, in general, a good listen, and absolutely hysteria free. This episode […]

Scotch right now is Isle of Harris Heurach. It’s light and an easy drink. More usually it’s gin, of which we have a lot. I keep a 1.5l bottle for generic G&T, but when we go traveling we try to go to the local […]

I’m a dual citizen – UK/US. We live in Texas because that’s where my aging in-laws are. Traditional GOP voting base, who now are not. It’s easy to condemn USA writ large – but only about 33, 34% of the […]

Is that the Joe Pesci who said he wanted to smack Sinead O’COnnor after she let loose on the Pope?

This podcast, made by the son of one of the doctors who used Dolly Dollars to good effect in research, was fantastic

Fuckity bye

Well, that puts all my travails into perspective. Glad you’re doing better.

Headmaster at Prep School: One elbow at 25, two elbows at 50

Seen them twice in recent memory – I think I posted my reviews. Once at the 930 Club in Washington DC, and once at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, supported by the Underground Lovers. As you note, everyone […]
