A Slap in the Chops is Not What it Seems…Or is It?

Posted on March 30, 2022

When I woke up yesterday morning and did my obligatory scroll through Facebook, I saw the following post from a friend. “MADNESS AT THE OSCARS!!” I initially thought that Suggs and the Nutty Boys must have put on a great gig. That theory was soon put to bed (although it didn’t stop me hilariously replying with, “Did they play ‘House of Fun’?”). Headline after headline featured the story of Oscar nominee, Will Smith, slapping ...

Labour’s Complex Route to Power

Posted on March 27, 2022

When I was looking at the opinion polls yesterday, I found myself wondering how it would be possible for the Labour Party to find a working majority at the next election.

The last time I checked, John Terry was a largely forgotten footballer, not a politician. Nor as far as I am aware, did he fund ...

Arise, Sir Gavin Williamson!

Posted on March 4, 2022

There is a reason for everything in life. Yesterday, someone turned up at our house and handed Aden (Jennifer’s son) two pounds in exchange for an inflatable Jesus Christ. There is a reason Jennifer found it amongst a load of old kids’ stuff. There is a reason she put it on Facebay and there is a reason someone drove several miles to pay two English pounds for it. Huawei Sacking If that sounds like something from a parallel universe, ...
