Victoria Beckham – An OBE at Last!

Posted on April 20, 2017

I was delighted to see in the news today that Victoria Beckham has received an OBE for her services to something or the other. With her dreadful voice, dubious fashion range and an unflappable ability to encourage young girls to take the bulimia route to looking sexy, it is no less than this faux Queen of Hearts deserves. She has her critics, but who knows where the world would be now without Victoria Beckham? 1996 changed everything, with ...

The General Election – A Pursuit of a One Party State

Posted on April 19, 2017

"The country is coming together, Westminster is not" - Theresa May, April 2017 That sentence alone, should be enough to make people wonder if Theresa May has any clue whatsoever, what sort of evangelist righteous path she is leading us down.

A Weekend in Norwich

Posted on April 10, 2017

As a Reading fan, it took a while to forget the 5-0 hammering dished out by Fulham back in December, however, when my eldest son decided he would like an awayday Reading FC weekend trip for his birthday, my enthusiasm for the beautiful game gradually returned. So, way back in January, we checked through the fixture list and decided that as we had both never been there before, why not try Norwich City away? Norwich were on a torrid run at the ...
