U Turns and Jobs For the Boys!
Amongst all the talk of twelve U-turns by our hopeless government over the last few months, something has been missed. As much as the hopelessness of the government U-Turns needs to be highlighted by the opposition, something else, in my opinion, is even more important. It is this. At some point around February/March time, when a global pandemic became inevitable, members of our government made a choice. They decided that if there was to be ...
Laying Off the Meat!
I am having a go at not eating meat. I have lasted 11 days but unlike other death sentence habits I have stopped in the past, I am not craving it. That said, I am not denying that the day might come where I am crawling the walls screaming “BACON SANDWICH…NOW!” Don’t worry, I haven’t started wearing dungarees or grown one of those ponytails that bald men create to pretend they are not bald; I just thought I would try it out. And ...
Gone Fishing With Mortimer & Whitehouse
When I was coming home from cricket last night, I felt inexplicably sad. It was cool and autumnal, and I had injured myself trying to play cricket.

The Abbott’s Mitre
I don’t know about everyone else, but the more I learn to cook at home, the worse pub food seems.

So, it makes a pleasant change to write a gushing Blog about The Abbott’s Mitre in Chilbolton. I go in there about once a week at the most, with the dog. I get a meal for about a tenner, and a ...
Incompetence, Negligence, Deceit and Sleight of Hand
I do sometimes wonder whether this government is just taking the piss just for the fun of it. It meanders from cock up after cock up, to U-turn after U-turn and unashamed corruption on a basis daily, yet some people still try to claim they are doing a great job. As the latest cock up is distinguished by another U-turn and a grovelling apology from someone who shouldn’t be in the job, the PM is missing once again? Where is he this time? ...
