The Ukraine – A War of Posturing?

Posted on March 4, 2014

The great thing about the stand-off currently taking place in the Ukraine is that unlike many of the other territorial squabbles of recent times; it is pretty easy to follow. In places like Syria, Egypt and Iraq there are so many different tribes and religions, it is impossible to know exactly who is right and wrong as the rebel uprisings are often carried out by groups who are no better than the ones they are attempting to overthrow, hence ...

Beware the VW Main Dealer Rip-Off Merchants

Posted on February 24, 2014

My car packed up the other week, going into some sort of sluggish safe mode that made pulling out to the A338 Formula 1 race track even more exciting than my usual daily brush with death.

Alleged Celebrity Perverts and my Only Contacts With Fame

Posted on January 21, 2014

I went for a walk in the forest yesterday with my old friend Nick and our respective dogs and predictably, the subject turned towards the hat-trick of ‘Operation Yew Tree’ cases that, coincidentally, came to court on the same day last week. A glance at the news would have you believe that the trials of William Roache, Rolf Harris and Dave Lee Travis were all linked and very similar in nature when in fact, there are differences in all of ...
