I was 20 when I met Moyes after ending an abusive 4 year relationship with another dour Scot. At first I was nervous, would he hurt me like Smith had? He didn’t, he gave me confidence & put a smile back out my face. He took me abroad for trips all across Europe and in [...]

Witness another swansong, the wizened old pro plodding on grinding out result after result. With an act of sublime skill this Trapesist, this gymnaste de l’air very rarely resorted to a safety net. Unfortunately today and with age showing, it all came undone. Undone as if it were a ball of thick Arran wool being tossed, [...]
This was written when Ten O’Clock Live was first broadcast over 2 years ago (Jan 21, 2011). Nothing has changed my opinion after watching last night’s appalling effort. if anything if got even worse.

Remember all those boss ‘lifestyle’ shows of the 90s and 00s that encouraged everyone to buy houses they couldn’t afford and move to Mediterranean resorts where they could live the good life for ever and ever? Now that the south sea bubble of the home owning Utopia has proven to be just another capitalist con [...]
I’m one of those cranks who judges every issue in terms of ‘class’ and by class, all we mean is classification, and by classification, what we really mean is ‘social/economic opportunity.’ The myth that there has only ever been three types of class in Britain – upper, middle and working – was a handy way for [...]
Rowing eh? Toffs in boats and coxless fours and all that caper. In the list of the world’s great sportsmen and women, guess who comes out on top? Mark Spitz? Jesse Owens? Michael Johnson?

I could try to be clever But what use is intelligence to me? Number in class = 26 Position in class = 26 Well, that was me fucked! That wasn’t in the script. Being clever is a curse. It’s all a bit subjective isn’t it? I mean, what defines cleverness, clever in what way? Adding [...]
There’s nothing like giving yourself a good old pat on the back. I have been drawn into the hilarious world of elected tweeter Joe Anderson and, as ever, he doesn’t disappoint.
