Well I have had a complaint from Rupert Murdoch that my blog is faltering. Well what exactly do you expect? I have got lots of other things to do you know. Life is a bit hectic at the moment and time is limited.
So did you see the news about Baroness Scotland at the weekend? Apparently [...]

So now Gordie is going to get rid of our nuclear submarines as part of a great new initiative for world peace. At one step he will save the world and prove that he is superman after all.
Meanwhile we have at last got guidelines on the likelihood of prosecution in the case of assisted suicide. This [...]

Sorry that you have had to exist for the whole weekend without an exciting update to the blog. Had a great day at Goodwood on Friday with loads of nostalgia and fast cars. Mandy Pandy was there although did not get a chance to talk to him about gongs.
Lovely weather and spent the night down [...]

Is it just me, or does anybody else find Stephen Fry one of the most boring gay luvvy on the planet? We now have him treking through the jungle to engage with gorillas and describing it as ‘worth every sobbing, gasping, aching step.’ Oh please!
Why is it now that television programmes have to be fronted [...]

Well now it is official - going on and on about the past and boring everybody around you is good for you. So all old farts now have the backing of research undertaken by Exeter university to prove what they always knew. Next time you witter on about the 60s for ever and ever you [...]

So Tel is really going. It just won’t be the same in the mornings. Now Sir Terry really is a national treasure (except actually he is really Irish).
He has brightened up so many people’s morning for so long it seems difficult to imagine him giving up - although goodness knows as he is 71 he [...]

Back in the 60s - a real test for old farts; were you there and can you remember them? Anyway there was a great left wing playright called Arnold Wesker who wrote earnest plays about meaningful things that we all thought were important in those days. Well he wrote a play called ‘Their very own [...]
