Yesterday (2019) director: Danny Boyle Yesterday will always be better that today and never worse than tomorrow. It was a silly screenplay – the almost unknown and even more useless musician and composer being knocked down by a bus, and then realising he’s the only one on the planet who knows about the […]
Messi Beaucoup, Lionel
If Lionel Messi’s hands were not on his wallet but on his heart, he would have decided to play for Crystal Palace, after leaving Barcelona. Just for a year, free of charge, before retiring to his privately owned piece of land called South America. Why Crystal Palace? Just look at the kits and you’ll get […]
The London Times And Facebook: One And The Same?
The simple answer is, yes because of the comments section. Whether it’s the Times or Facebook, little anonymous nerds point their dirty little fingers at the dusty keyboard and poke you in the eyes with their six-inch-long fingernails. But they forget to pass their brains and collect two hundred credits for coming up with a […]
AstraZenica – Just A Little Prick (Of A Needle)
“Excuse me, young man,” I asked the 23-year-old volunteer who got ready to steady his shaking hands, before opening an AstraZenica vial and insert a rather long-looking needle into my left arm. “You do know it’s my arm you’re jabbing?” And with what, I could have added? “Don’t worry,” he said. “Just a little prick.” […]
How France And England Got Rid Of…Germany
Come on you Frenchies. Don’t cry. Together with the Three Lions from across the channel, you’ve managed to get rid of a team that is so hard to get rid of – the Germans. Who said the love between England and France was lost forever, after Brexit? By winning their first group match, the French […]
PAYS-BAS: Un Virus Dans Une Boîte En Carton
Frustrant, n’est-ce pas? Comme un tout petit virus prend le dessus sur une boîte en carton contenant une paire de chaussures de tennis. Le problème est que le magasin de sport ne fonctionne qu’en ligne et qu’il n’y a aucune possibilité pour moi d’y aller en voiture, de me garer dans un parking non viral, […]
Nothing To Do With Brexit – Dutch Can’t Deliver Cardboard Boxes Either
Frustrating, isn’t it? How a tiny little virus gets the better of a cardboard box containing a pair of tennis shoes. The problem is that the sports shop only worked online and there was no possibility for me to drive there, park my car in a non-viral parking space, and collect the parcel whilst wearing […]
Colin Bell – Farewell Nijinsky
Another glowing crystal is taken away from my fleeting youth. I didn’t know the man, but I knew the player – hero of my early teens – my hero. When he was on song, the sky blue angels danced on ice; and in the floodlit night of a European winter, he glided into the frosty […]
A Fish Named Wonder – French Hold Key To Brexit Deal
I warned you some time ago that French fishermen wouldn’t let the Brits get off lightly with what they like doing best – being Brits. As the sun sets on the cold water separating the rest of the world from the beginning of the world, nasty little Frenchies are stocking up on inflammable car tyres […]
Election Fraud, Donald? – My Postal Vote Was Legit!
Donald Trump, what are you moaning about? How can the American presidential election be rigged when I voted for you by post? Yes, me – a British/French citizen living in a country that’s neither British nor French, and certainly not American. Come on Donald, let’s be serious about this. You must count your blessings. How […]
