Once more unto the breach

Here’s another in my new collection of the world of political correctness, ‘Snowflake Generation’, diversity and all those other fashionable campaigning causes gone mad. Spotted today was this report by Brett Lackey – on a supposedly sexist advertisement that has prompted a [...]

Looking on the positive side …

Having deliberately refrained from addressing my favourite subject (you can file it under the general heading Cynicism Towards Everyone Who Has Ever Been Involved in Politics) in recent months, I return to it today following a dinner party I attended recently at which the future of the globe became [...]

Reflections upon a desperate night in Las Vegas

In the early hours of Sunday morning – well, about 0520am to be specific – I tuned into BT Sport’s live coverage of the UFC (mixed martial arts) lightweight world title bout in Las Vegas between the unbeaten incumbent Khabib Nurmagomedov and brash ‘baddest man on the planet’ Colin [...]

Back on the treadmill

Last week I began – for the umpteenth time – a new fitness campaign. As I have blogged previously, now rapidly approaching my eighth decade, I am of the vintage that used to play sports simply because I enjoyed them, on top of which the joyous inner benefit of feeling relatively fit came as a [...]
