Fight Game stuff

There’s no doubt that professional heavyweight boxing is on the up and those of us interested in the Noble Art are as pleased as anyone about the development because – echoing what they used to say in cricket back in the day (“a strong Yorkshire means a strong England”) – similar [...]

The small gap between certainty and the opposite

It’s a funny old world we live in. Yesterday I travelled by train into central London to lunch with some old mates who on the face of it have nothing more in common than a past in the sense that we all went to the same school at roughly the same time. At least that’s one way of looking at it. [...]

Joni got it right

Straying for a moment from my daily brief, today I am joining other Rust columnists who recently have been detailing their brushes – and frustrations – with the modern world and how it doesn’t really work in favour of those of us beyond the first flush of youth. In the year 2020, when [...]

Towards the sunny uplands?
