Britain

It’s going to get hotter, some say …

It was billed as potentially going to be the hottest day ever in Britain – and what’s wrong with that, bring on climate change if we’re going to get scorching summers, better vineyard produce and no need to go on any more package holidays to Mallorca, I say(!) – but as I watched the news [...]

The Circus has come to town

In a variety of forms there exists a maxim called “The Duck Test” which, at one time or another, every man jack of us alive has applied to situations we’ve comes across. I know I have. You know the one: put at its simplest, it runs “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks [...]

Time to take a deep breath

Having long followed UK politics from a one-stage-removed and bemused standpoint I reckon I passed my “You couldn’t make it up” moment watershed in about 1980 so nothing that has occurred since should really have surprised me. In one sense it hasn’t simply because, the more bizarre each [...]

Who are we – and what are we doing here?

Beginning my daily review of the news websites this morning I was still reflecting upon last night’s Channel Four documentary Moon Landing Live broadcast at 8.00pm which I happened to watch in the company of a forty-nine year lady and my son Barry who is thirty-seven. It was a fascinating [...]

Not waved, but drowned

From me today no comment at all on the latest on Brexit, the Tory Party leadership contest, or the anti-semitism problems of the Labour Party – we’ve all had enough politics to last a lifetime during the past three years. Instead, another “hats off” to one of my favourite [...]

The Open (Day One – from a distance)

… And so to the first day of the 148th holding of The Open yesterday and a brief note upon my personal experience of it. For reasons which need not concern us here, as background, Rusters need to know that for large parts of the day I was en route by car to and from the South Coast and thus – [...]

Is it just me?

I suspect any oldie out there will empathise with my post today – nothing more than a brief recap of things that happened to me yesterday whilst out and about in the modern world. First up, I’m involved part-time in the conduct of a local organisation which meets occasionally and for which my [...]

Is any of it real?

Yesterday I visited a care home in order to spend time with an aged relative who is currently staying there for a period of “temporary respite” whilst some necessary changes are made to the living arrangements at his home. There are inevitably plusses and minuses to sending a relative [...]

One that Rusters might have missed

Last weekend’s memorable surfeit of epic world class sport – much of which I missed due to inevitable broadcasting scheduling conflicts and domestic commitments including the hosting of an ill-timed dinner party – will remain long in the memory. After a two-hour drive back from the south [...]
