A blockbuster arrives

The reviews for the movie Dunkirk which is released in Britain this Friday (21st July) – written, co-produced and directed by Christopher Nolan – are currently cascading across the newspaper pages, television and radio outlets and all across social media presumably to the delight of all [...]

A la Colthard/ updates

  English’s My recent visit more or less coincided with a less than positive review in The Mail on Sunday from Andrew Parker Bowles. The gist of his critique was that he was disappointed when ordering off piste by the tempura oysters and tuna tartare and at £49 the lobster thermidor was [...]

What’s a girl to do?

Today I make no apology for addressing ‘Women and Sport’ arena, one of the recurring themes on the Sports pages of the Rust, at a point during the summer season when there is a great deal of elite men and women’s sport going on. We have just witnessed a Wimbledon tournament at which the hand [...]

Shurely not?

Over the last couple of years, I have to confess, I’ve grown a slight liking for sushi food. Before that I’d heard of it from time to time – in the 1980s my brother worked in Japan for a couple of years and developed a taste for it – but the thought of eating raw food had always rather put [...]

A plague upon them all!

Holding, as I do, a life-long aversion to exercise I have never understood the supposed benefits of travelling anywhere by bicycle. In fact I’d go further than that and mention that I hate all forms of two-wheeled transport and am totally resistant to the arguments put about in the PC-brigade’s [...]

Getting to the nub of it

No doubt like many Rusters I have been enjoying my periodic dips into the BBC’s consistently excellent radio and television coverage of Wimbledon 2017. Call me old-fashioned, or Neanderthal – or even cod-nostalgic for the days of the British Empire that stretched across the quarter of the [...]

WINE TASTING

Yesterday I attended a wine tasting of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and Argentinian Malbec. Both countries’ wine-making benefits from diurnal weather- hot days, cool nights. Argentina has much the longer tradition of wine making, New Zealand is truly New World. They now produce 300m litres of [...]

I didn’t know I had it, but it makes sense

As someone with a lifelong ‘early to bed and early to rise’ habit, I don’t mind admitting that my practice from the age of about fifty had been to rise on the dot of 5.24am, come wind, rain or shine. I didn’t even need to set an alarm clock; somehow it seemed I was programmed to awake at [...]

The future of travel and power?

About eighteen months ago my son Barry, who lives abroad, made one of his occasional fleeting visits to the UK and as usual spent much of it on the move – attending a business meeting, catching up with friends and family and doing some shopping in central London. Sometime last summer he was over [...]
