What’s Hot

Better check it out?

One of the difficulties of the ageing process is assessing whether one has a serious ailment or a transient meaningless pain. Recently I noted a sharpish intermittent pain above the heart. Was this the start of a coronary or nothing of consequence?  Had a life of rich food clogging up the arteries [...]

Italy out … but only just

Germany finally beat Italy in a tournament but it couldn’t have been closer. The azzurri were without Daniele de Rossi and Candreva in midfield already missing Claudio Marchisio  and Marino Verrati. Germany paid them the highest compliment with a matching 5-3-2 dropping Julima Draxler. The [...]

Sussex Sharks bite

The Sussex Sharks assault on the T20 was beginning to look tepid with 2 points in the last 4 games prior to last night’s match against Middlesex. We won comfortably to overtake Middlesex into third place but it’s tight in the southern section. Our two spinners Danny Briggs and Paul Beer [...]

There has been quite a shift in film making from the big studios to film companies producing blockbusters to HBO.

More internet exasperation

On my return from Cornwall I received a letter from the Single Discount Review Team of my local council querying my single occupation. I will admit to the odd staying guest but as far as I was aware the only two occupants were and are myself and my cat. I put this in the Polly Pile for her to deal [...]

Italy triumph

We were not that optimistic going into the Euros. We lacked our best midfielder Claudio Marchisio, aside from our Fiorentina’s youthful talent Bernardeschi the azzurri had no creativity in the midfield. We call such players registas the same word for a film producer. They usually wear the [...]

Not all is lost

With the markets and main political parties in turmoil, I am nonetheless pleased to report that for the second successive weekend Pargie was on the up. Indeed my missus was even prepared to release more funds from the household budget to my burgeoning betting  war chest. In golf once again Jeremy [...]

A Family Occasion

Yesterday I went to 2 family celebrations: the first was a form of orthodox Jewish cocktail party, normally after the religious service called a kiddish, given by my niece to celebrate her latest child and a smaller family lunch given by the wife of my nephew. A big difference between Gentiles [...]

Resolution

Readers might be surprised that in a day of upheaval with myriad of challenges and maximum turbulence I should be writing on the ongoing problems of my tv reception but I don’t think I can add anything useful to the debate except it may not be over. Ireland and Denmark had second referenda on [...]
