“Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fact please?” The South African voice on the telephone asked.
It was half five in the afternoon – the start of telemarketeering time (it usually lasts until just after supper) – so I was just about to “go and fetch him,” put the phone to one side without hanging up […]
Yes, I know I’m going on about this, but that’s because our lords and masters are buggering about whilst people are having holes drilled through their kneecaps or are being shot for washing the underwear of “the British.”
Gordon Brown made a statement yesterday that was so full of caveats as to be almost worthless, yet […]
The Americans. Yes, those damn Yankee dimwits run by the warmonger cowboy Bush are, er, going to look after the people that helped them. Weird, eh? Why can’t we do that? We followed the Americans’ lead in invading the country and are now not actually going to bother salvaging any people, or sense of dignity, […]
In a story which the mainstream media seems to have missed entirely, Mr. Nosemonkey speculated that there might be a snap general election.

It’s not easy being a bloke. I’m sure that if you drew a Venn diagram of ‘blokes’, it might contain overlaps between ‘football hooligans’, ‘people who for all intents and purposes were educated in the Edwardian era.’ and people residing at Her Majesties Pleasure.
I’m in the second of that group, mostly because being a football […]
I’ve nicked this photo from Bigmouth Strikes Again’s comments. (Sorry - I had to download the photo, my Wordpress wasn’t happy with linking to imageshack - and I’m not sure to whom I should give due credit).
Someone please tell me it’s not real, or at the very least just an advert aboout visiting The Orwell […]
On being Tony Blair’s director of government relations…..:
I hadn’t really any intention of joining the Labour Party, I just fell in with the wrong crowd.
Yes, yes I only just spotted it, even though it’s from Saturday’s Guardian. But it is on page 14. And I’m a slow reader…..
