At 230AM GMT today, North Korea tested a nuclear device deep underground in the rural North Western region of the isolated Stalinist state. The mercurial, some say dangerously demented, North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, has incurred the wrath of most of the developed World by making good on long held threats/well publicized intentions to […]

England v Macedonia Though we struggled to find the winning goal in the recent reverse of this fixture (vs Macedonia, A, Sep 6th) our opponents on that occasion never really looked capable of doing more than stifling and containing the England team. Admittedly the Macedonians proved a hard nut to crack but we could and […]

In November, Americans have the opportunity to send a message to Bush, Cheney, Rice and their numerous mega-wealthy benefactors. A message of ‘fuck you, we have had enough’. This statement can be beamed loud and clear to Washington by voting congressional power out of the Republicans’ hands. This is an important juncture not just for […]

It is not uncommon for brothers and sisters to fight like cats and dogs, but Isabelle and I, at the height of our combat, fought more like eagle and mouse. Of course it was me who bore the resemblance to the mouse..and if it wasn’t for some fleet-footed dodging, lightning fast reactions and timely interceptions […]

England v Andorra The brief honeymoon period comes abruptly to an end as Mclaren’s England team face their first competitive match since bowing out, without pride, of the World cup finals only 2 months ago in June. The opponents for this encounter, the first stage of a long journey which will hopefully yield European Championship […]

TULLAMARINE, MELBOURNE My impression of a refined, scholarly English gent must have hit a nerve in the oversized knickers of the amiable, motherly woman who checked me in for the fist of my three flights. Not one spare seat next to me, but two! Due to the nicotine overdose (absence of greenery; legalities of airports) […]

Columbus-a truly nasty bastard. Recent research has uncovered several documents pertaining to ace Explorer, Christopher Columbus, and his ruthless reign over the Indies (which we now call The Dominican Republic). The Spanish Historian’s findings detail several sickening incidents of old style crime and punishments that make Columbus seem like a deranged, sadistic, megalomaniac. A starving vagrant, […]

The devil. Is he the real creator of humans? Or is the average human being more like this fella>>> During my childhood I was taught, by adults and my peers, to avoid/ignore Jehovah’s witnesses like the plague. On several occasions my home was indeed visited by these much maligned foes, and every time they […]
