Have to comment on one point. "Betting shops are homogenized and sit next to Gregg’s and Tesco Express on the sterile High Street." I have observed that they often tend to have some business next door to them which has gone broke and is now suttered up. They make the shops around them unattractive and reduce footfall. more…

Damn! My Dad was a taxi driver in Leeds back in the 70s and 80s. He used to use a cigar tube to keep the notes safe up his back passage on a night shift. Could be awkward if he needed to break a twenty. Wish we'd patented it now! more…

Good point. The Hyundai looks better - but I think this type isn't for sale in germany. So we have no Megan Fox here to be unsatisfied with her cousins arse...!
If Dano Sonnex had been a dark 60s icon whose mug-shot is as familiar as any Warhol image, then two people wouldn't have been horribly murdered for no comprehensible reason. Myra Hindley deserved her fate but, unlike Sonnex, would have posed little danger to anyone had she been released to live out her life as an untouchable pariah. Flaky principle more…
Very nice. I never thought I'd see the wisdom of Larkin integrated with the Conflict Resolution Model and a PEACE interview thirty years from now, when this mooncalf is inevitably found with a 9-iron wrapped around his fat neck. more…
It's the same old story, a floundering government decides to crack down on crime, to show how in tune with the public mood they are. What's particularly baffling is the seemingly haphazard manner in which the rules are applied.
This is the same criminal justice system, which thinks it is perfectly acceptable to release Dano Sonnex, just in t more…
That's a screen capture from 'Sam Fox strip poker' for the Commodore 64, circa 1985. A game that promised the juvenile masturbator all the frustration and challenge of a real game of strip poker (crashes aside) with the reward of a heavily pixellated picture of big Sam in the nuddy at the end of it. By the time you got to level 85 the spunk build u more…

I think we could resurrect Flaming Cross's idea for bringing the reality of war to the masses - 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of The Kessel / Burma Railway / Bataan Death March / Rape of Nanking / Dunkirk Beachhead'.

I’m waiting for a response from ITV for my new programme format. ‘It’s a celebrity shag-out XXX’. The old ‘it’s a knockout’ formula applied to hardcore pornography and violent confrontation.

How do we discern cause from effect, chicken from egg, barrow-boy schedulers from lobotomised consumers? The purveyors of trash-TV are generally savvy, well-educated types who simply respond to consumer demand and pump out the kind of chaff they wouldn't dream of watching at home. I don't imagine Big Brother, microwave lasagne and Co-op lambrusco f more…
Hard day at the office? I hope you didn't melt your keyboard. Have you considered a career change? I rarely see so called real people these days and it's marvellous.

Not to mention the hassel of buying a bit of booze as the machine needs to be told you are over 18, or that every other item is security tagged.
I hate them and only use them late at night when they send all the staff home for 40 winks.
