This is of course a completely hypothetical question… Perhaps you don’t give a monkey’s (or even a rat’s arse) about this question, but please don’t have a cow or get on your high horse about it. Bear with me because, at the end of the day, this might well be a life-changing experience for all of us. Ba...

Ah, January. Traditional month of eating all the tins from the back of the cupboard, being skint and drying bananas for kicks. One of my resolutions, apart from not making any more resolutions, is to stop giving money to charity and gamble more. Honourable, I’m sure you’ll agree? With this in mind, I&...

Three days this week, the entire King’s Cross area has been even more chaotic than normal – I mean chocca-block, log-jam, stand-still congestathons. It’s so bad that traffic trying to go westbound down the Euston Road is backing all the way up through Caledonian Road and York Way. And to make...

Bizarrely I’ve managed to avoid the news this week. Catching up this morning it appears this has been a big deal. I’ve missed a lot of it and I’m not sure I give a monkey’s, but I was wondering what you guys thought? Does anyone have an opinion?
