There was a very funny message on X at the weekend from some wag calling himself ‘Napoleon’ reporting that he had ‘Just been out for a walk. I didn’t hydrate or put sunscreen on, so I’m dead now.’ Global warming has reached Hull again, and here in the Man Cave it is like an oven. I have reset my air-conditioning unit from […]

For the public health sceptic, monkeypox is the gift that keeps on giving. Hot off the press is a case that has rocked the worlds of virology and epidemiology, with the monkeypox virus facing accusations of plagiarism. Plagiarism, the deliberate use of the words or ideas of others without attribution while passing them off as

The natural order is restored, and I am back in the man cave after a brief trip to Italy. My invitation to meet Giorgia Meloni for an Aperol Spritz must have got lost in the post somewhere, sadly. Or maybe I am just too left-wing for her. Either way, the clean-up of Italy continues, as I have reported

Those of you who, kindly, follow (and increasingly comment on) my ‘From the man cave’ columns have not misread. The title really reads ‘From the caveman’. I am working in Italy this week and I thought I would be a clever dickie and title my column ‘From the man cave’ in Italian. Turns out, using Google Translate from

It is getting harder by the day to believe the mainstream media, which is saying something, as it has been consistently lying to us for a very long time. They probably excelled themselves during the Covid-19 period when they knew perfectly that the risk from the virus was low and the measures brought in were unnecessary; nevertheless, they

As if President Donald J Trump did not have enough problems, what with the recent assassination attempt, the war with Iran and a trophy wife who seems to be developing a mind of her own, now he must entertain His Royal Dullness the Grand Mufti of Highgrove for a few days. In response to an earlier quip by The Donald that, without

The man cave was empty for a while recently, but is now back in action. Not only is the weather improving and the man cave warming up, but the saga of my abdominal hernia, six months on, is over (TNC passim) six months since it first popped out. I had the op last week at the local private hospital

A young lad from my hometown of Hull went on holiday to Latvia a couple of years ago, and met a young Latvian lady. They fell in love and have been conducting a long distance relationship ever since. Back and forth to see each other, and now they have decided that they want to make a life

I have no real idea who Kanye West is. While I have heard of him and read about his more excessive, most likely drug-fuelled ‘mental health’ excesses, I could not pick him out in a line-up. I believe he is what is known as a ‘rapper’ which, to me, indicates that he talks gibberish over some

Let me be clear from the outset – and get my virtue signalling in early – I have Muslim colleagues among whom I consider many to be my friends. I have few problems with any of them and regularly engage with one of them about the problems I see, not with individual Muslims but with
