Wasp

Man and Wasp

I have had a lifelong fear of wasps. I’m not sure where this unusually intense fear originated. Interestingly, it took many years before I was actually stung by one, and it turned out to be a minor event, like a needle prick. Although I have yet to be stung by a bee, they surprisingly don’t

London Bridge

Things Can Only Get Worser

If you have ever wondered what it is like being in the midst of a revolution just look around now. This may be a revolution in which the buildings are left standing, but it is a revolution, nevertheless. The ‘long march’ through the institutions was accomplished long ago and we are now witnessing the finishing

Mrs Watson is an Olympics nut and there’s hardly a

Barbie

In a Barbie World

In a world of unrestrained wokeness, Mattel, the manufacturers of Barbie and Ken dolls, have surpassed themselves. In fact, they could be considered to be taking the right royal piss out of the doll purchasing public, mainly young girls (although..). Not content with producing dolls in a variety of shades to please nobody and, in

Dr Green Will See You Now

I am not the first and, with any luck, won’t be the last to comment on the latest load of bollocks from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP). The RCP, about as woke a bunch as you could imagine, have surpassed themselves with their latest ten-page booklet (about ten pages too long) the Green physician
