A man by the name of Jihad Al-Shamie attacks and kills a man at a synagogue in Manchester which, by this point, is quite old news. According to Nick Dixon and Paul Cox on The Current Thing podcast, while it is bleedingly obvious what the man’s religion is, the fact that he is ‘Muslim’ has […]

Thanks for asking, but my abdominal hernia – referred to recently in this column – is doing extremely well, in fact it’s growing. I am getting so used to having it around that I am thinking of giving it a name. Harry the hernia or Henrietta the hernia, I just cannot decide. Last thing I

It is beginning to get a bit chilly in the man cave these days. Summer is clearly over and autumn is here. Nice to look out at, but with a foretaste of winter. Of course, I have all the mod cons here such as electricity, air-conditioning (rarely used) and heat can be delivered by the

Next, you’re waiting in an endless

Either I am going mental or the world is going mental. If it’s a bit of both, then the world surely has the upper hand. The man cave is back where it belongs, in the back garden in Hull. At least we’re here for a week, before Mrs Watson and I take our old bones

The portable man cave is being dismantled and packed ready for transport back to the UK. Tomorrow, I fly from Chongqing to Hong Kong and then to Manchester. Very familiar with this journey, I know on the way out of China and through Hong Kong I can expect to be processed by smart young men

The man cave has upped sticks and moved from Hong Kong to mainland China. I am however a day late arriving here, as Hong Kong was hit by a typhoon on Sunday – the day I was originally due to fly to China. A Signal No 10 warning was issued and briefly intensified up to
