I am delighted by the news that it will soon be acceptable to discriminate against disabled people (sorry, that should be ‘people with disabilities’). How often have you fumed as one of the wheelchair classes is wheeled to the front of the queue when boarding a plane or, in fact, whisked past you in almost […]
As-salamu alaykum. Thanks to a local friend and fellow TNC columnist who pays much closer attention to current affairs than I do, I get the occasional snippet that, otherwise, I would have missed. Muslims making a mint As this is the most holy, glorious and venerable month of Ramadan, we must all do our bit to

Much as I admired the calm common sense of the WPC who took no nonsense from some ‘offended Moslems’ in the East End: Offended by a Christian preacher. Called the police. Literally cannot get it into their heads that in England it is not a crime to say something they might not like about

This year, Ramadan and Lent are going head to head, with the start of Ramadan falling on Shrove Tuesday – the day right before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. So they’re off, heading down the back straight as it were, competing for attention. Obviously, our leaders at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster heard the outcry
I left the man cave twice on Wednesday to walk round the corner to my parish church. It was Ash Wednesday, so I went to the morning Mass to receive the ashes and back at midday – as I’ll do every weekday when I am in the UK – to take part in the Stations of The

The man cave has been uninhabited for a while as I have been working in Italy. It was cold and wet, but I would far rather be cold and wet in Italy than in Hull. The food is better and so is the wine. And so is the Prime Minister. I have expressed my crush on Italian Prime Minister, gorgeous Giorgia Meloni, in

There are many ways to describe Finding Harmony, the King’s earnest cinematic meditation on the state of the planet. Perhaps the most accurate is endless eco-drivel. The film opens in the usual manner: soft light; hushed voiceovers; and the sense that something profoundly important is about to be said. We are told about the great
Global warming is really taking its toll up here in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It’s freezing cold again and makes the actual man cave bearable only for the shortest of visits with the Dyson heater at full blast and as high a temperature as it is capable of. One of these days Mrs Watson

I am sitting in the man cave besieged by a legion of brass monkeys, wearing two face masks and praying that my GP will not have run out of flu jabs before I can get down there and roll my sleeves up. We are entering – indeed we may already be in the midst of

Once again, the man cave is in Italy. I wanted to title this one in Italian, to show how cultured and cosmopolitan I am, but apparently, there is no direct equivalent of ‘man cave’ in Italian. The nearest I could get was Dall’uomo delle caverne, meaning ‘from the caveman’, which I take as a compliment.
