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

Flags continue to occupy the headlines, either being put up or being taken down. There was a good display of them on Saturday at Tommy Robinson’s rally. There was also a good display on the way to Wales on Saturday. I was driving with my grandsons to see our team Hull City AFC play Swansea

I have a shameful admission to make. Until my oldest daughter messaged me to say that Charlie Kirk had been shot, I had never heard of him. He seems to have been a remarkably fearless and articulate debater, a proponent of free speech and politically and spiritually on the side of the angels. He was

The man cave remained in Hull while its regular occupant – me – went to Greece with Mrs Watson. This necessitated a prolonged publishing silence, as I was threatened with violence if I sneaked my laptop into my bag or even tried to write anything on my iPad or phone for the duration. My wife’s

Picture this – after waiting for what seems like an hour (probably in reality though only fifteen minutes, but of sheer neck-cricked Hell) you finally get from your seat in row 18 through the front door of a Jet2 plane and onto the tarmac into a packed shuttle bus. 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

This does not come from the man cave as I am working in the Far East for two weeks: one in Hong Kong and one in mainland China. However, the man cave is more a state of mind than a location. You can take the man out of the man cave…etc. My office window overlooks
