‘Estimated’ bills

I don’t believe that the recent riots are the result of an marginalised underclass, or a societal breakdown, I think unreasonable electricity bills are the cause. The bills arrived two weeks ago so, for me, this isn’t a coincidence.

Sean Hoare

Sean Hoare was a charming, memorable rogue and a lovable one. If nothing else, he started the ball rolling for me and I subsequently enjoyed a career in newspaper journalism. For that I am extremely grateful

News of the World?

So, like drugs in sport, MPs on the make, and bent coppers, there’ll always be rogue journalists and tabloid newspapers involved in some sort of skulduggery. You can change the regulation, you can have a Press Complaints Commission that actually has some balls, but it’ll always be the same because never trust what you read in the papers : it’s all lies, lies lies…

Restrooms, bathrooms…

Poor people and Northerners (which are pretty much the same) refer to the eating schedule as Breakfast, Dinner and Tea, which is patently ridiculous because dinner is a full-scale affair that happens in the evening. Tea, however, is something you drink with milk and sugar. It’s merely a beverage, Geordie boy.
