Colonel Irrelevant

I’ve just been watching the tennis from Madrid and can’t express my unrest at the frankly disturbing noises being made by Nadal as he hits the ball. UUuugh; Aaagh; Wuhuagh; And they aren’t quiet! They should dock him a point for every grunt and groan. Or make him play in the Women’s Championships where Grunting [...]

Come on. She’s French, femals and small. Admitting she was a military genius would have been bad. Claiming she was a Witch kept all the men happy as they retained their military influence. Anyway, this was back in the day. When Americans were Englishmen and recognised talent. Talent plays little part in political decision making [...]

The flaf is the Union Flag, which includes the crosses of St.’s George, Andrew and Patrick. A design icon, if you will. We understand this, just as we understand [...]

Stevie, Stevie, Stevie When will you understand? The Queen isn’t better or worse than anyone else. She is different because she is Queen. But in no way better. The Monarchy is there for the people, we are their for the Monarch. The last one that stepped too far out of line and tried to impose [...]
