Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream…
One of the strange things about being a political nerd is that I sometimes dream about Politics. Last night, I dreamed that the DUP had merged with the Alliance Party and Mick Fealty was the Press Officer. How ridiculous is … Continue reading
The Grand Old Duke of York?
It is a bit tangled isn’t it. I am not addressing the Epstein case (will do it later in the week when I buy some vitriol in the computer shop). But if you attack the Monarchy, its defenders say “ah … Continue reading
“We All Live In A Yellow Submarine”

Meanwhile in Norn Iron…

The Slugger Shilling
As many of you will have noticed, I have written three or four posts on Slugger O’Toole in the past three months. This does not mean that I have taken the Slugger O’Toole Shilling or gone over to the Dark … Continue reading
FitzjamesHorse Rides Again…Again
I have not blogged since July. One of the things that always surprises me is signing into “Keeping an Eye on the Czar of Russia” is the stats …people really do read this Blog. I find this literally awesome …a … Continue reading
