This will appeal especially to fans of Burnley, Bolton, Blackpool, Coventry and Huddersfield. But anyone who likes football or just likes a good human story will enjoy it. It’s more than the story of a life spent in football. It is also a timely analysis of disproportionate dementia among ex players

Irony has gone from the right wing media
The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

I note that Mr Musk has come up with a “winning strategy “ on increasing Tesla sales.
He plans to involve that great salesman, The Donald.

We have a grey squirrel coming to the bird feeders.
I have tried shouting, clapping with no avail. He looks at me as if I am a lunatic and doesn’t move.
However I now bark like a dog, very successful in chasing him off but there is a downside, my neighbours have contacted the men in white coats.
