All that's required for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing.

'Pushing back the boundaries of . . .'

A phrase often quoted to explain (or more often to justify) something that until that time was considered a bit OTT but I've seen quite often re-runs of programmes made 30, 40 years ago where they've...

Wrong number

There must have been a new business set up in the area recently cos I've started getting a lot of wrong numbers. The numbers must be similar. So I sold the phone on eBay. Let someone else get them for...

The Least Little Thing

Who decided to celebrate Christmas toward the end of December? Why not mid-February when the shops aren't so busy?

I don't really understand Labour's present difficulties . . .

because I'm not a political animal but I don't think it matters who leads the Labour Party at this stage. When they won the last election it was the first time Labour had won a third successive term...

Spooky

I once was a college lecturer and on one occasion I lost the card part of my driving licence. I had to have lost it in the college somewhere because I remember it being there at lunchtime when I...

I think the time has come . . .

to regain control of our streets and again to feel safe in our houses. We should, for a while, forget Brussels with its human rights issues, put back both sizes of feather dusters, one for lesser...

The love of money the root of all evil?

Probably not but certainly once money is injected into a sport it then slowly spreads its influence like germs in a petri dish destroying its very nature. What started out as a football club...

Town and country planning's a joke

Local authorities' planning departments come in for a lot of stick but I think it's well deserved. Take this as an example. Who, in their right mind, would've put London where it is? One the busiest...

Cooking

My wife used to be such a terrible cook that when we gave our dog the table scraps he'd lick his bum to take the taste away.

Where is it?

I bought myself a camouflage jacket a week or so ago, brought it home and hung it up. Can't find it now.

Who's writing this?

I've recently had an impression that when things go a bit quiet, those in authority at AB possibly write letters themselves to hide the fact. In fact, I'm not 100% sure they haven't written this one.
