I am increasingly confused about what is going on in Iran. One minute, the US President tells us that everything is obliterated in Iran, and then moments later, he says it is almost 90%. Later on, he tells us that all of the drones have gone, only to then say …
My goodness, a lot has happened since last week’s update. Just as people were starting to read my article at 10.00 am last Saturday, Donald Trump was announcing “major combat operations” in Iran. Here we are seven days later, and thousands of munitions have been used, while more than a …
If I were to ask you to name the planets of the solar system in order, could you do it? If you are of a “certain age”, the answer would probably be positive. I remember having to learn them at school by reciting them for what seemed like hours on …
Well, what a week it has been. We can’t move for people breaking the rules. Yesterday, the Supreme Court in the USA ruled that President Trump’s tariffs were illegal. The day before, the former Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of breaking the rules while serving as a Trade Envoy. …
Obviously, with today being Valentine’s Day, I was going to mention love. However, over in the USA, it appears that people are falling out of love with celebrating today. The National Retail Federation’s “Valentine’s Day Data Center” shows that fewer people plan to buy gifts today than in previous years. …
As you read this, somebody somewhere is busy trawling through a long list of files, going “only another 2.9m to go”. I pity the poor people who have to wade through the enormous amount of information released by the US Department of Justice regarding the Epstein scandal. Even though reporters …
Now, don’t be scared, but I want to talk about ghosts, even though I don’t believe in their existence. After all, how is it possible that a dead medieval knight, for example, can be seen riding his horse in full armour, when he probably died in bed from an infection? …
With newspapers around the world dominated by the idiotic, ignorant and insulting ramblings of an older man past his prime, you might have thought I would start this week talking about him. Instead, I want to focus our minds on something that has remained stable in British society for centuries, …
There can be no doubt that human beings can be extraordinarily resilient. This week, I listened to a radio interview with a resident of Kyiv, Ukraine. He explained that Putin’s bombers had destroyed the local heating system. Despite temperatures that were minus 15, people carried on as normally as possible. …
On Tuesday evening, I was wandering across Leicester Square in London’s West End, having just had dinner and then seen a theatre show together with my son. As we headed for the tube station after a lovely evening together, a large, hooded figure walked towards me, stretched out his arm …
On Thursday evening, New Year’s Day, a friend of mine posted on Facebook: “Is it me, or is Dry January dragging a bit this year?” He received several “laughing” emojis as people got the joke. Sticking to the goal of not drinking alcohol for a month can be tough for …
I hope you’ve had a fantastic few days over the Christmas break. Did Santa bring what you wanted, assuming you had been nice all year and not naughty, of course? How full up have you been after all that turkey and mince pies? My Christmas week started differently from most. …
It’s the time of year when The Wizard of Oz gets an outing, and families gather around to travel down that yellow brick road one more time. Children worry about the lion’s fearfulness. They get concerned by the tin man, who seizes up at the slightest provocation. Plus, they laugh …
On Thursday, I went down to Bristol to see a show. It was the only opportunity I had as the tour was coming to an end. Before the show, I went to a well-known restaurant chain for a bite to eat. There was a sign saying “Please wait to be …
As you read this, sipping your morning coffee on a relaxing Saturday, spare a thought for me because I am working. I am a Keynote Speaker on a webinar hosted in Sri Lanka. If you hurry, you can catch it “live” on Facebook at this link. Also, when I wrote …
