Umberé keeps turning up unannounced. I think he’s been tinkering with the drink again. I tried to tell mum, in as organised a fashion as possible, but the woman just will not have it!
OK, so at times I can be a little unconventional with my directives but come on! Just reply to me and say;
‘Leave me alone Ella’ rather than hiding your head in the cupboard and whistling ‘bobby’s girl’ over and…

The first intention of lockdown was to restrict all communication to screens and technology. This is implemented by a) a work from home culture, b) closing or restricting access to social hubs like pubs, clubs and restaurants and c) enforcing facial obscurity in public places. The perpetrator(s) therefore likely wanted to control the medium by which people receive not only information, but any…
Paid search – chasing efficiency
Google’s rent increases on search result ad blocks help to drive their bottom line revenue and appease investors in a market over which they already hold a monopoly and is otherwise tapped out. Larger ad blocks with ever increasing assets and features lead to higher click rates, as well as, in some cases, facilitating double clicks on the same property (Google will happily charge twice…
The day was a scorched earth version of Eden and under its embrace we toiled. Dave and his family were tailed as far as Southcote, where exited the family, Dave carrying on through a few country lanes till he ended up at the Sulham Woods car park. Screwdriver kept his Skoda estate far enough back that Dave wouldn’t take more than cursory notice, but close enough we didn’t miss a brake light or…
A breeze that doesn’t make one uncomfortably chilly indicates at least a climate of moderate clemency. In England one has such weather at least one month of the year, if lucky, two.
We were sat in Lockey farm cafe under conditions similar to those outlined above, overlooking the flat muddy green expanse of east Reading while the sun made much fun of shadows under the cafe’s shaded terrace.…
I’ll eventually get round to how I ended up at Ricardo ‘Bulldog’ Kearsey’s 45th birthday party, but first you’ll need to understand the events by which I was chased there. You’re going to hear a lot about C-Note Jones in the intervening passages. Kearsey dropped in on C-Note one night and used his brains to decorate the inside of Jones’ bedroom wall, paying two gimps on the force to pin the mess…
Screwdriver’s hands are tucked underneath either arm as he looms by the side of the gloomy, quickly darkening pitch. It’s early September. We’re training outside and sky is wrenched with inky blue that makes visibility worse than cold soup. It’s nearly 8pm, nights in autumn now becoming shorter than the odds of a Labour majority.
Boys peel off into the arms of waiting parents and fresh evening…
Don’s advice to Dad was as surly as a smokehouse BBQ: Max out on city-backed VC dough where the boys chuck a couple billi at you just for getting your shoe laces tied. Plain and simple: forget about the minnows. I’m unsure whether or not Don’s message landed cause last I heard pop was sitting on the front step of his house wearing under garments severely in need of a good soak, belting out like a…
Using verbs at line ends helps rappers with two things. Firstly, it gives the line’s conclusion a sense of driving movement, and secondly, because the metre of verbs, in English, usually places emphasis on the second syllable (divide, succumb) an iambic rhythm spills into the final words of a line. As lines often work in call-response type phraseology, this approach gives more definition to the…
