POLICE corruption might not appear to have much in common with guitar-based rock bands. But what is beyond dispute is that both were so much better in the 1970s. Plods on the take four decades ago did things in style. Look at the Met’s Obscene Publications Squad, for instance. Those guys would not have stooped to fit up whatever back then constituted the equivalent of a website designer for a...

Meet Sonic Weapon Fence, The Oceanic Six and Previously on Lost - but why aren't bands inspired by any other shows? Lost isn't a particularly musical television programme. Although Michael Giacchino's score can be touching at times, the show doesn't even have a proper theme tune. In fact, the nearest thing is probably Charlie Pace's fictional hit You All Everybody – a song so astoundingly cloddish...

The 207 bendy bus carries a lot of people a long distance across the London Borough of Ealing and beyond. More than enough of them do not pay their fares to keep a troupe of Revenue Protection Inspectors busy all day and a complement of Safer Transport Team officers routinely occupied in their support. I spent a portion of last Friday morning with them all, climbing aboard a bus just down the road...

I grew up in an environment where it was distinctly unfashionable to be a male Christian. Church was for old ladies, and to be a real guy, the mentality was that you had to 'get some' with the ladies. Church therefore was definitively emasculating because it prevented you from being a real man. Cool, male and Christian were mutually exclusive words. This kind of pier pressure was very strong and powerful....

Hindsight is a wonderful thing in politics but Harriet Harman's fans of which I number MYSELF, love the rear of the rear of the Labour Deputy Leader. Her arse PICTURED, is so beautiful than male politicians follow her along corridors in Westminster just to get a sight of it. So many of them have been lining up to pay compliments to her delicious bubble-butt that the staunch feminist is a contender...

Several people have remarked upon the, ah, surprisingly misogynistic nature of much of the Super Bowl advertising. This site lists five ads on the theme of the emasculated male . For my money, the above list totally missed the worst offender , for something called FloTV featuring Jim Nantz, the very sportscaster who was calling the game in question.

The Teal numbers are slowly increasing on the Wandle. Not quite double figures, that is how slow it is increasing. And occasionally fluctuating. They are all male, and they are starting to get less nervy. When they first arrived, they only had to see a human on the spit area and they were off.
