"The Ericle Has Spoken"
Have a Good One! Hope to see you on The Other Side….
The Ericle considers himself very fortunate to have been away from the UK for the Referendum Leave decision. That is not to say that I did not follow the results, the aftermath and the massive over-reactions that they excited, with great interest. I say ‘fortunate’ only in as much as having declared myself as […]
As a responsible citizen, The Ericle finds himself sorely vexed as to which way he will cast his vote in the forthcoming EU referendum.
In the long week since the June 23rd ‘date with destiny’ was announced, I have been trying to bend my head around on what it is exactly that we are […]
Just when you think the FIFA World Cup saga could not drag ‘The Beautiful Game’ any lower, another revelation sets a new low. As if it wasn’t bad enough that Russia & Qatar bought the 2018 & 2022 Finals, and that much of FIFA officialdom lined their pockets by-the-by, it now transpires that […]

I do recognize that this is relatively marginal to the well being of The Universe, and is motivated to a greater or less degree by marketing considerations, but I feel that not only is it respectful of the customer relationship but also that I’m […]
The term ‘National Treasure’ is much (over)used these days but in the case of the BBC this term is not a platitude, rather an expression of its unique qualities – in every sense of the word ‘quality’. The Ericle is very concerned about the prospect of the recent government proposal to […]
It is very easy to demonise Putin and, indeed, much of what he says & does is worthy of demonisation.
However one bit of what he said yesterday I mostly agree with:
“Our western partners ….. have come to believe in their exclusivity and exceptionalism, that they can decide the destinies […]
