Welcome to my new website

The Longer Lingering Weekend by Derek Wyatt   New York The long weekend (4 nights/5 days) has never been more affordable. And though you might think New York a long shot think again.

Europe: the heat is on by Derek Wyatt There's something cooking in the Westminster village.  The Tories have begun to throw fat on the fire over the EU referendum whilst separately turning the gas up on George Osborne. Labour - their political opponents (now's there's an oxymoron) have missed these open goals and hardly stirred themselves. Though to be fair they did produce a series of internal league tables about which MPs prefer pasta to risotto. I just made that up but I expect...

Published in The Guardian 5th March 2016  Dear Sir World Rugby and/or national rugby unions will face class action claims against them for not changing the tackle law. If World Rugby continues to sit on its hands,thousands of players will suffer from dementia 20 or 30 years after hanging up their boots.
