Pigeon Man: My report from the Front Line of Ealing

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:17:00 GMT

FIRST OF ALL, an apology. Many of you may have bought the Gazette last week eagerly anticipating the long-overdue opportunity to read my column.

Pigeonman: See if you can spot me in Wolfman

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:30:00 GMT

HAVE YOU SEEN the new Anthony Hopkins film yet? It's called Wolfman and I'm in it.

Pigeonman: Who gets to ask the questions?

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

SO TODAY is the big, happy day. Yes, it's party time in central London. Tony Bliar is appearing in the Chilcot whitewash on the Iraq war to tell us that lies are truth and that the truth is a lie.

Pigeon Man: 2009 was a good year for idiots

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:22:00 GMT

Last year was an interesting one. And as always, at the end of a year, interesting or otherwise, it is time for this column to bestow the prestigious Pigeonman Idiot Of The Year Award.

Anger on the streets of Ealing

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:56:00 GMT

I'VE BEEN trying to start a revolution. (If you have any good ideas for one and you'd like to join forces with me, please get in touch.) I thought that Ealing might just be the perfect place to get it going. But starting revolutions is not quite a easy as it sounds.

Pigeonman: This is the end

Pigeonman: Too many people

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I don't like people much. They get everywhere. They're in the streets, in the pubs, in the cinemas, on the buses, on the trains, in the shops - you just can't move for them.

Pigeonman: Dubya was a messy eater

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Pigeonman: Exciting weeks at Comedy Club

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT
