We’re on holiday in a rather nice resort in Malaysia. One thing that’s annoying is the English people. Specifically the two English couples and their children. There’s Japanese, Korean, Australian and German families I can identify and their kids are immaculately behaved. They’re occasionally heard but it’s having fun and being happy, nothing wrong with kids like that. The English families’ brats are destructive little excrements and their parents don’t give a damn. One little boy brat at breakfast this morning poured a whole jug of apple juice on the floor when ignoring his mum’s whiny plummy Surrey accented “David, leave that, mummy will get it for you”. Their daughter, about 5-6ish then took a cake off the plate of the Asian couple on the table next to them with an ignored “Anna, apologise now!” followed up by nothing more from the mum. The kids were running around the narrow pathways between tables annoying everyone and it was clearly just them being brats rather than any other reasonable excuse Then there’s the pool areas by the main hotel. One is an adult only pool next to the spa that’s meant to be for relaxation. There’s a larger pool designed for families and with a more open environment. One of the English couples were at the adult pool with their brats and refused even quieten their kids down when requested by the spa manager. Whiny “do you know how much we paid for this holiday, we’ll go where we want!” I was only there while waiting on my wife at the spa and it was excruciating in how bad it made English people look. And these weren’t the stereotypical working class English folk, these were well-to-do folk in a rather posh hotel and they enjoyed reminding people of their place. Thankfully the place is well spaced out so hopefully we don’t have to see them or their offspring again while we’re here. Apart from that, it’s an amazing holiday in a lovely part of the world. We’re off to a quiet guided nature hike today ?

Also...Asimov, did you not consider gravity on Terminus when writing your seminal "Foundation" series? The radius of Terminus is described as 4,000 Km which my rudimentary maths skills (v=4/3πr3 ) suggests a volume of 25% that of earth and as gravity is related to mass**... need I go on? **simplified so I can understand it. I am not Sheldon

At one point tonight (after the goal) I actually thought that England were playing well, like we looked like a decent side. The disallowed goal was a great piece of play. Then we give away the two most stupid goals you'd ever imagine. Now that's the old England.

Scam emails. Put some effort in you losers. The latest to appear in my inbox: I am WILLIAM BARRY, my purpose of contacting you is for your consent and/or help to secure and evacuate a certain funds; I will present you to the bank as my business associates. I assure you that this project is feasible and I have worked out a perfect plan to make it successful. I will discuss further details when I am sure of your willingness to do this deal with me. If you're interested, do contact me via (email deleted in case any of you try to get in on the deal) for more details. Thank you. William Barry. Pathetic. At least give me a story about the Nigerian Astronaut or Saddam Hussein's gold.

whenever we shop in Aldi we end up spending loads more than in Tesco or Waitrose because we keep looking at stuff we don't need and seeing as it's only a couple of quid we buy it. Or I go home with a Generator or MIG welder from the middle aisle.

Finally catching up on Chernobyl , watched the first two . Wow it’s good . Although living here looking at sellafield it makes you shudder a bit !

Watching Breakfast here listening to amazing stories from DDay veterans . Just humbling , stirring , emotional and intensely powerful . True heroes and the best of us

I just did give credit where it was due.? Putting aside 'tribal loyalties' is a bit difficult, but I do grudgingly congratulate Liverpool on their amazing season. Finishing so close to City was a truly epic effort. I think my problem with Liverpool is that, when they do win something, we never hear the end of it. Same with United, but at least that is a distant memory. NB. Don't take me too seriously. I've had to put up with United fans mocking us for years, so I'm revelling in the opportunity to return the favour!
