I'm half-British and half-Thai. A random right-winger verbally racially abused me in the street for no reason at all. That same man was in my A&E ward a couple of days later due to a cardiac arrest. I was the doctor who saved him. There's a moral in that story somewhere.

One of my locals, The Newland Tap, does a drink and draw night every Tuesday. I was in on Tuesday, did a daft Hokusai based drawing and it's ended up on the wall.

Love this beautifully crafted enamel and metal thistle on the door of an former bank on Dumbarton Road in Partick area of Glasgow. It's this kind of little detail which really brings joy to my life whenever I spot one. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #design #enamel

First day of our holidays in Devon, the youngest has gone to the gym and for a swim after breakfast. I'm laid on the bed watching Bob Ross before a walk to Woolacombe and the pub. The generation gap is still alive and well.

This won't go down to well with my RA comrades. They are claiming Donegal to be part of England. Proving that nothing is sacred when it comes to claiming provenance of origin to the British. They might well have been grown in Ireland, But yes they were packaged in England. SO THEY ARE NOT BRITISH.

"I have become increasingly convinced that we are heading for a disastrous confrontation and that the 21st century will be remembered for a terrible war between mankind and goats"
Goat war: an apology
FRIDAY'S Argus featured a Your Interview with Richard Robinson.
We would like to clarify that the quote "I have become increasingly convinced that we are heading for a disastrous confrontation and that the 21st century will be remembered for a terrible war between mankind and goats" was a reader question and not a response from Mr Robinson.
The next paragraph: "People often underestimate how dangerous a goat can be - I personally know six people who have become severely injured by goats, and the annual death toll racked up by goats is over
2,000,000",
, is also a reader question and not a response from Mr Robinson.
The Argus is happy to correct this and would like to apologise for the error.
