English bloke, tolerant of pretty much anything consensual that anyone wants to do. Amazes me how few replies beginning "So" are worth reading.

You only have to look a veterinary services, 30 years ago they were affordable, then pet insurance became big business, now you have to have insurance to be able to afford healthcare for your pets, paying out of pocket is ridiculous

I think my brain edited out the true horror of Truss's insane period as PM, probably to protect my mental health. Relive the trauma in glorious Tenchicolor.

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

Recently I went to Chile to see the Extremely Large Telescope being built in the Atacama. The BBC just published my feature about its construction challenges, the discoveries to come, and its fun name...the result of what I call telescopic "nominative magnification". :) www.bbc.com/future/artic...

In the otherworldly Chilean desert, this huge telescope could reveal alien life

So, happy 92nd anniversary to this diary entry, whose last line you will not be able to predict
VENICE, August 20th, 1933. – Here as a joy-hog: a pleasant change after that pension on the Giudecca two years ago. We went to the Lido this morning, and the Doge's Palace looked more beautiful from a speed-boat than it ever did from a gondola. The bathing, on a calm day, must be the worst in Europe: water like hot saliva, cigar-ends floating into one's mouth, and shoals of jelly-fish. Lifar came to dinner. Bertie mentioned that all whales have syphilis.

Had a Restore leaflet delivered today. When I went to give it back, it was somewhat tragic to see that the leafletter had brought along his 8 to 10yo daughter to help him deliver leaflets demanding that children who might well be at school with her be sent "home".

This is not a statement, it's a party political broadcast. Why is the BBC airing Farage lying, unchecked? Why put this out live when you don't know what lies he's going to tell? Why not wait until he's put it out, and then broadcast it with analysis that fact checks it... or not broadcasting it?
