I can't explain why, but I hate people who write 'Best' before their name as an email sign off even more than people who just write 'Regards'.

I hope the people on my flight today, who refused to put their buggy in the hold causing our flight to be delayed by 45 minutes while sitting on the tarmac and making a flight attendant cry, stand on lego for the rest of the year.
The entitled prick said he was being bullied! Unbelievable.

I love visiting new places and I love being a tourist, but I hate other tourists. Well, not all the other tourists, but I reckon about 80%. Why are people so ignorant of what is going on around them? Why are they stopping with no warning in the middle of the street?!

Dragons are winning the URC this year. 100%. Definitely going to happen.
I know it’s preseason and the results don’t really matter but also sometimes they probably do and good lord:

Every year on 9/11 I think not only about the terror and horror of what happened that day, but the fury and terror unleashed on many other countries as a result of it.
I also also think of this photo my cousin took that day from her apartment in (I think) Brooklyn.

"Deciding on a premise"? You already HAVE a premise! It's the same premise The Muppets have had since 1974! "Watch the funny sock people do silly stuff on stage, and also one, sometimes two or three, famous humans do entertaining." BOOM! You've got Disney+ content! What part of that is confusing?

THE PREMISE IS THAT THE MUPPETS ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW CALLED THE MUPPET SHOW
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

Ok, adding marionettes to mummies and catacombs as things that scare me. I blame Disney's Pinocchio for that one.

I was going to go out and find a nice bar tonight, but I'm so knackered instead I did a mini weights session in the hotel gym and am now going to go to bed at 7.45pm and watch Beauty and the Beast (original, obvs).

Just set up a monthly donation. The RNLI are incredible and none of their volunteers should be facing attacks for risking their lives to save others.
I kid you not, the far right are now doxing the heroes who rescue people from the sea. Lets send them a few £ if you can, take less than a minute rnli.org/support-us/g...

I haven't read a book I really love in ages. The sort of book where you can't stop thinking about it when you finish it and you miss the characters.
Tell me the last brilliant book you read, and maybe it'll be the next brilliant book I read.
(I'm on holiday so needs to be available on Kobo)

We all have skin in the game. All of us. There are activities that are more dangerous and active targets, like regularly attending synagogue. I’d say openly Jewish senior politician falls under that umbrella???

Going to shul shouldn’t be an act of courage. The attacks on synagogues are real & terrifying & heartbreaking. You also don’t need to be religious to have skin in the game. You need to be publicly identified as Jewish. Miliband is a Jewish public figure. He is at as much risk as all of us.

Yeah there are conversations where someone’s Jewishness is a valid discussion. There are rare cases of people who have never before culturally or religiously self-defined as Jewish grasping at family backgrounds to excuse antisemitism. That’s a real tactic and it’s gross.
Miliband isn’t doing that.

In a bar and Numb/Encore has just come on. I don't think I've ever heard anything from Collision Course in a bar/club. Which made me think... what's the great duet of all time?

Today was REALLY good. I went on a tour of the UN in Vienna, but was the only person on the English tour so got a personalised version where I got to learn about which bits of the UN I was most interested in so got to learn about drugs and space!!

The author of the original study on wolves who created the phrase 'alpha' in terms of packs of animals later stated that the study was fundamentally flawed and this only applied to captive wolves. He said the study should be withdrawn and not cited.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

The fabric seats on the tube are disgusting. They're dirty, they're stained, who knows who has pissed themselves on them.
But I've never slid off my seat onto the legs of another woman because the seats are a slippery plastic and my dress creates no friction in London.
So overall London > Vienna
