So it turns out that one of Britain’s most famous and respected newsreaders (the one who actually first announced the death of the Queen) has just pleaded guilty to looking at indecent images of children.
This comes after it’s revealed that:
– The most bland and vanilla TV presenter in human existence groomed and had an affair with a teenage boy
– One of the nation’s greatest and most universally beloved national treasures (ok so he was born in Australia but the UK very much adopted him as his own), who we were taught at school was the closest thing to a modern-day Renaissance Man, was a paedophile and a serial rapist.
– Jimmy Saville (I’ll just leave it there).
Have all your most beloved TV personalities been revealed to be monsters as well, or is that just a British thing?
Good afternoon from Bangkok.. just arrived here this morning.
One of my favourite cities, not only for eating but just for wandering around in, there is always something strange and/or interesting to see,to smell or to taste.

After eating some Ramen the past week, I do have to say I can see why visitors to Japan note it’s cheap prices for eating out… then again, their salaries make me think they’re not that wealthy anymore.
It seems like the popularity of our [Turkish air pistol medalist has exploded on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1egvivt/south_korea_sent_a_fullykitted_out_player_for_the/). In the meanwhile the fact that it’s a team event kind of got lost ha ha, poor girl who was on the team.
I have a German test tomorrow. I did not prepare in any way, I don’t know what it will entail, what the questions are like, how the formatting is. Maybe I will have a look tonight. Maybe not.
I always have a deck of cards in with me if I’m going somewhere, they take almost no space and it’s just good to have. These days with smart phones you can entertain yourself almost anywhere no problem, but for example when I go to watch rallies with my mates there often isn’t good internet, or reception at all, so it’s nice to be able to play cards while you wait for the rally cars.
[Here’s the deck](https://i.imgur.com/tbeqMUt.jpg) that has lived in my back bag for almost a decade now, versus the unopened spare I have for when the other one becomes too destroyed or I lose a card or something. I was thinking of making the switch, but honestly the actual cards are still in pretty good condition. These casino-style cards are honestly so good quality, can recommend. The deck costs almost nothing, they’re classic looking, and they genuinely will last for years.
