So Naomi Campbell apparently seeks to excuse her yobbish , arrogant , violent behaviour by dredging up that someone once  called her a 'golliwog' .
Her most  recent  hooliganistic  episode occured after a  British Airways pilot took the trouble to personally apologise to her re. a couple of her bags having gone missing  during the worst of the heathrow terminal 5 chaos .
If she really is claiming that during the incident a BA staff member called her that then that's obviously disgraceful if true but it's very , very hard to believe .
She's become immensely wealthy through commoditising  her supposed exceptional beauty and her nice skin , then when she knows she's 100% gulity as charged , by no means for the first time  , she feebly tries to excuse herself by citing the colour of her skin .
I do'nt really care , it's quite entertaining really . . .

With one day  left of it  I'm in profit from bets on  Royal Ascot races , though I'm being  cautious as I've not fully got my betting confidence back following  four consecutive losing bets earlier this year .
I'll only have a bet tomorrow if I feel confident enough , otherwise I'll withdraw what I left in my 'blue square' account .
It's good to read and listen to the views of experts , but also to watch betting market-moves , and to listen to ones own judgement and intuition .
The confidence , to trust all of that , that comes from a winning-streak is helpful , so long as managing to avoid over-confidence ,  or  reckless stupidity .

In lowestoft on thursday afternoon I resisted mild temptations  to buy things I do'nt  really want or need , or to place a bet , and I gave a few pounds to a likeable homeless young man : I asked him if he has a drug habit , he said no but that he'd had a few beers that morning , and I believed him .
After J left me I felt so desperately alone and vulnerable that given the chance I'd have probably welcomed almost any female , or even likeable , non-threatening  young male homeless person into my flat .
And I let a young lady , almost certainly a drug addict , con me into giving her altogether about £70 ; All I realistically hoped for , apart from being able to 'help' a 'damsel in distress' was some friendship and companionship ; All I got was a half-hearted hug .
