Father's Day: When we pretend that dads are just as important as mums
Then on Monday it's back to factory settings, with mum on the throne and dad most likely on his way to the pub, mobile phone switched off so that none of the kids can nag him while he's knocking back whiskies and chomping salted peanuts. As our readers know, the Diary is commanded by a paternalistic figure grandly referred to as The Editor, or sometimes (behind his back) Ol' Big Ed. He's definitely a fatherly kind of chap, though admittedly the sort of entrepreneurial Victorian father who only raises sprogs so he can make a few extra pounds stuffing them up chimneys and down mines. It's true that Ol' Big Ed can be harsh, cruel and unforgiving, and that he forces his reporters to regularly polish his shoes (usually with their tongues). On the other hand, he provides essential training in the skills of bowing and scraping. Our reporters also become much fitter under his tutelage, and improve their reaction times, as they learn to dodge the many missiles launched from the Editor's desk. (The stationary that lurks on the Editor's desk never stays stationary for very long.) Best of all, working in the fatherly atmosphere of Diary Towers, our minions learn to identify great stories, as you'll now discover, when you read the following classic tales from our archives… Sign of the times Spotted in the sightseeing heart of Rome: a café with a definite Scottish influence. The windows boasted two hand-written signs. The first read: 'Tea is served here', and the other, much more prominent suggested, 'Skip the Trevi, have a bevvy.' Mind your language A return to the murky waters of the malapropism. A Diary reader recalled a colleague at a staff meeting who urged that everyone should be 'singing from the same spreadsheet'. This same fellow also admitted that on one issue he was 'a bit of a doubting Joseph'. Fractionally flawed A Glaswegian was overheard dispensing a pearl of wisdom to a friend: 'Och, it's aw much ae a muchness, hen. Six o' wan and two-thirds o' the other…' Read more: Finding yourself in one of Glasgow's less than salubrious watering holes Price is right? The scene was the Glasgow to Aberdeen train, where a traveller was feeling peckish and was tempted by a banana muffin. But wary of the high prices of items on rail buffet trolleys, he asked the girl: 'Are these muffins exorbitant?' 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I've never tasted them.' Colour-coded cock-up A contestant on TV quiz show Family Fortunes was asked to name something in the garden that is green. The genius promptly answered: 'My shed.' Food for thought A curious reader once asked: 'If bacon and smoking are both considered bad for the health, how does smoking cure bacon?'

Real Housewives star Taylor Armstrong reveals tragic reason daughter doesn't commemorate her abusive dad
star Taylor Armstrong has opened up about the impact of her abusive late husband's death on their daughter, revealing that they don't commemorate Father's Day. The Bravo reality star, 54, married venture capitalist Russell Armstrong in 2005 and the couple welcomed their daughter, Kennedy, that same year. Taylor, who recently detailed the horrific domestic violence she endured at the hands of her late husband, eventually filed for divorce in July 2011. He died by hanging one month later on August 15, 2011, aged 47. In a new interview, Taylor revealed that she and her 19-year-old daughter do not mark Father's Day. 'She was five when he passed, and he worked nonstop,' she said. 'He was a true workaholic. 'He would go to work before she would even be up in the mornings, and he would come home after she was in bed and she didn't really spend much time with him.' Speaking to People, she added: 'So, I guess in some ways, thankfully, that loss wasn't as significant as it would've been if she were older and they had a lot more interaction. 'So, I don't really think of it as a day to commemorate the loss.' In April, Taylor said that her late husband once punched her in the face and, in a separate chilling occasion, held her underwater. Recounting one incident in Investigation Discovery's documentary series Hollywood Demons, Taylor said Russell pushed her into a swimming pool and feared he would drown her. The horrific attack happened at a friend's house shortly after the friends had voiced concern for Taylor's safety. 'Russell, he left, and this couple, they were very close to me and were very aware of what was going on,' she said. 'The man said, "we'll help you get out of this because this is not okay, and we're really worried for you." 'Well, Russell was hiding around the side of the house and heard everything. He came flying into the back yard. 'He threw me in the pool. He grabbed the man, knocked all of his teeth out, and he jumped in the pool, and he was trying to hold me under the water. 'I thought he was going to drown me.' In April, Taylor recounted the horrific abuse she endured at the hands of her late husband In another instance, the television personality claimed that Russell made a threat against her life. 'Once his boys were visiting us and I made them a pizza,' she recalled, referring to his sons from previous relationships. 'He came into the house, grabbed me by the throat and put me against the wall. 'He said, "if you ever serve my kids a pizza without a vegetable again, I'll kill you."' On top of this, she also discovered voice recording devices around their home, which left her with the impression that he monitored everything she said. A turning point happened in June 2011 though when Taylor recounted how Russell fractured her orbital floor, a break in the bony structure that supports the eyeball, on her 40th birthday. 'It was my 40th birthday, we checked into The Four Seasons where we met, and he gave me eight pairs of my favorite shoes and a really long card and it was all about how he knew he hadn't been a good husband and that things were going to change,' she said. 'That night, after my birthday party, we were laying in bed and he said something to the effect of, I know you slept with the Chippendales when you were in Vegas.' Taylor had just been in Las Vegas with her friend Lisa Vanderpump to celebrate Lisa's daughter's bachelorette party, which had been filmed for the Bravo show. 'He just proceeded to push and push, and he would not let up,' she continued. 'He raised up, leaned over like this, and punched me. He fractured my orbital floor and so I went to see the doctor, and Russell went with me.' Following the incident, Taylor was forced to have reconstructive surgery, and it was at that point she filed for divorce. Russell took his life two months after Taylor's birthday. He had been staying at his friend's house on Mulholland Drive at the time, where he was found. 'There was a myriad of things that he was very concerned about, but I never thought that he would kill himself,' Taylor said of his death. 'Suicide never crossed my mind.' At the time of his death, Russell's lawyer Ronald Richards told ABC News that his former client was also in debt to the tune of $1.5 million. He added that the reality show's celebration of outrageous excess plunged him into debt as he tried to keep his family's lavish lifestyle afloat. 'These couples join these shows, and then they keep trying to outdo each other and they end up spending all their money trying to sustain a lifestyle that's unrealistic and wasn't there prior to the show,' he said at the time. 'The weekly social events, the dinners and all the bulls***, trying to pretend you have unlimited resources in Beverly Hills is tough.
