deserved

A man has slammed an ‘entitled’ couple for stealing his sun loungers at a holiday resort in the Caribbean, but while some people agree with his stance, others say he is part of the problem

A man has sparked a debate after sharing how he took revenge on an ‘entitled’ couple for stealing his sun loungers at a holiday resort. He explained how he and his wife were enjoying a well-earned vacation in the Caribbean after saving up for a week of relaxation.

He explained: “It wasn’t very crowded. We picked out a couple of nice loungers and spent most of the week there with no issues. Another couple showed up a few days before we were scheduled to leave. My wife caught them looking at us a few times over a couple of days.”

On their last morning at the resort, they noticed the couple’s belongings spread across their loungers.

While they wouldn’t have had an issue with this if the couple were sitting on them taking in the sun, the man explained how the couple “didn’t show up until noon”.

He said: “Later, after they arrived and we saw who it was, my wife said they stole our spot on purpose.

“Confirmed when my wife was in the water and saw then walk by me in our new, less awesome spot. They looked at me and started laughing.”

Before leaving the resort to fly home the next day, the man came up with a plan to teach them a lesson they’d never forget.

“We were leaving the next day,” he added. “We went down very early, spread fresh towels on the loungers, put fresh folded towels down, and left our leftover suntan lotion and our inflatable floats on the loungers.

“Hope they spent all day waiting to see who stole their spot.”

While some users praised him for his revenge, others say he’s “just as bad” because he tried to claim the same beds all week long.

Commenting on his post, one user said: “I don’t get it… you thought the loungers belonged to you for the whole week?”

Another user added: “Every resort and cruise ship needs to adopt the policy of not saving seats. If you get up to go jump in the pool for a bit and leave your belongings there, fine.

“But leaving a towel on a chair all day is silly, and I have seen some places that have signage saying that towels left on chairs like that will be taken by staff.”

A third user said: “People who think they own a spot at a hotel are the worst.”

One more user added: “They were the hotels loungers – for the hotels guests. First come, first served.

“If you want your personal loungers then pack them into your cases and take them with you.

“Then you intentionally left a bunch of junk and littered the place up. And now you’re bragging about it.”

And dominate they did. Re-energised and ready, Weir was leading from the front.

Two assists were provided in the first half, when she had a few sniffs of her own at goal, but it was after the break when the midfielder truly started banging on the door for a goal.

Andreatta’s side had, deservedly, fought back twice to level the game at 2-2 at half-time, but Euro 2025 hosts and quarter-finalists Switzerland, restored their lead swiftly into the second half.

Weir, along with numerous team-mates, had the opportunity to haul them back level again. No-one was more desperate than her to do so.

With each skied, skewed or saved shot, the midfielder appeared to grow in angst. Those in the stands certainly did.

Until, at two goals down and just under 15 minutes left, she slotted home. Dream, achieved. Or not.

Referee Abi Byrne was booed as she denied Weir, and Dunfermline, of their fairy tale moment for a handball in the build-up – the Scotland star said post-match she thought it was “unlucky” but was told “that’s the rule”.

It seemed an unspoken one that Weir was sure to have her moment, though. And in added time, it came.

A perfect pick-out from Martha Thomas presented Weir with the picture she’d envisioned from her early days in football – a sight, and shot, at goal at East End Park.

“It was such a cool moment for me to score in front of the Norrie McCathie stand, that has been a dream of mine since I was really young,” an emotional Weir told BBC Scotland.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute [of being here]. For me it’s been great and I think the girls have enjoyed it as well.

“My parents still live in Dunfermline, it’s still a massive part of my life so it really means a lot to be here.”

A few weeks ago Weir was in a red frock in France, walking the red carpet at the Ballon d’Or ceremony. On Tuesday, drenched, she was describing her goal in Dunfermline – a moment which “ranks right up there”.

East your heart out, Paris. The Kingdom of Fife rules.

A SCHOOL teacher has been suspended for allegedly showing a video of Charlie Kirk’s horror assassination to kids as young as 10 in class.

The teacher also reportedly told their students that the MAGA influencer “deserved” to be killed.

Graphic footage of Kirk’s death has been widely circulated online in the aftermath of the shocking attack.

But in Toronto, a teacher allegedly “traumatised” their class by showing school children the grisly clip.

The Corvette Junior Public School teacher, who has not been named, was relieved of their duties after the incident pending an investigation.

Kids aged 10 and 11 were made to watch the horrifying video of Kirk’s final moments, the Toronto Sun has reported.

The staff member is understood not to be the class’ regular teacher and was simply supervising the group that day.

Everything we know so far…

A source close to the situation told the paper: “Several students from his class went home and complained to their parents, traumatised at witnessing the on-camera death, which they were forced to witness numerous times over.

“Parents subsequently reached out to school administrators, who will be putting him on leave at the start of the school day September 12, 2025.”

They added: “While playing this video repeatedly, he gave a speech to his students regarding anti-fascism, anti-trans, and how Charlie Kirk deserved for this to occur.”

The school’s principal Jennifer Koptie sent a letter to the parents of the affected children to explain the situation.

It reads: “We are writing to inform you about an incident that is reported to have taken place in your child’s class yesterday.

“During class, students were said to have been shown a portion of a violent video in response to questions being asked about a recent tragic event in the United States.”

“The teacher has been relieved of all teaching responsibilities pending the outcome of the investigation and will not be at the school.”

Koptie added that the school is providing support to any kids who were traumatised by the video.

“The video is believed to have been shown once by a staff member supervising the class who is not the homeroom teacher,” she wrote.

“While an investigation must still be conducted to learn all of the details, the report of this incident is extremely troubling and completely unacceptable.

“We recognise the seriousness of this matter and have taken immediate steps to follow all appropriate policies and procedures.”

It is just one of several firings and suspensions across schools and universities in the wake of Kirk’s death.

At the University of Mississippi, a staff member was let go for sharing “hurtful, insensitive comments” about the assassination.

Broadcaster MSNBC has also fired one of its analysts over comments made in the wake of the shock attack.

Kirk was hit in the neck by a bullet at a student debate even on Wednesday in Utah.

His death was confirmed by President Donald Trump within a couple of hours.

After a multi-day probe, cops apprehended Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the investigation.

The 22-year-old was arrested after his dad turned him into the police.

He had “excitedly” bragged about his long-range shooting skills last year, according to a former colleague.

The alleged shooter also shared twisted jokes with his friends on Discord as the FBI frantically searched for a suspect.

After a grainy image was released during the probe, Robinson had reportedly joked that his “doppleganger” was on the loose.

On a Discord forum, he also mocked the police investigation, saying he had “better also get rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have lying around”.

A firebrand conservative commentator, Charlie Kirk was perhaps best known for his key role in the pro-Trump think tank Turning Point USA.

His funeral is scheduled to take place on September 21 in Arizona.

Kirk was a hard-line supporter of President Donald Trump, who has pledged to attend the ceremony.

Brit mum Samantha Cooper was enjoying a two-week sunshine break with her family in Cyprus when she became fed up with the daily scramble to find a spot by the pool

A British holidaymaker has been caught on camera shamelessly stealing towels from sunbed hoggers who were reserving loungers in the early morning hours. Sunbed wars annoyed one holidaying Manchester mum so much that she took matters into her own hand – and her daughter said ‘they deserved it’.

Mum Samantha Cooper was enjoying a two-week sunshine break with her family in Cyprus when she became fed up with the daily scramble to find a spot by the pool. Despite the hotel’s strict rule banning towels being put down before 9am, the mum says every morning was a struggle to bag a lounger – and it wasn’t long before she discovered why.

From their hotel balcony, 40-year-old Samantha spotted the culprits sneaking down at 1:30 am to claim sunbeds they wouldn’t use until well into the following afternoon – and by day five, the Manchester mum had seen enough. She strode to the pool and stripped the towels, freeing the beds up for swimmers and sunbathers who would actually use them.

“To be fair, they deserved it,” her 25-year-old daughter Ellie Ikin said.

Ellie said: “They were never down there until at least 3pm. Every morning was a struggle.

“The hotel said they had rules of no one putting towels down until 9am, but no one listened.

“My mum noticed they were putting towels down at 1.30am from her balcony.

“We were annoyed because the people who were doing it didn’t sit around the pool until later in the afternoon.

“I was happy she pulled them off so other people actually got a chance to get a bed when they wanted to sit around the pool in the morning.”

Ellie, who was holidaying in Cyprus with her mum, said she was happy the move gave other holidaymakers a chance to grab a bed for a morning swim or some sunbathing. And while there was no drama – the towel owners going back to their old ways the very next day – the bold move made it easier to find a spot by the pool for a while.

She added: “It’s selfish. I completely understand the need of getting a bed early, but 1.30am putting towels out when you have no intentions of being there in the morning is ridiculous.”

It comes as sunbed wars play out in several other holiday spots across Europe, with another British family caught up in the antics declaring ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’.

And tourists in Spain have also been seen caught up in sunbed craziness way before the crack of dawn, even using torches to secure their sun-lounging spots beside the pool.

It was an emotional night in EastEnders tonight as Bernie Taylor and Felix Baker said goodbye to Albert Square following announcement of their departures earlier this year

EastEnders fans were left in tears during tonight’s episode, as cousins Bernie Taylor and Felix Baker said goodbye to Walford.

However, fans were left disappointed that the two had been “underused” as characters prior to their exit announcements, despite being big characters when they first joined.

Bernie, who arrived in 2017, was part of a hard-hitting surrogate storyline where she suffered a tragic miscarriage. She also played a huge part in the The Six storyline during Christmas 2023.

Felix was brought in as the soap’s first show’s first regular drag queen character in 2022, although fans hadn’t seen much of him, or Tara before the lead up to his exit.

Tonight, fans were left fearing for Bernie, after it was revealed she had been stealing from the Panesars business accounts – but luckily, she managed to escape for Spain before Ravi got to her. Although Felix initially planned to stay in Walford with his boyfriend Johnny, he was left heartbroken when he caught him kissing Callum in the Albert.

He then confronted him about Keanu Taylor’s murder, in which he admitted he knew his mum Linda was the one to end Keanu’s life. It all got too much for Felix, as he ran to join Bernie in the taxi dressed as drag queen alter-ego Tara Misu. “Tara’s too big for this town,” he said.

Bernie’s departure also signalled a seeming end for EastEnders‘ The Six storyline, as Suki asked her to give the money she had stolen from her family back before leaving. However, Kathy, Denise and Linda persuaded Suki to let her go, after they were involved in the death of her brother Keanu.

“And you have got it all. Everything that you ever wanted. You can be who you are with the woman that you love. This money is a drop in the ocean to get away with what you did, to move on, to finally let me, my mum, my family, to be finally free of this,” Bernie could be heard telling Suki and The Six.

Bernie and Felix then headed off in a taxi in the midst of the Pride celebrations as the tune Proud played in the background. Ravi was seen attempting to run after the taxi – but it seemed like he was too late. However, fans were left disappointed that it was Ravi who got the ‘duff duff’ not Bernie and Felix.

After the episode aired, fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their sadness over Felix and Bernie’s departure. “A beautiful episode and exit for Bernie. A real force of nature who’ll be missed so much. I wish she was given a better exit storyline and I really wanted Bernie to have another relationship. I miss the Taylor family,” wrote one.

Another wrote: “Phenomenal performances from @clair_norris + @matt_james_morr this wk – am so sad this is how it all ended for the Taylor-Bakers, such a brilliant family + such a waste to lose them all – but they’ve both been amazing to the end + should be so proud of themselves,” as a third dissapointed fan penned: “It’s a bit disappointing that Bernie and Felix didn’t get the duff duff for their final episode.”

“Bernie and Felix were absolutely brilliant today – they’ve been so underused really, but I’m glad Clair and Matthew got time to really shine this week,” said a fourth.

Clair took to social media to address her exit today, as she wrote: “My last ep airs tonight, and with that comes a flood of memories.

“EastEnders was my first audition, and my first job. Having come from college & having no experience in this industry, Julia, Wayne & Sean all took a chance on me to play Bernadette Taylor & for that, I can’t be thankful enough. 8 years later and honestly this job, has changed my life.

“It’s true what they all said at the beginning, Eastenders is one big family & I’m so lucky to have met and worked with some amazing people,” she continued.

“I will always have an attachment to Bernie, she represents so many girls out there who wear their heart of their sleeves and don’t quite fit in…no offence to anyone who wear purple coats. …I have adored playing her and she will forever hold a special place in my heart. This has been the best first role ever!”

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. *
