Pub's 'free pint for every goal' offer backfires spectacularly after 7-0 score The Gedling Inn set up the promotion to give away free pint for every Forest goal - but bosses couldnโ€™t have been expecting the 7-0 score line

Expect the pub manager to be appointed to Manx Govt with immediate effect ๐Ÿ˜‰

I can strongly recommend Les Miserables - The Staged Concert as background breakfast viewing.

So 15yo currently in midst of mock exams, which is about as much fun as you'd imagine.
Also means I can't watch Das Boot while sitting down with my lunch ...

Listening to 15yo helping 11yo to set up on new laptop while I, having understood my superfluousness, make a pot of tea for Mrs S and myself.

Had such a good time at the #GaietyTheatre yesterday, I've gone a bit croaky.
You could say that i have become a little pantomime hoarse.

About to take son no 2 to panto when he looked me up and down and asked, 'Is that what you're wearing?'
He then waited for me to get a proper jacket and finally agreed to me wearing it over a Christmas jumper, after refusing permission for me to wear a tour T-shirt.

Son no 1's Explorer Scouts session is 'apocalypse planning'.
I'm hoping it will include instruction on the correct way to put expensive but cool tour T-shirts onto a hangar.

Just binged first series, only saw Anne B get shorter yesterday. What's the acceptable gap before starting S2?

Etymology of the day: to be โ€˜blowing a hoolieโ€™ (or โ€˜hooleyโ€™) was probably inspired by the Orkney word โ€˜hoolanโ€™, a howling gale, with a touch of the โ€˜hooleyโ€™ that is a very noisy party thrown in.
