Doesn't look like that tram was wearing hi-vis ๐Ÿ˜”

You could also argue we'd need fewer to do those things professionally if 50% of people knew how to anyway!

Fascinated that you've left open the possibility that you've rubbed the tummy of prior Downing Street residents ๐Ÿ™‚

I believe how to wire a plug is still on the national curriculum!

Finn's had a good Ashes though

Completely agree! I just found Prior equally obnoxious without saying anything useful

And despite that an upgrade on Matt Prior IMO

Replace the police with Robocops made on Scrapheap Challenge?

I agree, but I think the unsustainable Miliband model would've left us in a better place now all else being equal (enormous what if klaxon).

Sorry, overtaking is the only exciting thing. Minor things like who wins the race are boring.

I'm sure someone born in 1982 is a leading expert on things that happened in the 80s.

There's a cossie lives comment in there somewhere about the age of the photo in the articles (I reckon Gordon Brown might still have been the PM) but I can't quite find it at this time of day.

Keep child outside at all times. Simple!

For a while Peepo was the only story my eldest would have at bedtime. When we forgot to pack it for a weekend away my wife and I learned we both knew it by heart...

Bananas in Pyjamas?

Interesting! I didn't dislike hunger games but more cool dangerous train stunts would've elevated it massively

Unless they're very determined

I don't think it's a stretch to say he only stopped because the selectors got bored of picking him.

It was a very reliable way to get sent off on FIFA 2003 because it let you make the tackle

Yeah I'm confident it's one of those two

Definitely, but it does have to be weighed against the mental load of remembering where to take her and her sister (in year 1) on any given day!

We use a childminder and a nursery for our 2.5 year old. The nursery hasn't closed at all (yet) and sometimes has short notice space when the childminder is ill. It's quite a large local chain with 6 premises so that probably helps with cover though.

Well now at least I understand why I thought I'd heard of him
