    I'll let the Daily Fail dramatically explain it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1215712/Thousands-young-children-buying-coloured-wristbands-week-But-parents-idea-true-disturbing-meaning-.html

    I can't fathom if they're 15-20 years behind with the news or the trend briefly revived.

    Edit: They were these cheap plastic bands that kids used to wear and if someone snapped one off your arm it had a meaning to it. Different colours meant different things of the rude variety. Obviously as pre teens no one did them but there was a fair amount of bullying and teasing about it.

    I think it must have briefly revived. I remember DD3 having some and calling them that with no idea to what it meant. :rotfl:

    :o

    When I was a child I finger knitted several long lengths of finger knitting in assorted colours..

    My Mum then machined them onto a length of woven webbing to form a tie for my Dad for a Christmas present from me

    And he wore it :D:D:D what a great Dad he is ♥

    We used to knit a whole ball of wool and then undo it and start again :o:rotfl: It stretched the length of the playing field at its longest :D

    You offering me a job? ;)

    I am, and by way of remuneration I can offer you quality time with a lively 3 year old :T

    Oh and I will provide unlimited ingredients for cakes of your choice (which you will of course bake :T)

    When can you start?

    I like driving, but I think I would quite like to be driven sometimes - a la Simon Cowell but without the high waisted trousers and Sinitta :)

    So you are wanting to relinquish control and just be taken where you want to go :eek: I am sure someone with an ology could read something in to that :rotfl:

    Would you I always feel happier driving :cool: well apart from the 10 hours back from Cornwall and the Bristol car park did not help

    I'm with you there, I like to be in control of the wheel. :D

    Around Oxford was a car park last Saturday afternoon, there must have been something going on there. :eek:

    I think this thread should suffice as evidence of a contract :)

    Shall we say Monday morning start?
