I'm stuck inside revising for DD's GCSE Maths

:think: (something's wrong with this scene)

Still, it's a chance to use my "Boogie Board"

Great gadget, but I'll be dashed if I can find the Boogie in it.

Old Jokes Home:

I asked Siri for a wake up call.

She sent me a picture of me as an old man, alone and unkempt surrounded by empty whisky bottles.

Siri was in the kitchen here. We failed to keep an eye on her and she got out and frollicked with Cortana.

I worry that we have just allowed the birth of Skynet

I sit on the patio, working on my laptop sometimes.

If you allocated a part of the garden for the kids to grow plants, you could "supervise" from the swing seat. A good excuse would be to buy a trampoline, then you would have to supervise.

Oops, we have had a trampoline for 3 or 4 years and never felt the need to 'supervise'

Bet you have a surround and padding on the springs.

If you have what I would call a naked trampoline, there is far more inclination to supervise. (Though I maintain that kids play more carefully if there is no netting.)

I was driving a Ford Sierra. The bit of metal was like one of the rear bars on a lorry trailer.

You'd get a duty solicitor. When I said solicitors I meant the sort that already has met you 3-4 times and has all your case notes in a big file.

For a random arresting you'd get a duty solicitor.

I've never been arrested ... so no idea about solicitors beyond buying houses really

Also, the discussion revolves around adding hours to what is already provided, not reducing them. So more about GPs working different hours, to provide a 24 hour service - not selecting industries to cut back. So you'd still get the same provision you would now.

You can ask for your own solicitor.

I know of one [STRIKE]pain in the backside[/STRIKE] local resident that asked for the same solicitor several times, and never ended up being charged with anything. I was called as Appropriate Adult several times for him, because parents [STRIKE]w[/STRIKE]couldn't get there.

As far as I know, he's turned his life around and is now working full-time.

We have first really warm day for ages. I've just come in as face is a bit sore. ( despite hat:mad:).

Quoting self again.

Well I can see the factor fifty from boots works. This is because I did my back myself and not well. I have a pink patchy back. Older friends popped in for a cup of tea and I got a ticking off that Viva would be proud of.
