We try to teach our kids not to lie but then lie to them about Santa. When they question sensible ideas like we don’t have a chimney some other made up lie comes out, prolonging the deception.

Sort of. Only because they don’t maintain their asset register correctly and the ticket system is shite. Dodgy equipment does end up going out but not always at the fault of the person issuing it.

Oh I don’t think I’ve seen the large black ones before. I grew up in Poole. Perhaps the black ones are less common here.

Hey, I’m from Dorset too. I’ve never heard Chiggy wigs before. I wonder if it’s a very regional or age thing. We called them wood lice.

Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!

My knee which feels like it exploded says otherwise.

I never watched it. I remember other kids at school talking about it, but I never watched it. Kind of wished I did now.

I was actually measuring my desk today as I want to fit a draw under it.

Oh I like that. Until I saw the price.

75% here too. I want a full size back. Tired of having a separate numpad. Waiting till this one gets old then switching back.

I buy used cars. I had an X-Trial I bought 8 years ago for £2000. It lasted 7 years. I did basic maintenance myself like brakes, oil, etc. on the end the flywheel needed replacing. To the scrap it went. Bit 2k for 7 years!
