Anyone got the old Robo Hunter Titan books? Was there a strange effect on some of the pages, that looked like a child colouring in the laser blasts with a red pen? It's to settle an argument.

So TV pulls stuff from their services, so people don't have the option to watch them at all, and at the same time provides inadequate warnings for the stuff they're actually showing that guarantees people get traumatised. 'Sexual content' is a flash of boob/willy. It is NOT attempted rape. JTS.

the story about the ULEZ bomber, a white bloke in his 60s, still isn’t on the front page of the BBC News when it feels like quite a big story about online radicalisation & violence

In my early 20s I had an affair with a married woman almost 20 years older than me that I worked with. The sex was mind blowing but has ruined every other relationship I've had since as nothing has lived up to what we did together.

Burnham speaks better than Starmer, he comes across better than Starmer, he connects with people better than Starmer.

That makes him a lot more dangerous than Starmer. Let's be honest - we have a real fight on our hands.

As parents, we're not supposed to have a favourite child. However, when making chocolate spread sandwiches I always put more spread in the one I'm going to give my daughter. Don't feel bad in the slightest, she doesn't play up as much as my son does.

My wife and I did a "message in a bottle" in 1999 for our son to find. We dated it 1956 and from another continent. We planted the bottle on the beach but then couldn't find it. 3 weeks later it was front page news in our local newspaper. We didn't own up.
