    Jeez. It was only a few years ago that a freaking cardboard box would keep a child amused. For Suity's kids. I think it probably still does.
    Meh. Oooh look, squirrel.

      And then you have to do the tidying up when you book a hall.

      We booked an indoor adventure type thing for our darlings....all in £10 per kid. Well, chicken nuggets and chips, staple to a 5 year old apparantly. No hassle, 20 kids, well when I say no hassle...it was when the kids went home. Glad it's only twice a year.

        Good point.

        I think we thought this last year. Book a venue(run about something like that). Meals in bags. 3 hours. **** off at the end, someone elses problem.

        Oh no. Let's hire a run down hall, stick loads of balloons in, hire a death trap bouncy thing and some twat who can pull rabbits out of his arse or make a coin appear from behind a childs ear to the amazement of every five year old(and some dickhead who fixes PC's on a Saturday morning for £15) and then waste my day tidying the ******* place up to make it look like the tuliphole it already was in case we lose our £50 deposit.

        Brill.

            Seems like you and your sockies have a charmed life. How the fook you don't get a ban can only be down to the crying and wailing you put up when you get an infraction and the fact that everyone felt a little sorry for you last week.

            Bless.

              A ban for what? What sockies?

              CUK is a bit of an eco system. Without suity you would run amok. Someone needs to keep you in line, boy.

                Some years ago my brother bought what must have been the last of the big CRT tellies, 36" in a massive box.

                His kids lived in that box for five weeks before it gave up. They slept in it in the living room...

                  Did you get this guy? He seems very popular with the audience.

                      I was accused of being middle class once.

                      Was so offended I nearly choked on my Polenta.
                      My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.
