Go to the zoo.

That was always our default choice for a birthday trip (I always take their birthdays off and we go and do something as a family). Think we've pretty much done all the ones within easy reach. Twice.

Go to a railway museum.

Hmmm, might look in to that. Isn't there one at Bewdley?

Go on a steam train.

They enjoy doing that at Christmas - the "Santa Special" on the Servern Valley. Someone also recently told me there's a mini-steam track somewhere local.

Go to a toy museum.

Never done that.

Go to the park and kick a ball about.

Might do that later when it's a bit cooler.

Pull out £20 and say "Let's go to Toys 'R' Us".

Did that a couple of weeks ago - more like £75.

Teach them how to juggle.

They'd have to teach me first.

Teach them how to do your favourite party trick.

Showed them (and several others) that while we were away in the Forest of Dean last weekend.

Teach them how to make a chocolate cake, or Rice Krispie cakes.

That's one for Lady VF

Have a huge teddy bear's picnic in the garden.

They'd probably equip them with guns and turn in into a battle.

Go to a forest.

Might do that later as well - the park across the road is on the edge of a wood.

Does "DS1" mean "1st darling son"?

So DD3 would be ones 3rd youngest daughter?

Yep.

Blimey, this is a trip down memory lane. Although I did prefer Brief until I moved to the 'Z' editor that came with the Zortech compiler.

Yes!

I'd forgotten that one... I still have it on a 286 somewhere or other.

A "Microsoft compatible" compiler for only £79...

Which stretched the meaning of "compatible" just a tad...

testing from phone as minime is hogging my company laptop.

Ctrl-K-Y deleted a block didn't it?

Ctrl-K-B to mark the start, Ctrl-K-K to mark the end, Ctrl-K-Y to delete.

"B" and "K" are the beginning and end of the word "BLOCK", which explains them; and the "Y" stood for "YANK" (as in pull, not as in Merkin).

Yes...

Lurk, verb, to press the <F5> key like a loony.

I couldn't possibly condone such behaviour.

Then stufF ClientCo and go to the matinée.

Toffee popcorn.

Pop.

Nachos with cheese and chillis.

There wasn't a matinée showing on a Friday

What if one of the 3 lights has given up?

The light has another function for which it seems to work. I need to look further into the "two light" issue...
