It has to be said that after raising kids you do develop an almost physcotic hate for colour full singing things.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostWas thankfully never subjected to either of those.
I hold a very real and passionate dislike for Peppa, though. Whinging little twat.
;-)
But also to get on topic I am off on holiday which should be nice!

Are you allowed to crash it?Originally posted by v8gaz View PostTFA! This weekend I am taking advantage of my local car dealer. Litle known fact - if you go into a BMW garage and tell them that you are considering changing cars but you are keen on that Tesla you just test drove, they will offer you an i8 for 48 hrs.
So -
Saturday - all day learning how to exit an i8 without looking like a fat clumsy muppet
Sunday - more of the same, but maybe squeezing in an hour or two of driving the fekker.

Thanks for asking!
I am playing an RPG tonight as a player which I have not done for a while
Tomorrow, I have a friend's birthday BBQ and probably something fun in the evening.
Sunday, visiting a friend who have a new baby (unless I am lucky enough to crash the car or something).
Training on Sunday night, so lots of hitting people with swords etc.

On a bad weekend it's six hours of My Little Pony Top Trumps with YGII. She's got a complex card marking system so I never win.

The programs aimed at really little children all grate after a while. I've managed to move the little ones onto things like Adventure Time/Gravity Falls/The Amazing World of Gumball. They're great because you get the sense that the writers and animators were all high when coming up with the concept.Originally posted by MyUserName View PostPaw Patrol is pretty good, Ben and Hollie is too. Peppa is rubbish though, luckily both of mine have gone off it. Mini MUM is firmly into Ben and Hollie and Micro MUN loves Thunderbirds, Transformers and Star Trek.
