Ha - best title for a thread in the family room ever????


OK - so my 4 year old has this Beauty and the Beast Playset - sort of Polly Pocket sized, with a prince who 'transforms into a beast' by putting a different head & body over the top of him.


The problem is that 1 of the princes legs has broken off and the other day she said "I don't want to have a 1 legged prince Mummy" which made my heart ache.


So I thought, here is a good thing for Santa to put in her stocking & went on Ebay and thought I was so clever to manage to buy a second hand set of the same toy, with a new prince in it. Except in my rush I didn't read the description properly...and the new prince only has 1 arm. ARRGGGHHHH.


I am a Mummy failure. It's official.


It seems you can only buy these playsets new in America, and P&P is insane from there.


I don't suppose anyone, magically has one of these Princes hanging around that they no longer want? Ideally one with

all his limbs intact? It's a long shot...but hey, I'm a desperate woman. Don't we all want a Prince?


She did tell me the other day that one day she was going to marry a beast. I do hope not!


Yours, desperately.

OK - at the risk of making the prince into some sort of Frankenstein; is limb transplanation an option? I don't have a clue what these toys are but if you have one missing an arm and one missing a leg could you do some minor surgery thus creating a whole one?

I have PMed you another possible solution.

Oh no. Love the frankenstein response, had thought of that too! Hs disney store stopped selling them?


We have a hideous plastic barbie horse that had a long mane and tail, got totally knotted, was a ball of sticky fibres, so back in the summer I gave it a haircut. 4yo daughter wept and wailed. The other week she found it in the back of a cupboard (had hidden it as was fed up with the complaints and sad eyes) and got upset again.


Had taken the line that we don't chuck stuff out just cos it's not perfect anymore, but caved in and ordered a new horse for xmas.


The new one has arrived and turns out has no bloody hair! It has plastic moulding smooth mane and solid tail. She will not be at all impressed!

      Your post is confusing. You say I’ve used ‘public shame and ostracism’ that just doesn’t make sense to me.  Maybe southwark should have a similar poster thanks for referring to it.

      Council "weed" removal

      The shots are mainly of Melford Road and the rubric suggests that the street cleaner bags on 'Thursdays'. The general rubbish collection is on Tuesdays. If the bags haven't been collected on Friday, but have been left for general disruption over the weekend then the bin men will see simply a rubbish strewn road with this rubbish not in any bin. They don't have time to street clean themselves so will not collect it. I reiterate that the crews I see for general rubbish collection, the 'bin men' are careful and considerate in their collections from bins, some of which are indeed very full, to overflowing. They don't collect bagged rubbish left on the street away from bins, nor have they the time or are tasked to clean the streets of scattered rubbish.

      Very decent of you. I accept and apologise to Penguin so as to keep "community relations" friendly.

      I have been thinking about using an AI to cross-reference comments; between public commenting platforms along with the news of the day, for past events (that needed to be "dealt with" for narrative management), future events which need to be "shaped" or "nudged" to move the public in a particular direction (narrative control) and what it is that forms the "community". I think it is happening on a large number of comment forums. I can already see a pattern with a number of single-issue commenters (that have the nerve to accuse others of being "obsessed" or of being a member of certain political parties) that make feeble attempts to comment on other subjects but really have only one obsession. They are obvious. But I also want to see the patterns of enforcers and Igor / Renfield types.
