We still have a few spaces left for boys going into year 6 this September. Sessions take place this Weds in Covent garden. Start times depend on which games the boys own/play.

We are looking for confident boys who are doing 'very well' at school

?25 Toys r us vouchers plus ?25 cash for chaperone. Kids small discussion group 75min max

Please contact me for more details/to complete a short screener

Thanks! Sara

> Why is it aimed at just boys anyway?


I don't think it's too controversial to suggest that boys and girls tend to prefer different types of games... is it? Girls don't tend to be so interested in shooting/fighting/spaceship type games, do they?

Boys failing at School + Gaming. Ask any teacher off the record their view


Both my boys (10 & 13) are aware/dismissive of "the gamers" who fall into this sub group


Researchers need to find ones who aren't in that group poss and are "doing well" (good luck)


If you're an adult gamer, this not designed as a swipe at you, but it's an issue of sorts in School

its maddening when people delete their posts seconds after posting!!! (waves to Woody)


what did you say Loz?!


Jeremy, no its not controversial at all to suggest that boys & girls prefer different types of games. There was nothing to suggest that the gaming research mentioned was of the shoot-em-up kind tho. I just don't like it when its assumed that things are 'for girls' or 'for boys'. I am not really into computer games these days but I quite liked space invaders back in the 80s or whenever they were invented!

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
