What's the worst thing you have made your kids do?

Funny or Evil?


Maybe it's the lack of maternal instinct (or the child inside me that refuses to grow up) but I find this absolutely hilarious.





Now clearly there is prompting from her mother here, which I think is the best part. And it got me thinking...



Have you ever made your kids do evil/funny/naughty things? That you know as a "proper grown-up" you shouldn't really, but you found it funny. (And obviously, I'm not talking the realms of child abuse here - although some may think this sketch is).


Or did your parents ever do something to you that was mortifyingly embarrassing?

That's genius WMTG.



It was the snow yesterday that made me think about this subject, and brought back some mememories. I have always hated the snow, I don't know why. I hate the way it sounds, that squeaky runchy sound like someone taking off woolly gloves with their teeth. So I avoid the snow at all costs. It was only recently that my mum told me that in the winter of 1982/3 I was nearly 2 and it snowed a lot. So they bundled me up in jacket and coat, made me a snowman and trust me outside and onto the snow. Typically kiddy reaction: I freaked out and cried, and cried and cried... Normal parent reaction: Pick up said crying kid and take her inside.


My parents reaction: head in side, leave me outside, lock door, go and get camera.


We had one of those glass panelled back doors and they have pohotos of me standing rooted to the spot in fear, face all scrunched up under my hood. Then photos of my scratching at the door to get in, while they carry on taking pictures!



Scared for life, I tell thee!

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
