That's a nice thing, I like the idea of reading with my girls when they're a bit older, and have certain books from my childhood which I want to read with them (Vera Pratt and the Bishop's false teeth is high on the list). But the wife seems to have taken monopoly on reading time.

Daddy Pig is awesome. "You must become one with the puddle". I also like Miss Rabbit (not to be confused with mummy rabbit) and Mr Bull. Although fortunately we're now mostly over the whole Peppa phase with both kids.


Most of the time if I watch something I loved as a kid I find it's aged badly or just isn't very good.


Princess Bride is still as good and brilliant as it ever was. If it wasn't for the opening scene where Fred Savage is playing a baseball video game on an old 8 bit system (NES?), the film would be truly timeless.

Paddington?


In my day it was Mary Plain. Also a bear, if memory serves.


Since having it read to me (and the rest of the class) aged seven by the wicked (in the old sense) Mrs Edge, I have no desire ever to hear any Mary Plain ever again :(


Or At The Back of the North bloody Wind.


Hmmm. I've just googled Mary Plain.


"Mary Plain and her bear family feature in the stories, but the main characters are Mary and her human friend, the Owl Man. (The name refers to his spectacles.) He is kind and indulgent to Mary. He often takes her on outings."


Is that a euphemism?

      I-watch found

      By Yan52 · Posted

      I was sitting on the park bench yesterday opposite north Dulwich station and found an Apple Watch hanging off the corner. I have brought it home and charged it hoping that someone might use ‘find my’ to locate it. Equally happy to be contacted this way to return it to the rightful lender / they just need to say what colour/kind of strap it has. If you can think of a better way to return it / find its owner then please advise. And/or feel free to share on other local fora.

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Precisely DR it’s entirely understandable to conclude one is so disillusioned by Labour for Tories, it must be time for someone else  That  is an entirely reasonable position But if the next step is to then transfer your vote to a party full of charlatans, snake oil salespeople and racists? Then  you stop being reasonable and start being thick and/or racist i understood why Tories took power in 2010. I feared it was an error but I wasn’t castigating people who voted for them tories (then, not now) and Labour are hamstrung not by civil service or EU but by a weird media and a weird voting system in an age of social media.  The answers don’t seem to be coming from them yet but voting reform will only damage the country internationally and internally  the Tories may yet regain power but are currently led by a madwoman, with a madman positioning himself to take over. Will take years for them to sort themselves out labour are making errors all over the shop but are at least in the ballpark of sane governanc.  In no way should this give them a free pass but in 2025 there genuinely isn’t anyone better  (and current polling for reform is meaningless - in any general election be it 4 years or 4 months their lack of accountability and standards will become all too clear)

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      > Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? Or a rather thick old trunk, covered in leaf growth?  Look at the damage caused to the end and right hand railings.  NewWave, any chance  of loading your neighbour's photo here?   Or anyone else with some good focused photos, from various viewpoints if possible?
