That's why he's so in favour of Gideon's benefit cuts for the young. Even more years to wreak the consequences of interminable kitchen disasters and haphazard parenting on his offspring.

"Found this on my hols, what metal do you think it is?"

I haven't, but that's the benefit of a 5-metre commute.

(also, really, just look at a tube map)

"This is GREAT Dad, I can't stop eating it really really quickly thanks Dad bye!"

That's OK, I'll translate it from German no bother.

I'll get you barred.

Couldn't give a shit.

Remember he's only just discovered what those flakey things are, it's no wonder he's keen to use them liberally.

Last resting place of dead hobbies.

We went to Alicante for 4-5 days a few years back and it's not bad at all. Attractive old town, decent food, a bit of cultural stuff there if you want it, a good-sized beach with sunbed/chair hire, plenty of shopping over in the "real" city centre including a big branch of El Corte Inglés, plus a healthy slice of tourist bars/Sky TV/karaoke grot if you do want to dip your toes into that after all. Just don't be concerned by the folks you see on the plane and at the airport - they're probably going to Benidorm......

It's certainly helped shift the holiday weight. (CT, I am not recommending this as a WeightWatchers alternative)

My mood is glorious. Only just recovering from a bastard of a two-week stomach bug, and now I've done my Achilles tendon so I'm hobbling around like a right one. At least the two didn't overlap or I'd basically have had to live in the bathroom.

Sometimes a song can travel...

Swiss don't lie.
