Onnie is generally okay being dropped off and picked up. The intro to nursery was phased in, with the first time being for a few minutes, then an hour, etc. We're pretty dull, so she quite likes going there and playing and being sociable. |

It's horrible, but it's normal.  It does get better, for both sprog and parent. Usually sprog adjusts well before parent. And then you have #2 and you throw them in and run, cackling about uninterrupted pees, snot free clothes and coffee that you can drink while it's still hot!

Mine cried when I dropped them off but I adopted the dump and run approach. Made of stern stuff you see. It doesn't last forever though. They soon get used to it. |

I know I'm probably a bit easily wound up at the moment, but I feel really annoyed that my bag of popcorn has a big graphic banner that says 'MADE FROM CORN' across the front. I've had to eat the whole bag just to get that stupid thing out of sight. |

That's brilliant! You need to ring up the hotline (for there is surely a hotline) and ask them how they can prove the nationality of the water. |

According to the wife, in some book that she read, the crying is some sort of self protection thing. From the times that humans were savages the kids have to show loyalty to you and that you are indispensible to them so that you don't disown them, so the crying when you leave is them pretending they're going to miss you when you're gone, and the crying when you get back is them pretending that they did it throughout, so that you don't question their loyalty. It sort of proves itself as the crying will stop within seconds of you being out of sight. All I know is that it got on my fucking tits. |

LEGO Batman Trilogy is on offer on steam this weekend (60% off), however, it only seems to include LEGO Batman 2 and 3. In fact, the original LEGO Batman doesn't seem to be available on Steam at all! What's going on? Am I being thick? Or is it something about me living in Spain? Edit: 60% off, not 75. There are some other LEGO games at 75% off, though. Edit edit: Oh, I just tried searching directly for Steam LEGO Batman in Google, and when I clicked on the search result from Steam's website I got a error message saying it's not available in my region. Still, weird to be offered a trilogy containing only two games... |

"Operators of the Citroen Nemo, Fiat Fiorino, and Peugeot Bipper are being alerted to the fact their vehicles are subject to lower speed limits on dual carriageways and single-lane A-roads. What Van? is aware of a trio of cases where drivers were stopped by police for doing speeds acceptable for most light vans, but, due to an anomaly in the rules, not these three, which must not exceed 50mph on single-lane roads and 60mph on dual carriageways. The law states that “car-derived vans up to a 2 tonnes max laden weight” can drive at the same speed as cars, but despite having passenger car versions, the Fiat, Citroen and Peugeot vehicles aren’t classified as car-derived vans because they were homologated for sale first as commercial vehicles. " So there. Does this bother me? Not really, although my company van is a Nemo. |

I "accidentally" did that touch pay thing today. I got my card out to pay at McDonalds, fumbled the controller and my card, and as I'm trying to shove my card in the bottom the guy says I've paid. Great stuff. The guy was laughing at me because of the look on my face though. |
