Kids quite happy with their swag:

Cobi seems to be one of the few decent quality Lego knock offs,with the added bonus of them making massive tank kits.

More specific?

Although come to think of it, I'm not sure they actually are

No, they're not. The photo is a prototype British tank destroyer not a kv2.... doh

I'm at the Academy in Birmingham to see Patent Pending and there's a good chance we are the oldest people in the audience that haven't just come to escort their children.

Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

One of my favourite musicians at the moment is a chap called Declan McKenna. Seen him live a number of times and what you're experiencing is always true for me and my friends!

I think in the end we spotted half a dozen older people but it was a close thing.
I still had a bit of a bounce down the front.

Decided yesterday to check my water meter to see if it tallies with the sinister megaglobal utility corporation's estimate. Removed the brick and the lid only to find it's submerged in about a foot of muddy groundwater. I'm either going to have to spend an hour bailing it out or invest in an endoscope.

Are you researching firstborn's costume for 'what do I want be when I grow up' day at the nursery?

"Doctor Princess", apparently, or "Mermaid Ballerina".

Only if she finds another Mermaid Ballerina.

Tom Hardy 'arrests fleeing motorbike thief' in London.

Quote:

'A spokeswoman for the 39-year-old actor, who has also starred in films including The Dark Knight Rises, The Revenant, Inception and Legend, declined to comment.'

I don't think she quit understands what her role as a 'spokeswoman' involves.

Finally read it (we use IE 11 at work and Vice, like most other websites, just crashes it). Interesting piece. Reminds me that it's usually better not to think how the tasty burger got from the field to the plate.

Indeed it does. "Good evening grapple fans!" sounds much better.

a little bit sad that Rob Newman is using a circa 20 year old photo of himself for his new radio 4 series, and his Twitter account....

We need to ask her if Malicool is sports. I think I know the answer.

Also bicycle racing. Definitely not sports.

I'm sure it mentions it in that article but there was a Kickstarter for this a year ago and it came no where near being funded. It does make me wonder what appetite there is for the game... Saying that, I'll be buying it.

Make sure you download the Night trap theme tune in the mean time!

One of you is considerably bigger and more obnoxious than the other so this isn't working out as might be expected.

EDIT That was supposed to be "obvious" but I like the typo and it can stay
