For a moment I thought he had a hitherto-undisclosed butterfly tattoo, then I realised it was part of the strap on his bag.

At first, I thought this post related to the Pampers photo.

According to the Oxford Mail and some press release they've printed, the most average place in Britain is....

Didcot.

Might write a short travelogue of my Northern Irish excursion at some point but thought I'd share this moment with you, which told me a lot about the place.

When I was in Belfast the other week, a first floor lounge in the youth hostel overlooked a clubhouse for Glasgow Ranger fans. I was looking out of the window at the street scene and watched a uniformed bandsman walk out of that building. Two kids in the street saw him, dashed across the road, deliberately bumped into him from both sides, and ran off down a sidestreet with his hat.

I have recently discovered Pinterest. I have wasted hours on looking at model things on there.

Taking the kids to London for the first time for part of the Easter hols (Apr 10th-13th).

Are there any things we should definitely do - aside from the obvious museums / touristy stuff - that you guys would recommend?

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Imperial war museum and HMS Belfast. There's a nice walk along from HMS Belfast towards London Bridge that has Hayes Galleria as a stop for lunch.

NHM obvs, but I won't insult you by suggesting it wasn't already on your list.

There's a moomin exhibition at the southbank that I'm off to this weekend, will report back on what that's like, but it looks good.

Story Centre in Stratford is also great, though I've never been during the school holidays. And it's in Stratford, which has little else to recommend it.

If your kids like knights in shining armour, Wallace Collection is awesome, and normally fairly quiet.

Climbing the 300-odd steps of the Monument might be a fun challenge for the kids.

As curious as I am after the earlier twitter exchange, I don't think either of them would appreciate it :DD

That reads so much like something to catch a random roaming Mimi that I was not sure it was true until i clicked it - Russ if she's not seen it you'll want to make sure she knows its on

I have made her aware and it looks like we'll be going soon, thank you!

Gaz, maybe we should go to Pitt Cue?

Jem · **Posted:** Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:57

Thanks for all the suggestions btw guys. Making a list so that we can fill our days with stuff the kids will inevitably moan about anyway

If you think you can persuade the kids to eat that stuff then sure

Jem · **Posted:** Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:05

I am sure they would do the kids some chips.

Do they like mash...?

Jem · **Posted:** Thu Mar 30, 2017 11:09

Depends what day of the week it is. :shrug:

TBH it's probably easier if we just go there the weekend after when we're in London on our own.

I'm about to buy a ticket to see House of Pain because apparently it's the 90s again.

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Mar 31, 2017 10:02

I should go to that, as I suspect I know twice as many House of Pain songs as most other people.

I didn't know they'd reformed. Is it all the originals or has DJ Lethal been replaced?

Their music with DJ Muggs will always be the best stuff they ever put out, not least because Muggs sound at the time was outstanding; like an early RZA.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Mar 31, 2017 10:16

Is there anything more brain time consuming than buying and selling a house?

Apart from Pokemon Go! I mean.

It's taken over now from being an idea for the future to signing a contract with an agency. Good thing though is that they said to put ours up at a figure £10k more than what we'd expect at most.
