Max Verstappen did the same, and I suspect a lot of drivers donated anonymously (because of dicks who say things like "JB could afford to give way more than £15k"). |

I'm going on a stag do on Saturday and in the afternoon we were supposed to be going to a local arcade to play games all afternoon. The guy has just text us saying that due to personal reasons, he's shutting the arcade with immediate effect. Arses. |

Try the trampoline air jumpy thing in Wolverhampton instead, or Clockwork Escapes instead? https://air-space.co.uk/locations/wolverhampton/ http://www.clockworkescapes.co.uk/ |

The trampoline thing probably isn't suitable but that escape room might be! In fact, I do believe the Stag mentioned that the other week as something that we should look into one of the days... Good thinking Russ! I shall suggest it! |

I built this site (please, don't look at the code...) and did most of the graphic design. I assisted in the set up the rooms and puzzles, too. The owner is a close mate of mine, and it's an absolutely awesome time - if you go, I hope you enjoy! |

My dad went into hospital yesterday. I don't know if I mentioned it but he's got prostate cancer and that moved into his spine last year. He had an operation to put some metal plates in his spine and correct some things and he's struggled to walk since but on the whole, he's been ok. The past could of weeks though he's been in loads of pain. So much that he can't sleep and it was even making him sick. He went into hospital yesterday to find out what's going on. Between him and my father in law, things are pretty shit at the moment. |

Best wishes to your father and father-in-law, TheVision. Must be a stressful time. My Dad seems largely back to normal now. Still a bit breathless, but he's back driving again and they've been to their caravan in Wales a couple of times, so normal service is resumed. Hopefully next time he has something bad, he won't leave it as long before going to hospital. |

A first world problem, but irritating: Wife bought tickets in November for her, me and her cousin to do the Crystal Maze. Being sensible (?) she paid extra for cancellation protection. She subsequently got pregnant. Crystal Maze specifically forbids pregnant women from taking part. See Tickets say their cancellation protection specifically excludes pregnancy as a reason for cancellation. Result: she can't attend (and neither me nor her cousin want to attend without her, frankly) and can't have a refund. See Tickets are being utter arses about it.

Did I tell you all that my dad is in hospital again? Last September he had an operation on his spine as he had a cancer grow in there. It’s mucked up his walking and took a while to recover but he kept his spirits high. Last week he was having more pain in his lower spine so off to hospital he went, fearing that the same was happening again. Anyway… long story cut short, they’re kept him in and he’s had some sessions of radiotherapy to ease it. I found out last night that they want him to have Chemo starting tomorrow. So yeah, pretty shitty stuff. With my father in law and my dad both quite ill at the moment, I’m surprised I’m not a massive ball of stress! It’s certainly made me think about a few things. |
