When I get older, losing my hair.....

Two years into the Sky Blue Revolution.

The fact that this thread has 83 pages and I can't be bothered to scroll through it all to see if my annoyance has already been covered.

It's classic Darwinism. It simply means access to more females and therefore more offspring and therefore more genes in the next generation. It makes sense to kill off the unrelated progeny in order to reset the female's fertility and of course, destroy rival genes. This in turn means larger...

It's family but they are all very competitive - kids in their 30s. Used to love Risk probably a bit politically incorrect these days as I seem to remember it was about conquering foreign lands and building empires. Don't know Catan - will give it a look. Also Capt Dart's selection look...

Game of Life looks good - never played it, will make a change from Cluedo. Expensive to buy new but there always seem plenty of these old games in charity shops.

A bit late but trying a bit of a retro Xmas with the family. Can't stand the tedium of Monopoly or role playing games - any good uns without too much complexity?

The Engine - sneaked in at lunchtimes from Foxford for darts and a pint. We were in our school uniforms!

Yep advertising is such bullshit especially fashion and perfume - 'you can be unique'. Yeah just like everyone else...... Car adverts are all such cliches that I haven't the foggiest idea of the make.

Wales have had presumed consent for a couple of years or so but the stats are too small to draw any conclusions.

My daughter's partner has constructed his own rig in my unused dining room. It's using about a kilowatt an hour but he reckons he's easily paying the electricity - (he will benefit from my solar panels in the summer). That room was always the coldest in the house but it's toasty 24/7 now. He's...

Makes you wonder whether the author of The Hunger Games was an ex-scout!

Gang show at the Coventry Theatre I seem to remember. Another game we played entailed the hall being strewn with chairs and benches some forming a wall to wall barrier. Each person then had a timed run to retrieve a bunch of keys from the opposite end of the hall. This was done in complete...

Yes you're right Johnny, was trying to retrace my steps from my old house. Amazed that it's still there. It had quite a large field to the rear where we used to do band practice. Definite lookup on my nostalgia trip.

You think you own your own body but you're not allowed to get help to kill it off in this country. Remember suicide is telling god, 'you can't fire me, I quit'

I actually wished I had learned some good knots as I'm pretty crap at tying things on the roof rack etc. Would like to know that lorry driver's knot that self tightens but can be released with a quick pull. Always resort to those ratchet straps - seem a bit overkill sometimes. Did the HMS...

Checked out the link and must say I do approve of the woodentop folk as it seems an eco-aware kind of outfit.

Did you do a lot of stick whittling?
