I'm all for affirmative action for twins. My twin ended up marrying a triplet, which just feels like one-upmanship.

I didn't know you were also a twin!

Does the two child limit still apply when twins/multiples are part of the family? I'm the third child and the younger twin. I know full well my parents didn't intend to have three children.

Is Ben Curry injured? Pollock must be youngest player and so gets to look after Bil, which will no doubt prove amusing

Remember this day so vividly. A&L stand under construction and the crane hoisted a "Champions" sign up at the end of the game. Later, on my dad's shoulders in a packed bar the trophy came in with the players and was passed to me to lift up to cheers from the room. Special memories for a 9 year old!

My son turned 4 on 28th March 2020. I remember day by day having to cancel everything planned as rules changed. The day before I told him that anything he suggested for his birthday that was legal was going to happen. I walked across Hammersmith Bridge in a ball gown holding balloons for him.

Colleague once facilitated a workshop where they played "Two truths and a lie" as the ice breaker. Someone wrote "I've been to prison" on their paper. It wasn't their lie. Somewhat derailed the rest of the agenda.

It was a convoluted process to report and when I clicked submit I was then issued with a warning that my account was likely to be blocked for too much activity. But, sure, they're really keen stop under 16s using their platforms. (2/2)

Young Voices? My son is there on Thursday. I accidentally made sure I had a timetable clash which meant I unfortunately can't go but my husband was serendipitously available. I feel vindicated in my diary management.

Not as insane as Liz Truss's advice on how to cook roast potatoes. Which does beg the question if we ought to have some sort of food preferences filter for elected officials as it seems a solid predictor on fitness for office.

I really hope Nauru and Kiribati results nights are also hosted by Graham Norton

My son, aged about 3 or 4, was once allowed to press the ACTUAL BUTTON on the back of the lorry that picked the wheelie bins up. He still talks about it as one of his greatest days and he's 8 now. Bin men are heroes.

But he specifically wanted the voting intentions by chocolate preference. Do you have those splits...?

This is excellent. Mainly because when I shared yesterday's Christmas film poll with my 8 year old and he wanted to know if there was similar data on Celebrations and Heroes. I have successfully created a mini pollster.

Perhaps...genuinely considering suggesting this as a possible dissertation topic for further study 😆

Why does the Lib Dem vote collapse amongst fans of A Christmas Carol, especially compared to its vote share for A Muppets Christmas Carol?
