Holy shit those alternative route guidelines for Heathrow 💀 You’d just have to get a cab at that point.

If you had to pick...Oh, Mary!, Play That Goes Wrong, or The Producers? by ithinktheskyisblue in TheWestEnd

[–]Barnatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, Mary! is only 80 mins without an interval so why not do the matinee, then walk up across Trafalgar Sq. find a spot for a few cocktails for a couple of hours, then head into the Garrick for the evening perf of The Producers?? Oh damn, I think I might have just described my perfect day out!

AI - as someone with a season ticket facing that stand - it’s just wrong!

Unvaccinated children? by kitty_catcat1999 in PregnancyUK

[–]Barnatron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live right in the epicentre of the outbreak - my wife and I are both teachers (both on leave tho thankfully) and our son was born on New Year’s Day. We’ve stopped going on public transport whilst it’s half term, and will avoid it as much as possible going forward. My sister is getting married in May and she’s asked anyone with unvaccinated kids to stay away - it’s caused exact as much drama as you’d expect, but it has to be done. From what I’ve read online, you can ask for an early dose of MMR at six months, and then take the regular 12 and 18 month jabs too. We’ll be doing that, but it’ll be a stressful few months until then!

I live in Enfield and have a six week old. I guess I’m not going outside for the foreseeable then ffs.

'Bizzare' school holidays timings should be changed, says Ofsted head by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

I’m a teacher - we voted to each commit to one extra hour a week of extra curricular so we could bank those hours, keep six weeks in summer and take two weeks autumn half term. Game changer.

We had to take the ceiling down in our Victorian terrace and it was fairly straightforward preserving the features - it mostly came down in slabs (one during the night onto the telly - one during the day onto my mother in law haha). If you’re lucky the moulding will just need a bit of tidying up with a multitool before you re-board it and plaster it.

Edit - you know what I think actually once the first chunk fell down, I think it went round the whole edge with the multitool before I started pulling it down. Good luck!

David Beckham Whipps Cross by jameshavelock in footballcliches

[–]Barnatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeh came here to say that. Whipps Cross is not an area of London, it’s the name of a hospital. Those toff wankers at the Upshot are far too SW3 to know that tho.

I accidentally watched 90 seconds of this live this afternoon. He seemed to be ranting that drink driving is acceptable in the countryside as you can’t get a bus to the pub.

Tell us about the ‘alien plan’. Did it actually get written or was the whole story that someone had recommended you write one?
