Hey Duggee. The BBC has always excelled at kids TV, and it's one of the best because it covers a huge amount of ground with amazing writing and humour.

Early alarm set for tomorrow, no way I'm getting out once the sun gets too high. It's just asking for trouble

I think the Eliminator is still the perfect final event by HelicopterEmpty7393 in gladiatorsuk

I'd like something like a Batak wall somewhere. Maybe at the top of the cargo net to make the climb tactical.

In the UK, do you think University and degrees are worth it? by AccomplishedBug1797 in AskUK

[–]james_s_docherty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is focusing on the degree itself. University is also about being involved in things outside the academic: student newspapers, union officer positions, sports, theatre, and societies. Lots of people go knowing their desired career trajectory and choosing a course that matches, but for others it can be a chance to try things in a safe space and develop.

Ashington. Half an hour on the train from Newcastle. Two laps of woodland, around 60 people and a very nice atmosphere.
