The iced-fuckit challenge?

I’m lucky enough to live about three miles from Edward Jenner’s former home (which is now a museum) so our kids get lots of opportunities to visit and hear about the ways in which vaccines work - can’t remember the last time someone got Smallpox (actually I can, it was 1949 in the US and 1977 in Somalia and there were…

I think there’s serious danger in being proud of anything you have no control over; it means you think there is something special about an accident of birth. Be proud about the accomplishments of your citizens, the progressive actions of your government, but don’t mistake these as the actions of a geographical…

I’ve stationed the dog at the door for the imminent arrival of my pre-ordered Yoshi game. She has instructions to bring it to me the moment it comes through the door. I’m pretty confident it won’t be half finished.

Despite all the moaning below, I think it looks pretty cool. Hope it’s watchable somewhere in the UK. It will be a family day out (maybe younger daughter can strap into her 3DMG suit...).

Is the WiiU getting a Splatoon boost?

I played a game this lunchtime (lost, natch), but all of my teammates got 0 points (I got 600-and-something). What’s that about?

“If you watch this video without my consent...” I’m not watching it, but is it possible to watch this without her consent? Doesn’t the act of posting in a public forum say: I give you permission to watch? Maybe I just don’t get it.

What’s most amazing is that all this press coverage is probably seen as a positive for Brand Duggar. I’m not sure what any of this says about American culture, but I’m sure it ain’t good.

I have two teenage children (and one older). They actually do talk about things, but then we make the effort to talk to them honestly and with respect. If you’re having trouble at school, home is where you can turn to for support and the right kind of attention. When your place of safety also turns against you, it can…

You should ask for an ankle tag that flashes pretty colours when you get within 500 yards of her. Two birds, etc.

Me, I think. Mid-40s. Like games. I play Mario Kart 8 far more than Forza or Gran Turismo and play SuperMario 3D World more than GTA5. I just like fun.

“I’m not the best player out there, and having a team I can rely on is great. I really like that. But it’s kind of a personal thing. I’d rather not get into it.”

My Moto G has a torch on the slideout screen.

Jesus. This review was longer than the film.

Does no one read The Twits anymore? It tells you in horrific detail (with Quentin Blake pictures!) of what you can expect to find in your face pubes.

While I wish ckernan2 two all the best in his married life, I’m not sure - after 9 months - that he’s qualified to offer advice on how to have a happy, long marriage. I’ve been married for almost 20 and I’m not quite ready to offer tips to others...

It’s easier to get a cameltoe through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.

Braveheart is a dreadful film though.

And his anti-vaxxer beliefs.
