The infamous DC-2½, when CNAC bolted a DC-2 wing to a DC-3. The right wing of a DC-3 was destroyed by a Japanese bomb, and the only available plane for spares was a DC-2.

While there are many risks, trampolining is also loads of fun. One of the issues seems to be with the inherent risks in the design, e.g. exposed springs, lack of safety net.

For newborn to 3 months, get button-up (double-breasted) onesies instead of slip-over-head onesies.

You wouldn’t find anything like those breadsticks in Italy either.

Installed a whitelist app a couple of years ago and it is brilliant. Went from 3-4 spam calls a day to maybe one a month.

If you ever have the opportunity to fly on Emirates, Qatar, Singapore Airlines or a number of others, I think you will find that First Class is very much “concierge service”. Business on same carriers is also quite delightful.

Do you know how to extinguish a grease fire? Please respond quickly...

Just answer the questions honestly. There’s no need to elaborate or get all detailed, but your kids will remember if you withheld the truth...

As a non-American who has lived in the US for many years, the shock-horror-fascination that most American parents seem to have with their children and sex is baffling to me.

It’s not about sexualising kids. It’s about teaching them about their bodies.

Children typically travel as “unaccompanied minors” at no extra charge.

That’s only because more people travel on the average airliner than in the average car.
