Straw Poll...

I know you know this but it’s amazing what kids pick up on. My wife is a primary school teacher and is always amazed at how much 8-11 year olds understand or at least know of. I imagine there’s a lot of chat about Russia and soon it will be people losing their houses.

On this point, we've got 3 kids (our daughters are 16 and 13) so he's obviously in conversations with us when they're involved too and is aware of things that aren't just relevant to 9 year olds. There's the good, bad and the ugly that goes on in the world, so it all gets absorbed. They're all clever kids (even if I do say it myself), so I know we can't just ignore things and pretend they don't happen, we try to talk through them so at least they know a version of the truth, rather than just the playground chat.

Posh twat

I know but I'm too old to spend 24 hours in economy to go and see my brother and too tight to spend the £9000 I was being quoted for business

They take after their mother then.

And the milkman.

She’s got two degrees, so it’s a fair comment. My eldest daughter just got straight 9s in her GCSEs though, including 239/240 in her maths GCSE and she definitely gets that side of things from me

Either that or the milkman is also a mathematician too

Well done to her (and you). I was at my daughter's high school open day yesterday...they showed the grades kids get etc and it was all numbers. The world's gone mad. Is 9 the highest number? Should be 10 or 11 IMO. Makes as much sense as sticking a star after A.

Thanks and yes a 9 is the highest number. It seems to change a lot so it'll probably be different again in a couple of years, so that it makes even less sense than it does now.

One more and she'll be jug ears' favourite.

Sky are now promoting is as if it is only a problem because it “breaks tradition”

Media love just avoiding the main actual talking points don’t they?!

I was planning to go to New Zealand for most of the tournament to miss it but business class flights got stupidly expensive so I'm now planning a road trip around Scotland for the first few weeks of it.

We hired a Motorhome last summer and spent 2 weeks doing the NC500, had a brilliant time and wished we had done it years ago
