  1. One side effect (for me) is that the wife is no longer on implants or the injection. Now she has periods. Now me and the kids hide under our beds one week in four, terrified.
  2. Guardian League Tables are out! http://www.theguardian.com/education/ng-interactive/2015/may/25/university-league-tables-2016 Listed below are Scottish Universities and their place on the UK list - these lists are overall. If you're looking for a specific subject, the Guardian guide can do that as well. St Andrews (3) Heriot Watt (18) Edinburgh (20) Glasgow (24) Strathclyde (33) Dundee (38) Aberdeen (41) Robert Gordon (46) Napier (64) Stirling (65) Queen Margaret (76) Glasgow Caledonian (89) Abertay (93) West of Scotland (115) Highlands and Islands (not classified)
  3. We are indeed now deviating rapidly from the books, and that is no bad thing. The last book was a real turkey, extremely long with hee haw happening. If anything the TV show has improved on many of the stories.
  4. My little baby boy turned 10 today. Not so little now - just over 5 feet tall.
  5. We're approaching the summer doldrums on TV. All the good shows end and the summer is a wasteland of soaps, Big Brother, old movies and Teen Mom. No thank you, sir. I have a Band of Brothers box set that has been calling to me for about 9 months. Haven't watched it in a few years and am getting the itch.

    Mad Men

    What's the spoiler policy here, guys?? I was shown on UK TV before I posted it. It's not like I downloaded it the day before and put it up. Or is there a period of time after the showing on UK TV we should wait?
  7. My little one just turned 5. It's like someone gave her a personality transplant on her birthday. She just won't stop talking. She's being really quite funny (and cheeky) and all her shyness just evaporated.

    Mad Men

    The ending was ambiguous (not unlike The Sopranos, I guess). The big question: Did Don find inner peace and happiness, or did he take that back to McCann to come up with the idea for the Coke advert?
  9. If you are still considering uni for this year, get in touch and as if there are places open. I know the UCAS deadline passed, but this deadline is actually a bit of a myth designed to force people to actually apply. You might not have missed the boat.
  10. Many more adverts for Game of War in the US starring Kate Upton...
  11. Bobby Saw it on Netflix. Big name cast. Heather Graham in a bra. ALl round not bad, but wouldn't pay to see it.
  12. My little one has the chicken pox (as does half the school and nursery). She hasn't got it too bad, though. Last night she got her first wobbly tooth, and is feeling really sorry for herself.
  13. These ultrasonic things are useless. This morning saw another mouse darting across my kitchen floor. If I wasn't barefoot at the time I would have stomped it. Our neighbour, after Christmas, threw his tree in to his front garden for a few weeks, then transferred it to the boot of one of his (three) cars. Now? It's still there, all brown. Car hasn't turned a wheel in months. Really grating on me now.
  14. We have a persistent mouse problem in our kitchen. Cats patrol our back garden looking for them. Came home from work the other day and just about shat myself when one darted out from under my fridge. I have poisoned and trapped for months but to no avail. I've bought those ultrasonic things and hope they work. Why this thread? My neighbours treat their garden like a bin. Piled high with black bags, half of which have ripped open. My wife saw a mouse in their garden the other day. Utter minks. Aside from reporting them to the council, not sure what I can do. I miss the bedridden old woman who was there before these folk.
  15. Our little one has a future in Kung Fu. She was in bed with us last night and caught the wife a lovely chop across the throat when she was asleep
  16. Utterly tremendous. Think back to an early episode, with Chuck telling Jimmy that Hamlin wanted Jimmy to stop using the name McGill...now we know the truth. Chuck has held up Jimmy's career for years, and Hamlin was just taking the flak. my favourite show of the year. Chicago sunroof And this:
  17. Yep, the old blow torch will leave a few scars on him I suspect. And in banshee, that usually means revenge.
  18. Excellent finale, but we've gone something like half the season with zero boobage! Roll on January.
  19. It was another very good episode, but very heavy on Chuck and the "will-he-crack" tension. Actually reminded me of an episode of Boston Legal, when William Shatner's character took a drug that gave him his mind back (briefly) and you got to see him at his peak. What will happen to Chuck now?
  20. You don't get injected in the baws. The doc rubs the tubes just above your baws between his thumb and index finger to separate them, then injects there. Like I said, that was the worst part. Like getting a filling, it's the anaesthetic injection that's the worst.
  21. My own post from almost exactly a year ago: http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php/topic/100051-pregnancy-and-parenting/page-244
