Watching Splash, Richard Whitehead the paralymipan getting the sympathy votes from judges and home. His dives aren't even that good.

Exactly he got a better score for the exact same dive he did last week then a good score for the same dive backwards!

Soft play centres in general of course, but particularly ones that (a) don't enforce the 'under 4s only' rule in the baby and toddler section, resulting in giant eight year olds marauding everywhere and (b) despite coining it in with their overpriced hot drinks don't bother to fix the toilets - asking a three year old to sit on a toilet with no seat is a big ask

My left hand getting clumsier and clumsier. I used to be able to type like the wind as well....:sad: Getting old is pants.

Soft play centres that serve alcohol.

Why?

Cold monsoon winds from China. Monday before last 26C. Today 6 to a max 10. Housing here is not insulated with no concept of central heating and no warm air until the weekend. Forecasting here is at least one thing that is incredibly accurate.

When my daughter was young we also had a few mishaps in the soft play centres. Like you say, it was normally older out of control kids in the younger area. Knocking kids over and throwing the soft but heavy furniture onto the smaller kids. When you approach their parents it's normally the wrong angry reaction I found, not a sorry and I'll stop him doing it again, but my boy wouldn't do that, or it must have been an accident, or why don't you f-off, or don't bring your daughter here then. I nearly had a bit of father rage once as well.
And yes, they tend to spend the money on them at first, and then hope everything last's for years. So toilets and other things can get very bad.

You know there's just one soft play place up here in MK and it's almost £20 for one kid & two parents.

If someone opened a new one and charged say £8 per kid with parents free, they would take all their custom, plus attract lots of new families. With the right food, snacks and drinks, youd'e clean up.

I know mate. I had half a mind to look into it myself. Huge gap in the market up here.

I would like a soft play centre that serves healthy food at kids parties and has a blanket ban on kids with skinheads wearing West Ham tops.

Walking down to pick the wife up from work and getting caught in a hail storm. I am now soaked trying to warm up in the car and it's not getting warmer!

Don't make sense. Why would you walk to pick her up? Can't she walk on her own? Why didn't you take the car in the first place.
Answers please Ricey.
