    It's a bit risky doing half of that as a kid on your own these days, the chances of getting shot, stabbed, raped and/or kidnapped are far higher now too

    It's true though that e-mail but a lot of it can be double-edged. As a kid we used to play football on the school fields from sunrise to sunset all the way through summer without any issues. Now the same school has a 8 foot fence around it to keep people out. This is because the windows now get smashed all the time by mindless thugs who have nothing better to do and also to protect the children from unwanted attention.

    Re: congrats to the oldies

    Oldies may be getting all the congratulations around here but there are young people who deserve a huge slap on the back too. Take these two chaps for example; they did the tarmac on my drive for only £8000 and they even offered to collect my pension for me if I loaned them my car. I mean, have you ever known such kindness? I'll be giving them a pound each for pocketmoney when they come back. Just look at those chirpy, cheeky little faces. It's heartwarming isn't it?

    Re: congrats to the oldies

    You can see where the tarmac has gone - they've been eating it
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
