    My not so little one has been offered a place at her nearest high school, 5 miles away, and in special measures. The alternatives were 16 miles away and in special measures, or 18 miles away and in special measures. Though there would have been no free transport to either of those.

    It’s quite likely a school in special measures is performing better than an outstanding school that hasn’t been inspected for years.

    Have instigated moving my broadband from the excremental BT(plusnet) provision, to Zen Internet.

    Booked a locksmith for tomorrow as the front door has now reached the point where Mrs Simon can't lock or unlock it at all, so if anyone calls when I'm not around it gives the impression I've got her imprisoned.

    It was actually the surname of one of our accountants. They were typically as boring as most accountants (sorry @Lessred ). Imagine how excited they would have been to be both the future of football, and the source of potential router hardware.

    Troutbeck, turn left, can't miss it, proper wet as fuck.

    Do you want this broken laptop picking up or not?

    Didn't really think this would be a thing. The dilemma is do I send you on a two hour diversion, at the cost of about £400 in petrol, or just pay an extra twenty quid for one delivered?

    We could let talkback decide, but you'd probably end up being called Deliveroo McHermes face by the end of the process.

    I've been called worse. This morning.

    Still don't know where Lymm is and how many polar bears you would like me to drive over.

    In other polar bear news I'm swapping the truck. For another truck.

    I live near Lymm but have no immediate plans to be anywhere near Nottingham in the near future.

    I was in Stoke last week if that's of any help?
