    Dogs are fine. It's attaching them to a human that creates the issue.

    Also, Angela Scanlan. Such an extremely fake person IMO.

    I like all animals. Apart from earwigs. Why do they even exist? Can't bear them.

    I’ll see your earwigs and raise you cockroaches. The only two creatures that genuinely give me the heebie-jeebies are cockroaches and dead spiders (live spiders are fine).

    Perhaps a better distinction is whether it barks or yaps. The latter are needless.

    Someone at worked described the latter sort of dog as "50% tremble, 50% hate", which I thought summed them up well.

    That said, they are still hugely better than cats.

    Pokemon. And YouTuber's/influencers.

    Just reading a story about Logan [youtuber apparently] who bought some old Pokemon cards for $2 million. If you think footballs gone to ****. Take a look at the world.

    I am very distracted watching "the vanishing at the Cecil Hotel" on Netflix by the abysmal pronunciation of the word Cecil every 10 seconds.

    Almost unwatchable.

    Where my parents used to live there was a set of lights controlling a very narrow lane that led down to the sea. From the mainland side they would only go green if you were close to the white line in front of them. Every single time we went there I had to get out of the car and explain to the person in front that that was how they worked. There was no sign stating this which was the main problem, but yes, I agree with you completely.

    Price of lego these days...

    I make it not a toy for the kids, it's a middle class man's hobby.

    Agreed. It has travelled far from the high ideals of its founder Ole Kirk Christiansen, a man who thought his toys could never be too high quality because they were for children.

    However, avoid the themed Lego or obviously adult targeted products costing three figures and a box of classic Lego is still a great toy. You can also buy it second hand on eBay. Most of my son’s large collection came from buying random mixed lots.

    A Lego basic box of bricks with wheels included is £20. Supermario 3D is £37. I know which will get played with for longer.

    Just playing to their market. Kid's aren't interested in anything that doesn't have a screen these days once they progress from Duplo.
    As a side note, did you know that Lego is the worlds largest manufacturer of tyres.

    I've got lego coming out of my ears here. Lego city stuff, lego trains and railway buildings, lego minecraft, aircraft, hovercraft, boats, cars, camper vans etc etc etc. It's all in a few huge boxes that I've got sitting in a cupboard. Sounds like I should be selling it.

    Family legacy. Hold onto it. Future generations of Diamonds will love it.

    Or sell it to me for £20.

    I did know that about the tyres, nuts isn't it?

    My 8 year old likes lego, he wanted a lego set for when he passed his swimming lessons as a reward we promised, on passing we looked it up and it had more than doubled in price to £110! The matching helicopter he had is now mixed up with the one big box of lego, almost impossible to collate the pieces even if they're all there. He has a creative mind so he makes all sorts out of the big one box, guns, rifles, pistols, rockets, gun rockets and animals in the shape of guns.

    It sells by the weight in mixed brick.

    Mate was in charge of catering at Legoland. He told me some very interesting facts about their ethos.
    • No 'pocket money' snacks/sweets for sale on site.
    • Didn't want any 'pop' sold but 'healthier' juice/low fat milk based sugar free drinks. UK consumers wouldn't buy them and brought in their own cans & bottles of pop and the cost of disposal was 'massive' so "soda" fountains installed (coke did all the installations for free).
    • Developed their own 'make your own pizza' production line (cooked and delivered to cash point by the time you've queued up loading tray with extras/salads etc) but UK consumers 'hygiene' and 'technical awareness' (ie too thick to use it) meant it had to scrapped.
    • All food concessions selling 'healthier food' that was baked with ample fresh fruit / salads failed. Replaced with something and chips.
    • Massive, massive battles behind the scenes battles about the Star Wars deal - many of the Lego people didn't want association with guns and war but as the patent of the brick locking mechanism was coming to an end understood that their future depended on sucking at the teat of mammon.
    • Adult 'scary' roller-coasters very successful but continued complaints of screams from population of Windsor (and presumably local council) caused them to be scrapped.
    • Unbelievably successful (in terms of footfall) and one of the best ride rates for a theme park in Europe with guests averaging 4 (four) rides per visit. Biggest expense leasing land on an ad-hoc basis from "Local Landowner" (Crown Estates) for overspill car parks.

    Due to the catchment age of the average Legoland target, (which I assume is under 10), healthy options are a complete waste of time. Unlimited refills of absolute sh*te drinks used to get my mob "literally" foaming at the mouth. You soon realise you won't win that particular battle and days out to places such as Legoland used to pass much easier if you just put the blinkers on. I'm actually surprised the management ever thought it would work?
