I'm off to Edinburgh on Sunday morning with the missus and some mates.
That's 'mates' as in irl friends and not a jumbo consignment of condoms.

No need to clarify.
We've all seen your face, and thus know you would have no need of condoms unless you were planning some kind of water-bomb prank.

BTW I now have Lighty's 'convert tapes to MP3' thing and thus my ability to produce the promised material now exists. Now all I need to do is actually do it. After finding the tape. I think I may also have some rare Sisters stuff such as their version of Jolene etc if you don't have it. Bad recordings though.

Oh, marvellous.
I did have a bootleg tape of a Sisters gig with that and Gimme Gimme Gimme on but I think it's fucked now. The quality was extremely poor.

I'm guessing that legal proceedings to change this aren't really within your budget, so how about planting the idea in your daughter's head and let her work on her mother?

Sucks to be you eh?
But seriously, don't underestimate pester-power, if your daughter has the idea in her head to stay with you she should be able to influence her mother.
It won't be easy, as it would unfair to slag off your ex to her, but if she knows how much you would love to have her stay with you and would do anything to make it happen then she will soon try to get her own way.

The Creeper was in Scooby Doo, went around just saying his own name..
..like Station in Bill & Ted and the kid in the wheelchair in South Park. I watched an episode of Scooby Doo this morning. Scooby made this big pile of sandwiches that flew through the air and as he went chasing after them he accidentally went hang gliding. I was disappointed he forgot all about the flying sandwiches and concentrated on landing the hang glider. It seemed so out of character.

This weekend my better half may be going to Blackpool with her sisters so the kids will want to sleep downstairs and watch films all night. I cleared the shed out last weekend so I'll probably be doing a tip run on Sunday. It's a shame the tip doesn't have a reward card scheme.
