Yes, I'm dreading the teenage years, particularly with a girl. When we found out the sex, I stepped out of the clinic to a hot summer's day, and suddenly had a whole new perspective on all the young women walking around in those nude-coloured lycra hotpants that go right up the bum, which suddenly seemed to be everywhere I looked...
I resolved to try and instill a devout admiration for Wednesday Addams and her dress sense in my daughter.

Son’s or Nun’s has been my goal for kids.

@Matt Anywhere around Cheltenham town centre when the temperature is touching 35-40 degrees Celsius will do you just fine. (Don't ask me to translate that to your nonsensical Fahrenheit scale.)
Parking can be a bugger in Cheltenham, you might have to check a few locations to find a space, but there are plenty of options.
I'd lose the beard - they're somewhat loosely associated with what we British like to call a "nonce".

@EdH and yeah I remember having a moment like that when I found out we were expecting a daughter with our first. Admittedly a way off from teenage years so might be jinxing it, but she’s into skater/baggy clothes and I genuinely hope (or deluded myself into thinking) that this will continue for the foreseeable.

@jerkules said in Random Rants:
UK prison slang/acronym for “Not on normal courtyard exercise”. Or so I’ve heard, might be BS.
My dad is a retired prison officer, served 35 years. I've asked him about this and he reckons it's bullshit, but in my head cannon it'll always be true, just too good an acronym...

@T4920 I can imagine the call: “dad, what’s a nonce?”
