            @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".

            Take the dive...

                I’ve been called many things over the years but I think nonce is a new one. I’ll just go ahead and assume it means gentleman.

                            @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.

                              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...

                                I called my bin a nonce the other day, for being full.

                                Us Brits definitely use that term with reckless abandonment...

                                  @jerkules that's the sort of thing if you told me convincingly enough I would definitely have believed!

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

                                      Uh, my favourite ever UHF just showed up on eBay for a steal... I've told myself no more shirts this year... An unnecessary purchase, especially coming into spring...
