I think the classic answers are likely to be Bluee and Duggee, with maybe a special shout-out to an old classic like Ballamory. However, for my money I don’t think you can top the masterpiece that Is…...
Grace’s Amazing Machines (music by The Darkness, and machines)
All tied, for different reasons.
Honorable mention to Numberblocks, which I can’t stand, but has my about-to-start-schooler telling me number sentences when he should be going to sleep, A+.
Yesterday (Thursday) I spent the day shifting stuff out of the garage (about to be knocked down) into a self store. The room we’ve got there is up some steps.
After a long day, I dropped a heavy thing on my foot. Felt like a fool, and also in amazing pain. Took my sock off there sat on/in the car boot to have a look (gross is all I’ll say). That’s all my race training postponed for a week at least (supposed to be Triathloning).
Then had to hulk the rest of the stuff up the stairs and finish up, because it was just me! Luckily that was the last car load.
Learned my lesson, next time I’m bringing a friend. And possibly steel capped boots.
I love asking UK, especially English, people this question; the answers vary wildly. Once had a Londoner describe the north as “anywhere north of the M25”....
Seems odd that if you win by 0.001% that’s treated the same as if you win by 50%. “You barely won, here’s the same mandate as someone who won soundly”...
Short sightedness in politics is already painful for all of us.
Nobody’s tackling climate change, nobody’s building anything fairer for younger generations, especially in places without enough housing (and what there is owned by older generations).
I won’t list all the problems this would make worse, but for example, do you really want a government with only 6 months to do 2-3 extreme populist things, hoping to dredge up enough support to get a larger mandate next time?
We heard on the radio today about a somebody who’s named their dogs after rock stars. We’ve been at it too. We had Lzzy and Slash in aquarium and now we have dogs called Myles (Kennedy) and Ronnie (James Dio). How do you name your pets?
Apparently drinking iced coffee in this heat, makes me not British. At least according to the old man at the local café, as I walked out with my drink. So what is a British drink on hot days?...
I’ve been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone’s presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.
There are quite a few communities I’d love to see migrate, and I’ll be posting a few messages if I see a non-spammy chance. I won’t be randomly commenting on all posts though, that’s a way to get banned.
Of the communities with no equivalent here yet, some are just continuing with posts as normal (so I could post), while others have been dark since the protest, so no way to ping them.
Dad's. What's the best Ceebies program?

Thursday complaints
It’s Thursday, one of the worst days of the week. Not yet the weekend, but we’re already tired....
What do you consider to be "The North"?

What if the length of a term was proportional to the amount you won by in the election?

Is it normal to not say hello or good morning to your colleagues when you come into the office?
