We put two of our four in the same box last week for their jabs. Wouldn't do it with the other two, but these are twin sisters.

My two favourite boat names, both on British narrowboats...
On a very rusty old boat, Ferric the Red.
On one with a large bar built into the stern-deck, Cirrhosis of the River.

That and lifting 30kg plasterboard sheets overhead. Not that I do, you understand, I usually get our son to do that bit while I fumble the screws and drop them all so he has to stand there for longer. Or so he claims.

Nearly twenty years ago we went to Edinburgh Museum, which at the time had decade-themed rooms, one of which (50s, I think) had white pyrex cookware with red roses on. We both said "Oooh, we had them!" The first instance of seeing something we grew up with in a museum. As the years have passed, we've had it happen a lot more often.
Best place for it is the Land of Lost Content http://www.lolc.org.uk/ which collects the sort of things that don't get kept in museums. You can lose yourself for a whole day just remembering things. It's not far from us - must go again.

At least we in Europe still get proper borosilicate glassware. Pyrex brand in the US is no longer proper heat-resistant glass, as a number of customers have found out to their cost. It's toughened - but not properly heat-resisting in the way it used to be, and the way the european brand is.

I use YYY/MM/DD on all the computers and phones in the house, but I can't persuade anyone (including myself) to write it that way. Writing by hand...almost universally DD/MM/YY in the UK.

Ah yes - a BBC video that I can't watch in the UK. Don't you wonder about how silly people are? They must know we can work round it if we care...

It'd be interesting to see a control done with the same kid just after they'd washed their hands. And then again after they'd washed them properly, which in my experience no eight year old does...or can.

No - I can't say it out loud. It'll have to be a link.
