Reading suggestions: 10 year old boy - Alison
http://bohemiancoast.livejournal.com/161041.html
Reading suggestions: 10 year old boy. March 17th, 2011. Hello chaps: this is a sort of semi-regular 'recommend books for my child' post. Background. Daughter is voracious, self-directed reader who works with libraries to find the sort of thing she likes to read. He's currently devouring Little Brother with great enthusiasm. He needs, I think, plenty of plot and strong young characters. Definite bonus points for computers and video games. We have pretty much no luck with classic books for him. Mark Walden...

Boiled Beef and Carrots - Songs of innocence and of experience

Boiled Beef and Carrots - Songs of innocence and of experience. Boiled Beef and Carrots. Sep 6th, 2012 08:32 pm. Yesterday I made boiled beef and carrots, and today we ate it. After she'd finished eating I said to Julia "I suppose you're familiar with the song.". It turns out she's never heard of the song. Imagine my consternation! Imagine the disruption to my world view! Now I'm worried that my friends are similarly poorly exposed to my culture. Hence,. Boiled Beef and Carrots. 2012-09-06 07:53 pm (UTC).

Glorious car in excelsis Deo: imc

Glorious car in excelsis Deo. OK, let's get the advert out of the way first. So last week I was having another look at Autotrader and discovered some cars at Thame Service Station. They wanted to service and valet the car before handing it over, so I paid a deposit and waited for a call on Monday. Monday evening I got an email from the salesman which said, not "I'm happy to tell you your car is ready", but "Im just emailing to see if you have had any further thoughts with regards to the GAP insurance...

Probably the sort of person who hasnt just glued all his fingers together. A Merry Christmas To All Our Readers. You suffer a momentary vision of pedantry. Intel Inside - redux. These dragon mood icons. Internet Explorer strikes again. I've got a blog. What now? A Merry Christmas To All Our Readers. And a Happy New Year! I'm likely to be off-line for the next week, so until I get back, I hope you all have a great time and I'll see you in the new year. You suffer a momentary vision of pedantry. Off my fri...

New year, new model. I am Up North with. Who is having some quality time with his grandparents. His ambition seems to be to go through the shelf of games in the back room and try out each one once, and so far we've played Ratrace. And In One Word. In addition to Game of Life which he's seen before, Fluxx. Which by now is an old favourite, and Escape From Atlantis. Which is one of his Christmas presents from me (after I mentioned to him that I had played it elsewhere and he asked me to look for it on eBay).

And I texted "film" to 241 on my Mum's Orange phone and went to see Megamind. An interesting and funny animated flick with slightly more than the usual amount of philosophy about the nature of good and evil. I turned my phone back on on the way out, and within a couple of minutes was rung by the insurance company. Phone battery was nearly empty and I was chasing SC out into the car park so I said it wasn't convenient at that time. Similar cars to mine on sale at Autotrader at the moment: 1,195. And the i...

Bored of cars yet?: imc
http://imc.livejournal.com/203087.html
Bored of cars yet? I've been in Lancashire for the last week, seeing in the new year with my parents and a brother, and staying until a cousin from the US came for a visit, and other brother with his wife and child appeared also. Sis-in-law asked me what I was thinking of doing about the car, so I said I was thinking of a Corsa. "Oh, they're great cars — I used to drive one.". After a very cold visit to a park (with added animals, which. So today I have been car-hunting. And a Corsa 1.2 Life. Number does...

Super: imc

He has played this game with me twice, and both times got bored and gave up before there was any sign of a conclusion. Which raises the question: is there any guarantee this won't go on forever? So I knocked up a quick computer simulation to find out. And it turns out that the short answer is no (it can go on forever). And the long answer is it depends. And what it depends on is what the winner of each pair of cards does with them. And now for something completely different. Earlier this month YouGov...
