While our oldest girl is on camp I am cleaning - no that’s the wrong word - razing her bedroom to the ground. I’ve found all sorts of things in the unmitigated chaos like a porthole to the lost world of Atlantis and the Holy Grail (those Knights Templars knew no one would find it […]

BigSquib: Our P.R.S teacher said blah blah blah… on Thursday I’ve got a S.A.E test… rhubarb rhubarb… but that’s OK because I’ve got a double E.R period and I can do some study then… talk talk talk… At the M.S.A the other day they were saying what we’d have to do for the I.B and […]

On another subject, would it […]

I know some people connect clinkers with something unappetising in the anal sense but here in Australia a clinker is in fact an item of confectionery.

Dear Editor
Why is it that every weekend we can hear the tantalising tune of Greensleeves and yet no Mr Whippy van materialises as expected? LittleSquib and BigSquib stand eagerly on the pavement scanning our empty street for a glimpse of pink ice-cream-vanness. After they have stood there for 6 hours I call them in and […]
