We added:
-arguing parent/child
- overly keen tour guide

We got all of them apart from “Kid in a suit”. Can only assume the private sector started earlier in the day than is rocking up at midday.

That could have been me!

A guy came round a corner wearing a The Beatles T-shirt & daughter & I both freaked out, which I suspect he found a little unnerving.

They can’t crawl backwards you know. I found one that had gone down a piece of slate and reached an area of toxic glue residue it didn’t fancy crossing. It was rearing up in revulsion, and completely stuck.

It is a magnificent question. Our train journey may not be long enough to reach a conclusion.

Daughter currently musing about whether there’s a different size threshold to ask for Fire Service…

With daughter on our way to Liverpool university open day, planning to play Observer Book of Open days to tick off - suggestions please:
- kid in a suit
- dryrobe mum
- resentful sibling in forced attendance
- Beatles T-shirt
- crying parent
- crying candidate
- doppelgängers of ourselves

Was the “How big would a slug have to be for you to call the police?” one of yours @watsoncomedian.bsky.social? On the train with daughter, and she is pushing for an answer…I am undecided.

Your workshop shows your impeccable safety instincts - awesome extraction.

Post more guitar pics btw.

Never going to be a safe working environment with explosives, but just seems deranged to have one big building. Yay for health & safety regs.

Tennessee explosion is weird. When I worked in a pyro factory, each process on the section was in a different building, no more than two people in each building. Two rooms per building, nobody ever in the same room a process was running, blast wall between rooms, soil berm between buildings.
After & before imagest of explosives factory is Tennessee.

Posting them in that order does rather look like you’ve slavishly removed the paint and then semi-dismantled the models…

Did we overlap? I remember going to pick up bundles of TSB from Ian’s flat in Holborn Towers on match days and then getting Parkways down to Elland Road. Probably 94-96. Never really had time to socialise, just picked up boxes and float and got going.

Hmmm. I appreciated the dark source material by going to the school that inspired it.

8 years old, my previous experience was a “normal” village school. Lunchtime on the first day at new school genuinely involved spear-wielding kids battling for control of an island.

Waiting for your account of the silent dark figure at the back of the group that doesn’t seem to be there any more when you usher everyone else to the next location…

Anyone that’s had extended hospital stays knows what a difference to your day it makes if the good taker is on duty (rather than the one that seems to be using a blunt spoon)

Totally against the spirit of Irn Bru to be adding ingredients that are recognisable foodstuffs; should just be seasonal additive codes.

Seems unusual not to have some Scotland connection with Leeds. The closest I can come up with is Mctominay scored against us a few years ago - anything more relevant?

There’s an old a short story called “The Goalkeeper’s Revenge” about a kid that spends years to get his own back on the striker that wronged him, including buying his club in order to sell him. It’s mentioned in The Damned United’s notes.

Maybe Ratcliffe’s plan has always been to destroy Man U?
