Never got the presents though! Me and my siblings asked for this frog piano from the Argos catalogue every year for about a decade but gave up.
Told my kids about it, they really wanted one. Bought a broken one off ebay and fixed it, it's in my youngest daughter's room right now #ChristmasMiracle

Saw Radiohead live in Glasgow, epic gig (Hail To The Thief album)
I DIDN'T see this show on account of Kurt Cobain unhelpfully topping himself.

There's a really good (albeit a bit inaccurate) Google Maps .kml file of UK geology out there somewhere but I can't seem to find a link to it. It's been very useful on my many fossil hunting escapades. I can host the file somewhere if you're interested.
