I have so few memories of my schooldays. I just can't bear to recall them or so many of the people I was forced to be around.

Ha ha! Loved it - could just imagine the scene! :)) How is it that everyone thinks that no-one else will think of getting there for 7.55 am!

Tim, Weir's boy also now confirmed as Joseph.
Pretty sure he is not at Superkid's school either! Good luck!

Tim, me colleague Andy who thoroughly enjoys your column, has a 6 yr old called Oliver. He has just found out today that Oliver has been picked to play Joseph. Thankfully he is not at Superkid's school.

Hell's bells! You've left me quite blue after that... and we've only got 72 channels of tripe on our electronic babysitter. A-L! I want more, MORE, d'ya hear!

No issues of placings, false starts or whingeing from My Little Monster's sports day. There usually are, but this year in an act of sheer inspiration the school put an American in charge of the Pimm's tent. Bless him (literally), for it was only when he very quickly ran out of the stuff and with long queues forming for seconds or thirds that a kind soul informed him that you are supposed to mix the stuff with lemonade! I have pictures of parents nodding off, while others looked as though they had just stumbled out of Annabel's. All drove home quite gloriously pissed!

I am like you both.I think I've got sex mixed up with sport.

I come first when having sex and last when doing sport.

I too came last. Isn' there always some smart arse dad who is super fit and has been practicing all term to show you up?
I came last over forty years ago and have had to live with the shame ever since. Perhaps that's why my kids disowned me

Oh my days, I havnt laughed so hard in a long time.

'Excuse me? You grew a 12ft willow tree during a one-week half term holiday? What have you been feeding it and why don’t you feed your malnourished child the same diet?'

Brilliant, I am subscribing.
