The Kids Thread

Yeah the actual film Frozen is pretty average. Good tunes is the only reason it's successful.

:tiphat:

I agree with you about Pixar, even though they were bought by the evil empire they still produce great films, but then they started great. My particular ire is for films like Aladdin, Mulan and The Lion King which are all utter rubbish.

The Lion King is a billion times better than Frozen. And I'm not a huge fan of The Lion King.

The film isn't too bad as far as a story for kids goes, but fucking hell...!
The songs!!
Some 15 year old American girl shreiking her tone deaf head off!
Sounds like outtakes from 'America's Got Talent' or some such. Absolutely awful stuff.

So you lambast Frozen for being unorigional, but you rate The Lion King, which is basically a carton version of Hamlet

I said I'm not a huge fan of the Lion King. That's not 'rating' it - it's decidedly average and not particularly enjoyable. I just think it's better than Frozen, which isn't difficult.

What's a liquid container version of Hamlet look like...? :stirthepot: :emot-fuckoff:

Took my daughter to Boingzone in Stourbridge yesterday (a trampoline park) as they do a toddler session 9-10 am on weekends and she absolutely loved it! I'd definitely recommend it (if you can find the energy to do it at 9 in the morning). She's already asking when we can go again. There were some right keeno parents there though showing off their skillz. I wasn't one of them.

I don't think I could bring myself to go to a Boing-zone...

Was going to get Susie a V-Tech Train set for Christmas for €110, then saw a 12 foot Trampoline advertised locally for €60.
Measured up all over the place and it would get in the way of just about everything, so I think we're going to settle for an 8 foot one.
That'll fit in the corner of the front garden nicely. Though I'll have to trim back the hedge and Leylandii first. (No hardship there though.)

I'm thinking of getting my boys some Marbles for christmas, it'll hopefully give them another game to play and argue about!

My recollection of the rules is very sketchy - can anyone remember a simple version of how to play?

Although I seem to remember a shallow dish shaped hole and you used the edge of your 2nd finger to 'strike' your marble towards or into the hole.
Can't remember how you got someone else's marbles though.
I think you were allowed just one 'Big Dobber' which was a large glass marble, which you used to knock several others out of the way.
I think you had a line, behind which you all stood to lob your marbles, which was quite a long way away from the hole.

Bea asked if she could have "Jesus's milk" for bedtime the other night! Bloody nursery brainwashing her!

Granddaughters singing us their songs from their Christmas show on Skype last night, puts all the disagreements with politics and the future of Wolves into perspective.

"Jesus's milk"!? Where are you sending her to nursery??? Thankfully Belle has no concept of God, Jesus or religion yet. She is doing Whoopsy Daisy Angel as her school play but apart from the fact that she's a snowflake she has no idea what the rest of it's about!

Holy shit!

Jesus Christ!
I learnt a really good lesson today!

Never, EVER tell your daughter (son) that your going to do something this afternoon or later.
Never tell them anything unless you're gonna do it NOW!

Took my wife to work this morning because it's a Christmas do and Santa will be there for employee's kids. So Susie will be going back "...to see Mummy AND Santa!"
"Where Mummy?" "Want to see Mummy now" then when the penny dropped and for the 40 minute drive home into the blindingly low strong sunlight I was getting, "Want to see Santa Daddy!"
"He's not there now Susie but he will be this afternoon"
"Please Daddy Please, please, please, please, pleasepleasepleaseplease............"

So to distract her when we got home she watched me putting her swimming cossie away and, "Daddy, want to go swimming Please Daddy Please, please, please, please,"
"OK, we can do that, so we started putting everything together and she's all excited, "Going swimming Daddy?"
"Yes, darling, we are".

So Daddy just checks out the pool which is in a Country Club..... and it's closed till noon because they have aqua arobics on and swimming lessons. So now I'm trying to tell Susie, we aren't going just yet, because it's not open.....
"Please Daddy Please, please, please, please, "Please Daddy Please, please, please, please, pleasepleasepleaseplease............"
Fucking hell.
That'll teach me!
35 minute walk around the golf course with the dog and Susie going, "Swimming Daddy, Swimming??"

No water hazards available?

Not on this golf course Kenny.
But the sea was on the other side of the sand dunes along the edge of the golf course.
And the tide was coming in.....
