Oh it is! Glad you think so too. DD wanted to walk to the station to top up her Oyster card. I agreed on the condition that we come straight back so I don't miss anything. She thinks I'm mad!

I was gutted for him when it got postponed the other day, we were all sat watching round the computer waiting and then nothing!
I am glad the commentator is explaining how they are going to open the door etc. with the pressure change, I was wondering...........
My family are all watching a film and want calling when it gets to the good bit
