One thing I think we miss, because we live in such a safe and unviolent society, is how for some people violence is the point. Its fun. Its adrenaline. Its imposing yourself on someone. Everyrhing else is cover. And sometimes you dont need cover.

Its why contact sports remain such a big thing

By using *REAL SCIENCE* I can officially say that Britain was in fact, NOT better in the olden days

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries

The result is that we get another round of small, tightly ringfenced pots of money, with civil servants trying to control how local areas spend it

That will survive until the next minister comes along at which point they want their own announcement and the cycle starts again

A spiral staircase in a lovely concrete carpark. Out the top  of the stair you can see the sky, Edinburgh Castle, and the Red Arrows.

Haha! It worked!

I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh?
