Oh, it's clearly not going to send them under or anything like that, but it's still bad for a company to have to come up with millions in refunds that will have already been at least earmarked to be spent elsewhere.

They're just been saying on the telly that their insurance might cover it anyway.

The tickets are quite snazzy. :)

The more people that send them back, the more the ones that keep them will be worth in the future.

At least £50 million, if it was sold out every night, for 50 nights.

There's 1,000,000 potential tickets, I don't think that's an exclusive club.

I waited until 9pm to transplant my 6 "I don't know what they are" plants from their trough into the ground. Then, I found the chilli plants that I'd been planning to grow up the fence on an awesome trellis structure had been put in the greenhousetypething and left. So I've put them in a trough and am trying hard to revive them, but I'm not hopeful. I planted some mint in the other trough to see if it will come up.

Next door neighbour works for the people who plant the parks. The other day, he knocked on the door and gave us 6 of them. And 5 other things as they were "Left over from Kidlington's beds". Which was nice of him.

You should go to Clarks. Clarkes make good, comfortable lightweight shoes. You should always buy he best for your feet - you'll be needing them for yeas to come. God shoes are an investment - no point buying six pairs for £13 each rather than the one par for £40 that will last you longer than those six pairs combined.

This has been a public service broadcast.

If your shoes aren't lasting very long, and you're having to buy stopgaps, try walking straight to this decent shoe shop instead of heading back home from M&S to tell us about it!

Let's just imagine the scenario. Lets imagine it's hot, you are laying down because you are a tad poorly, and as such you have no clothes on. Now, let's imagine that you have a fridge magnet that happens to be broken. Now, you think, 'I'm bored, I'll fix this fridge magnet with some of that new fangled superglue stuff'.

So, what you do is coat the back of the magnet, also the design bit, wait a few seconds before going to press them together, but at the crucial moment you drop the magnet part somewhere. You feel it hit your tummy, then bounce off somewhere, so you glance to each side and it isn't there, despite the fact that you expect it to be glued to the bed. but, oh, what's this... It's now stuck to your belly.

So tempted to see if I can stick my tum to the fridge...

(in reality I have now pulled it back off and have a 1" round mark where it used to be.)

I might stick it back on so I never forget my keys.

I still have superglue residue - I shall try nail varnish remover, though that means all of my nail varnish will come off and I painted them this morning :(

Well you don't have to bathe in it. Put some on some cotton wool or something and try and keep it off your nails. Got any rubber gloves? Does acetone attack rubber gloves?

Is it slightly worrying that the first thing I thought of after reading this is that you'd be like one of the awesome Scalextric cars with magnets on their bellies to stay on the track?
