You'll find Oxford in thrall to a powerful wizard. You'll have to defeat the three guardians to stop his magical enchantment.

The one you got is cool too, though. She's now just about big enough to wear it. I will take a photo of her in it soon.

I find myself unable to lol. The Girl has got to 7 and still believes in santa and the tooth fairy damn it and it's taken a lot of effort to keep her childhood intact, if another parent ruined it all for my kid I would wait till theirs is 5 and give them a tshirt saying "santa does not exist, it's your parents, reading is fun"

They usually find out from other children, or they find you out. And they don't care really, they get to age where they begin to see you don't know everything and that you can't fool them. They see it as a victory, not something to get upset about, especially once they try realise they'll still get toys and even more so when you can't use the "Santa can't make [stupidly expensive/crap thing] at the North Pole" excuse for anything.

Youngest boy had been told by his brother and his friends at school that Santa wasn't real and he asked me about it, I asked him what he believed, as that was what mattered. He continued to think he was real but thought about it for a few days on and off, then came to the conclusion that if Santa was real, he wouldn't be on the list of good boys and girls, yet somehow he still got awesome presents....Sussed.

SNS is a far-right Slovak nationalist political party. I'd imagine they want a game developing.

It's a typo. You know what these agencies are like. It should read

It's a less entertaining version of Nintendo's 16-bit console.

It's the entry price that puts me off. And the fact when I went there in 2001, it wasn't grown very well.

I loved it. The Meditteranian (sp) bubble was crappy, but the rain forest was awesome.

Why Hutch? The man is trying to run you off the road and you are to the side of him, why did you not just hit the brakes, jump out and climb down the bank where the other car could not go?

Off to meet some old scientist colleagues later tonight. Can't say I'm much looking forward to it, especially as it is at the top of the hill in Oxford. Still, I've ensured I've got my smartest suit and shirt stuff on.

Oh no! Turns out that all those Triceratops are actually babies

It was discovered in 2010 that the adult form is Torosaurus, we don't have to call them that though because Triceratops were named first. :'(
