    The choice for TV watching was netball in English, or rugby in French. Having seen 10 minutes of the former, I switched to the latter. Some of the players in both sports are similar in height, but the men seem to have spent more time on the weights.

    The netball players have a darker 5 o'clock shadow.

    I could have watched table tennis or inter-city petanque, and that is without going to Canal+. Spoilt for choice if you live here. :emoticon-0108-speec

    Let me help you out because you really for some time now having been struggling with this one in our debate;

    At least 105 mothers and fathers faced criminal investigations for leaving their offspring unsupervised in the final three months of 2016.

    Under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, parents in England and Wales can be prosecuted for wilful neglect if they leave a child unsupervised "in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health".

    The law does not give details of what amounts to wilful neglect, unnecessary suffering or injury to health - but punishment can range from a fine to 10 years imprisonment.

    A similar law applies to Scotland under an act passed in 1937.

    I'm sure you will find some way in still arguing your major oversight, but l think most would agree a 3 year child has come to some sort of unnecessary suffering or ill health of some kind, I will stop short of death because to date their is no factual evidence to support that.

    And there I rest my case for the prosecution of the parents that not only neglected their child but also resulted in it's disappearance, even if they had no part to play in that child's disappearance - to that I recommend the maximum sentence of 10 years :)

    Just back from the dentist, fuming!

    The practice which I've attended every 6 months over the last 6 years has been acquired by new owners. They charged me £73 for and inspection and an x-ray and presented me with an estimate for treatment (two largish fillings) amounting to a further £450...£189 and £197 for the fillings. Is this how things are going to be in the future? I can see even people on the lower end of average earnings having to decide whether they can afford dental treatment. There are no dentists close to us accepting NHS patients.

    Unfortunately yes, a sign of things to come methinks. That's just one of the reasons I'll be voting for Independence again in #indyref2 - the thought of Scotland's NHS being slowly dismantled as England's has been id frightening. :(

    Things are back to normal for the U23's - losing 0-5 at Ipswich.

    And that's only the HT score... <yikes>
