    Ewwww!!

    Everyone in the family used to treat my wife's Grandmother like royalty!!! They all used to have massive respect for her... Understandably!

    In a deep Jamaican accent, she used to say to me: "Boy, take my bag".... One always took it!

    Bit off topic to what you've all been talking about, but is anyone here looking at getting the game Destiny on Tuesday? And has anyone played the Beta, thoughts if so?

    But Britain is an ageing population, ergo ethically you should have more than two!

    That's due to medicine, really. So having more kids will contribute more to that problem, in the long term.

    Twins are cool, for a while. Best job I ever had was looking after my girls when they were 2-5yrs old.
    At 15yrs old it's bit of a mixed bag.
    Always remember the first (very late due to "lost" records) scan. There's the head, and F**king hell there's another head. The nurse doing the scan assumed we knew it was twins, I spent an amazing 3 mins thinking I had a two headed baby.

    Nope. Just replace yourself, so that's two maximum. One or none preferably, if you want to enjoy life experiences other than bringing up children. The demographic would eventually iron itself out and the age groups would be fairly evenly spread. In the Western World, it means waiting for the baby boomers to kick the bucket and maybe their offspring. At this moment, in countries like Germany, Italy, etc... the birthrate is so low that the populations would be falling if they depended upon birthrate alone to keep the population up.

    Yes, a few age groups would take a hit in their living standards while the aging population is catered for, but to not control the population is disaster. Besides, an aging population provides employment. It's regrettable, but it's certainly better for the planet too, whch means it's better for humans.

    You need at least three because if one gets injured, one can go and get help while the other stays with the injured one. Can't deny that logic

    On another note, brilliant use of Taylor Swift in a Sky News advert advertising their coverage of the Scottish Independence Referendum <laugh>

    Only Bond films I've ever seen all the way through have been Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough!

    Nishikori becomes the first Japanese man to reach the final of a grand slam after beating Novak Djokovic in 4 sets. Cool.

    Yeah, I'm far too manly for that kinda business. I definitely wasn't watching the Aristocats today at my ex-housemates house...

    Barely seen Snow White, maybe I'm missing out. I'm more of a Robin Hood kinda man.
