Doesn't your 20s class as "spring chickens"? 

29 is definitely at the upper end of the age bracket for a boy band/girl band just starting out. 

For a bit of context John Lennon was 29 when the Beatles recorded their last album and Paul Weller was 24 when he split The Jam.

Our local foodbank (In Yorkshire) has had to stop taking donations as we have nowhere else to store them! This means that our local community, many having to make a decision between eating or heating, will be both warm and full this Christmas which is great news.

Please donate where possible, many will go hungry this Christmas and just imagine being out on the streets on a night like last night, absolutely freezing...

If its someone else's it means someone else to contribute towards child maintenance and babysitting so I think it's a win win

Congrats to all the Bb family. 

And bonus, you can buy a joint Xmas/ birthday present every year so you've just saved a fortune. 😀

Thanks. Virtually all the extended family have birthdays around Christmas so the 2 for 1 combo has been strongly rejected for years now. Cost a flipping fortune before baby arrives. Now...

Congratulations 👌

As a bloke, it's probably one of the most surreal moments of your life. Your Mrs is in agony, screaming in pain, there is nothing you can do about it and the nurses/midwives are calm as hell, just casually chatting about the latest developments in Corrie.

I'm about 32 weeks behind you, you can be my canary down the mine. If things get rough for you I've got 7 months to fake my death and move to South America

This is a very accurate summary of the process.

This canary is finding a lot of gas. I would recommend setting your alarm to go off every three hours constantly and then spend the next hour after each alarm feeding and cleaning something that wriggles and fights you all the way (perhaps use a cat to practice?) At least twice in a 24 hour period you need to do some laundry, and it generally helps if you can make sure your clothes have something smelly (perhaps use the remnants of dinner?) smeared on them. 

I'm fairly confident that if you follow this training regime you will be ready or have the passport and fake accident prepared in time.

It’s a piece of cake.

Brilliant scenes from London today celebrating Queens Platinum Jubilee, historic.

I’m in Portugal for a wedding, so missing all the scenes back home.

Prince Andrew couldn’t have timed that Covid better, could he? Mad how that happened….

He's isolating in one of the dungeons.😂😂

They seriously expected to believe guff like that though.

Ended up on Castle Hill last night for the lighting of the beacon, similar scenes across UK.

Lee Mack's joke about partygate outside the Palace provided the best moment of the weekend

That and the booing of Johnson outside St Paul's showing he's now finished in politics

The rest was sycophantic bilge

It hasn't  been such a bad Jubilee after all
