    What to do on holiday

    when you've run out of all the sensible games you know and you are on holiday with your sister, her husband, your 13 year old (and friend)..... and you don't want to seem like an old fart.... and you are the most relaxed one in the party.

    No pervy responses please.

    Don't you just hate caveats!

      Break out the drinking games. The kids have got to learn sometime...

        Teach them how to skin-up. It's an essential skill if they have any designs on going to uni.

        Plus, it will help you stay relaxed.

          See how many spoons you can balance on your face. On a recent holiday, one child (with particularly sweaty/chubby face) managed 9. We all decided not to bother with dessert after that.

              Don't be afraid to let them get bored. I read an article saying kids are spoonfed constant entertainment and always need more. Grab a book, let them get bored and they will come up with something to do - we always did !

                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
