I remember playing football in the park with my 5 y.o. and making sure I let him win. A few days later I heard him telling his friends in the school playground, 'You should see my mum playing football - she's RUBBISH.'

I once cut my hair myself when left alone with garden shears (I was 5). Was hauled off to the local hairdresser to have it dealt with. My mother told me I looked like a turnip.

Had one of our best evenings ever there - at the opera, the night in 2006 that Italy won the world cup! The cheering outside got so loud the whole cast just came on stage and sang the National anthem as the lights swept over the arena in red, white and green. Fabulous.

I usually switch off the minute Farage gets air time, but this was really worth listening to. The sheer naked, weasely loathsomeness. You could tell her wanted to punch the reporter. Astonishing, though, that 'is he a racist' is even a debate.

I was once at a lunch with the actual Ena Baxter (although she was very far away on the other side of a big table, but still).
