All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So Wiggles are like Teletubbies, but less scary to grown-ups. (I saw the Teletubbies once. It was Uncanny Valley territory for me.)

You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden. The Girl had a traumatic encounter with an electronic singing version of Iggle Piggle, and now screams and runs out of the room if this is on TV. I'm just slightly nervous of the giant inflatable shapes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm sorry, but there is no British children's television show more terrifying than the Tweenies. NONE.

I warned you. Bloody terrifying. How kids can watch that at bedtime is beyond me.

It is pouring rain today so our plan to wander around Newport is out, but it is still nice to be here. We may go to a movie later.
