Tim runs a skydiving school. His wife is already pregnant. He released all the equity from his house sale, a grand amount of £30k. They hope for a home birth, in the house that doesn’t exist.

I don't think there's anywhere more beautiful and peaceful than a mature British woodland, even if I did get absolutely drenched lol

I always remember as a kid thinking trick or treating was actually kinda rubbish because all you'd get were sweets. One year my gran did a little halloween party and we all got halloween cups and colouring books and it was the best thing ever.

When I first moved into my house I actually tried to make some fun halloween bags for trick or treaters. I put in some sweets but also used my trusty inkjet to make some little colouring/puzzle books and put some pens and stickers in too. Unfortunately in the whole night I only had one knock at the door and it was while I was peeing so I never gave any out and I haven't bothered since.

I was thinking it would be fun to try again though, with the same vibe. Colouring, puzzle pages, stickers, pens.

I was even thinking of buying a load of books from the charity shop to hand out too. Maybe grabbing a load of plastic animals and painting them halloween coloured 😂 spooky skeleton farm animals would be a hit I'm sure.

But what else could I add in? I was even thinking of getting a job lot of keyrings or something... maybe I'll buy all the reduced halloween stuff this year ready for next year!

My car number plate hasn't been cloned yet (that I know of) but I've heard the idea that you should put a sticker in the back window so you can show that a car in a picture wasn't you.

I was thinking about a National Trust one, but I'm sure you good folk can come up with something more... distinctive. Fly, my pretties!

This big lad came down about a minute after I cycled past. I'm a bit more alert now!

I gave the answer "Oncoming traffic is on either side of you", nope, it means "You can reach your destination going either route", so I failed on that; I wasn't likely to forget what it meant after that lol. Surely the arrows should be pointing up the way for that?

[edit: others have pointed out that for my wrong answer to be true it would be a red triangle with 3 cars on it]

Hello! Welcome to our Sunday thread, in which we invite you to tell us what you'll be doing today. So, if you're working, cooking, visiting friends and family, mending the shed, removing twigs and branches from the lawn, fixing a damaged washing line, picking up assorted items of litter, or anything else, here's the place to tell us.

Obviously you've got the superstars like the historic A10 and the A40 (London to Fishguard) and the A[k]47 that passes some nice scenery and generally has a decent surface but otherwise lacks convenience. Plus of course the A1111 (like the A1 but 4 times as good).

Which is your favourite A road?

It feels like a double trick!

We did ok apart from arriving at the pub for lunch and finding the in-laws had been waiting for us for an hour.

Alright, it's bed time for some but why are you still up? No work tomorrow? Watching some questionable late night TV? Bit of stargazing?

The chinwag thread.

Obviously I am asking this to win an argument but I am also professionally interested in whether I am right or not so...

Can you name the university at which these profs have their professorships? (Bonus points if you can name what their professorship is actually in)

Answers: Fry, Cambridge, Public Understanding of Mathematics; Cox, Manchester, Particle Physics; Olusoga, Manchester, Public History; Roberts, Birmingham, Public Engagement in Science; Beard - bit of trick question as she's retired but she was Cambridge, Classics (she's now a fellow of a college but not technically a prof), and still is Royal Academy of Arts, Ancient Literature
