Question Time

How can anyone take a politician who wears a tie with pigs on it seriously!   (Nigel Farage - on Question Time)

Elf on the Shelf - Part Two

As a parent of a "post Elf-age" child (ie above 6), I am somewhat bemused by this recent craze.  Whilst it is quite funny, I find it difficult to comprehend how parents have the time or energy to constantly come up with ever more creative poses and scenarios for a moronic-faced plastic doll.  Work colleagues of mine who work more hours than I do invent daily mishaps caused by their small friend for their children to discover.  I've heard about elves in fire engines extinguishing fakes fires to stolen cornflakes.  Whatever next?!!!

Elf on the Shelf???

What is it with the Elf on a/the shelf?  It seems to be everywhere.  Am I being a cynic but is it not a bit too much.  Too much overstimulation for children.  Just saying....
