    A top article about your child losing their favourite toy – a position we now find ourselves in. Good advice herein (my favourite being along the lines of buying 3 or 4 backups when you realise your child has a favourite toy that they take with them everywhere).

    The snow actually left sooner than predicted – most of it had gone by the end of Wednesday. There’s still some around on westward facing slopes and hills, but not a lot. There are no signs of the threatened second dump on Friday either, and the mild weather is moving in this weekend. I’m hoping…

    This is a great study published in Hormones & Behaviour: when looking for a mate, women are more likely to go for deep, gravelly voiced men like Barry White. But we all new Barry White was the man, right? Deep, masculine, dominant voices have long been thought linked to high levels of testosterone, higher reproductive…

    I’d be tempted if it wasn’t £65… This gizmo sits there, hooked into your WiFi network. He (she?) will do weird things like waggle his ears, flash different colours, talk to you or play you music. The really fun thing, however, is that your friends can send the rabbit SMS messages or emails and take…

    Now this is my kind of a pointless gadget. A kettle that you can switch on by texting it “switch on” from your mobile phone. Completely pointless, and I want one. This kettle was inspired by Wallace and Gromit, and developed by Orange and PG Tips. It would go nicely with my red-nosed-when-hot Gromit mugs.

    It’s probably the most famous game Cheltenham Town will ever play, round 4 of the 2005-6 FA Cup against giants Newcastle United. It’s great to read on the BBC Sport page, “Souness wary of Cheltenham”, but not quite as nice to be regarded as “a potential banana skin”. But hey, it’s true. It should be…
