So there’s a few sites to get you going. I’ve no connection or experience with any of these sites, so mind how you go – ie always be careful giving out personal details to unknown places , both on and off line.
if you do go to anything good, let me know how you get on !

are you smarter than a 10 year old?

we got VIP tickets to see the making of “are you smarter than a 10 year old” yesterday at Elstree studios. it was 5 hours locked in a hot studio, but all good fun.

i hadn’t realised how important elstree studios are. see here for a list of films and TV stuff they do – things like the star wars trilogy, 2001 space odyssey, indian jones and various james bonds (not to mention monty python’s the meaning of life). It’s also home to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and the Tweenies !
noel edmonds (mr tidy beard himself) was the host and he was excellent. read more about it here

i wonder if the telephone box is looking after the fridge during the summer holidays, and it’s had to take it to work due to child care issues ?
