Never heard that term before Dan but I like it!

That’s the great thing about having a son. More often than not anything you buy them you can play with as well

Not a bad idea. dot lucas. Has a nice ring to it. I better prepare to get @mneylon to lobby for it on my behalf.

Get him his own TLD then.

He already has his own server Dan. Sun Netra T1 no less. He has a laptop too. An elderly 1.2Ghz Celeron Toshiba jobby.

u can get him something that makes loud noises and runs on petrol..

Or else a server. He will be the coolest kid in playskool if he has his own server

Good suggestion Aaron but he’s too small for the normal lego and the Duplo stuff is bloody expensive for just a box of bricks.

We still have half a ton of the stuff in the attic that belongs to my brother and myself. Loads of Meccano too.

I think i might pop up there later and take it down to ahem! Test

Lego. Hours of fun…until you step on/swallow them.

The hell with rules.

Hornby 00 gauge is yer only man.

I knew I forgot something on the list!

I wanted to buy him a model train set since before he was born but it’s verboten.

He has a cheap plastic one with a circular track which he seems to enjoy but he always points out the Hornby ones in the Toymaster catalogue.
