Mumsnet, I am indeed being reasonable to ask if your babies yet to be exposed to cricket at Lords, or rowing on the Thames, formally or informally. By the time they are 5, it may be too late!

Sounds like a baby Boris Johnson.

How many more threads are we going to have on this? It was funny last week but now getting boring

SideshowItchy · 27/10/2025 12:48

There's been at least 2 possibly more threads on this.

Pretty boring now. And no, it wasnt clear what the thread was about, so, yes, I would have scrolled past if id known.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 27/10/2025 12:49

consummateprofessionalavailable35hoursperweek · 27/10/2025 12:52

I was not here last week. Apologies, but just scroll on if you already saw this. No drama.

B*er Cricket and Rowing.

Take them on paddle steamer trips.

My dad took me on the Bristol Queen so I must have been 2-3 at the time and I was hooked.

They sound like nightmare human beings, in any context.

I'm rereading the Hannibal Lecter books at the moment (the bit where Hannibal is a museum curator in Florence), and all the stuff about cultural fluency and quintessential gentlemen made me picture him as the perfect tutor for this family.

I didn't know my former stepmother had had more kids.

Yeah this. ^ You're a week late with your 'hilarity' @consummateprofessionalavailable35hoursperweek I have seen at least 2 threads this past week on here about this.
