First off, my heart goes out to all of those in London who have been affected by the bombings. I never understand that, if you have a problem stand up and say so and fight for it if you feel you have to. But fight face to face, this causing terror is bullshit, there is enough to worry about in this world without people puttings bombs all over the place.
What is it with LEGO these days? I remember growing up and playing with LEGO all the time and what you got was a whole bunch of different sized blocks of varying colour. That way you could build anything you wanted. Now you get kits that have instructions of what to build, how to build it and then once it's done that's it. What ever happened to imagination, I guess they just feel the faster the kids can build something, the faster they can get back to TV so they can see the next toy to bug their parents to buy that will be used for 15 minutes and then spend the rest of it's life on the shelf.
I had the kids in the shop today and they are like puppies that talk, all they did was follow me around and ask questions, it was a blast.
