Oh my...I considered this name for my eldest, purely because I really love Russ Tamblyn in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. My husband talked me out of it but I promise I'm not a twat. I just really love Tamblyn in that role!

I knew someone (aquantaince I'd see in a pub/club) called Gideon. I'm still not entirely sure it was his real name rather than something pretentious acquired for goth purposes. He was not a particularly pleasant individual; quite lecherous.

I’ve never done the Boxing Day dip here. People are in fancy dress for some reason. It’s brilliant to watch but I’ve never been tempted to run into a grey choppy cold sea I wonder if Mumsnetters think traditions like this are middle class or chavvy?

I swim most days , I also do the north east skinny dip - tres chav

Would I just google train museum Wales? I only know of the one in York and didn’t think to google others.

I don't think there is a train museum in Wales There are lots of steam railways though. I am relatively near the Welsh Highland Railway.

At a risk of sounding like a mnetter for which I apologise in advance but @50degreesnorth is there any way you could reconcile with him?
Hope your 'pus'sy is better soon.

There was a thread a couple of years ago posted by a woman who had married a man, his mum was dead, his father was old and developing more and more ailments, he also had a sister who lived in a house with a huge garden. The elderly father and sister came to an arrangement where he would sell his house and pay for a house/cabin to be built in the sisters garden and he would live there and then he’d have the sister there for company/care, she would then have the mini house in her garden when he died to add value to her property. The posting woman was very upset that her and her husbands inheritance was being spent to increase the value of the sisters house. She didn’t want the father to live with her or provide care though. So she basically wanted him to live alone and suffer until she died so she could get half the value of his house!

IIRC the OP was worried that the sister was trying to bounce the father into selling up giving her the cash and then moving him into a glorified shed in her garden. It sounded well dodgy.
