@theiaincameron "because it's downhill" is the simple answer.

Recently had fun making this Pink and White chess set. It's for a wonderful ex-student of mine who has a chess mad partner.
If you're going to learn to play chess, you should learn in style!

@InternetH0F Dude would eat four of them before breakfast.

@SandyofCthulhu @FredFroge Dude. It was awesome. There is only AoE2 and C&C Red Alert 2 that have any of my video gaming heart after 35 years of play.

@TheFootballFeed Come on guys, I can have all the brilliant ideas on my own. Pitch in.

[Andrew Sanders @shortandsmiley]

@TheFootballFeed Dude just let them wear oxygen masks till right before kickoff and then rip them off shouting "surprise, mother fudgers" and beat them 3-0.

[Andrew Sanders @shortandsmiley]

@Scienceofsport At the risk of asking a silly question could you not give them oxygen masks to 10 seconds before kickoff and then at rehydration breaks and half time?

Then you're only contending with 22 minutes spells of low oxygen?

Or is that just dumb for some reason?

@Snafu_999 @GMIgorSmirnov I do it all the time and it is the best fun ever.

@meianoveoficial @MadLadN It's all I play as black on 1 minute games and I love it.

You can see White trying to process it like "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?"

@CasperOnChain Sounds a pretty miserable way to live, tbh.

[Andrew Sanders @shortandsmiley]

@ESPNUK Pretty sure Arsenal are going to Spurs it up.

@TheAthleticFC @footballontnt As a former goalkeeper myself I always take the goalkeeper's side on things more than most.
But really, the keeper's position here isn't great and he needs to slide and swing a boot at it. It is like he gets caught in two minds about actually trying to play it.

@ManaByte Ha. You believe in an 'Earth'?

Everybody knows we are all living on a loud flavour of the colour pink and you can't prove otherwise.

Anybody want to tell her it's just the sun?

Happy Easter guys! I hope the Easter Bunny, Patron Saint of Diabetes, has been kind and generous to you on this holiest of chocolatey days. X

[How I Write Clips @PerellClips]

How the children's books industry works:

1. People are way less likely to read children's books on a Kindle.

2. Children's books generally have a longer shelf lives than adult books. If they're a hit, they stay popular for a long, long time.

3. Picture books cost way more to print than traditional books. A 32-page picture book can cost as much to print as a 400-page novel.

4. They have smaller margins because even though the printing costs are higher, they typically retail for significantly less than adult novels.

5. They have three kinds of storytelling: words, images, and the space between them. "It's almost like the author has to be a director, and all the children's books authors will talk about the mystery of the page turn."

6. The one commonality among every children's book writer is that they treat kids with respect. They don't talk down to them.
