Review: Gangsta Granny at the Bristol Hippodrome
![Gangsta Granny Review Granny and Ben on Mobility Scooter](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQW18rnIzHyKHd5AzRGtsEkOqhzyzgbILmXeYposVBOE0pCyWKvv3cfx2CkmPPUxMzpoO1vjnW2YJ9DUHSC0mszy2Pgbdwj3QlOWf4fNsLgnkrfjRzNkklue-LeqKw0VeaLVUH4jG6k84/s200/Gangsta+Granny.jpg)
We were absolutely thrilled to be asked to review Gangsta Granny, the stage adaptation of David Walliams' fantastic book. We love going to the theatre and, having read all the David Walliams books, L couldn't wait to see how it transferred to the stage. I wasn't worried about a children's show being less appealing for the grown ups. Walliams has proven to be a visual comic genius and there is no way he was going to let us down in the laugh department. I was not disappointed and neither was L. He was absolutely transfixed for the whole two hours and so was every other child in the nearly full theatre.

BrickBox Subscription Box Review
![Brickbox Subscription Box Boy with Brickbox Package, title overlaid](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMFC0jU4ffurLkvcFvDBnv9zL1OPdqmPqHLuDsrLIj6S8wJM_bT2sOjYTzJM3X-Yq5ua-UtoSutBw6vc-yhWUpXHvBh9_htVLbhRdkQv0l0Eh_S9Jsg70EHa7kTbI9PUl0Vnez6s-UpE/s200/Boy+with+Brickbox.jpg)
Lego and other compatible building sets will always be popular with children. They're just so entertaining in the way they capture the imagination with the endless building possibilities and ideas. Every parent knows how much children love getting post, it's a joy that sadly diminishes with age and the onset of many bills, but in a child, it's still a moment of pure excitement, when they realise a letter or parcel is for them. So, when we were asked to review a Brickbox box, all the way from the Netherlands, I was very keen to see how excited L would be to receive post that turned out to be Lego. Life doesn't get much better than that when you are 11!

Stop Naming Terrorists - We Don't Care
![Stop Naming Terrorists Lady with finger to lips, title overlaid](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwjO5_n2FIe7h3uOg9pLLfA-VqkwGiHbaIB8EEP6AuKj_SMGEnc6kfcqF95BmtLxWCkIUpAQkc4LgBWWXcJ3DHLejjJsClq4CVWyuvzPThq8CbAn8tLS-abOAKU2owRJ8tY4bMQzn0VLA/s200/Stop+Naming+Terrorists.jpg)
Yesterday, I wrote about the bomb blast in Manchester and how I felt that it was pointless for many reasons. One of those reasons was that the cause, or the perpetrators, would not be remembered, only the innocent and the brave who were caught up in the atrocity. Then, this morning, all over the news, were all the details of the 'loser', to quote Mr Trump (yes, I know, only sensible thing he's ever said!) and it made me really angry. Why are we giving them what they want? Why do we care what his name was or when his birthday is? The mindset of anyone who could commit an atrocity like this is to make a name for themselves, so why are we giving them that opportunity? Stop naming terrorists!

Manchester #WeStandTogether
![Manchester #WeStandTogether A Manchester cityscape with title overlaid](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs4Tnn2diDJnSS6rn60qKJ1S19JxvJcEd1AYtEqv_bg5DJi-NJm0tGVYx98OfJwfEfP2WdshwZj3YP_4gihjoAjGm9SvjwLCzjSlYRahknq8c2wGkBE1gu65-sYhVrkTQ7NnFO-l_FqTM/s200/Manchester.jpg)
I went to bed early last night, so it wasn't until this morning that I woke up to the horrific news from Manchester Arena. There are no words are there? There are no words that will do anything to ease the pain for those families, the ones with missing children, the ones who are coming to terms with losing a loved one. Nothing anyone can say will make it any better for any of them. Not even the ones that maybe weren't hurt, the 'lucky ones'. Those people, most of them very young, will carry the memories, the emotional scars of what happened, probably forever. And for what? What can it possibly achieve? I just don't get it. I don't understand the point of it at all.
