It's like a cartoon
Though the question is ambiguous, children could be living with both parents, just not at the same time.
There’s precisely zero chance that popular Western mobile phones, which are packaged as tightly as Formula 1 cars, can be modified to be explosive. At least other than the famous Samsung Note 7, which had dodgy batteries installed in the factory.
Our 31st wedding anniversary today. 34 years to the day since we met. Had a fantastic day in sun drenched Lincoln.

It's nightmarish, the sort of thing you can read in a Kindle Unlimited novel about a near future where the Chinese decide they need some sort of non-nuke first strike on the US.
Remind me, where do we get a lot of our tech made nowadays?
Hezbollah are not quite as evil as Hamas, but they are still pretty evil. And they have been randomly shelling northern Israel for months, making a chunk of the country literally uninhabitable
There is a way for them to stop all this: sue for peace, stop shelling Israel
That is also one step to getting Israel to stop its abhorrent brutality in Gaza
62 years later we have our three children, 5 grandchildren, who have a couple of dogs and a cat, and this year Charles and Camilla sent us a personally signed 60th birthday card and we had a wonderful family celebration
I would just comment that the early years were a struggle, as most young couples find, not least because my wife stayed at home looking after the children so no second income and her pension is only £5,200 pa as a result of staying at home
We had our ups and downs but the last 20 years, and especially since I retired, we have never been closer and I hope those married or in partnership experience a long , happy and fulfilling time together because one day you will wake up and say where have all the years gone but cherish all the memories that accrued over the decades
Cause and effect is the wrong way round here: a relationship doesn't suddenly become happy and stable because of a wedding. Relationships which are happy and stable are more likely to incline their participants towards a wedding.
I'm a big enthusiast for stable long-term relationships. The model has done me very well. But we're married because the relationship works for us, rather than the other way around.
Or LibDem PPBs...
Especially as Italy has quite a high divorce rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_demography
I'm impressed you mentioned the cat!

PS Well done RCS, TSE or whoever sorted it!
I suppose that your travels play a large part in your fond memories? I'm guessing they will for me too one day, which is why I'm keen on videos (travelogues) of our holidays and adventures. They are rather anally organised on a hard drive attached to the TV much to the amusement of my children.
One day I'll put my feet up and revel in those times.
Spending money on intangible experiences is far more valuable than spending money on tangible things.
Was winning Brexit a tactical blunder by Johnson? Or was it a massive strategic f*ck-up?
Note Politicians, not the party.
Classic buying influence.
Our travel started when our children were young as we drove across Europe, even to Venice [not without stops though] with our children on our back seat and they talk of those memories to this day and indeed replicate them with their children
The catalyst for our worldwide travel was our eldest emigration to New Zealand in 2003 and as we visited him and his partner over the next several years we always travelled a different way and took the opportunity of visits to Japan, South Africa, and China
We only went on cruises that took us to interesting places and rarely socialised on the ships
It was our choice to spend money on travel and we have never regretted any of it and the memories sustain us
Saw your namesake's memorial stone in the crypt of St Paul's last week btw, nearly posted a pic of it on here.
I was struck by the fact that all the British military leaders commemorated there (and there are quite a few) were born within about 10 years of each other in the 1880s. I guess it makes sense on reflection but it did seem remarkable.

Not only will they lack modern communications - itself crippling - they will be physically shunned by others. Who wants to stand next to the Hezbollah fighter in a supermarket? Or a wedding? Or anywhere at all?
This could then lead to a collapse in young men volunteering to join. And so Hezbollah goes extinct
I don't know who paid for it. Knowing Jeremy, as I don't, I'd guess that it was from an aggregate of small donations by highly principled socialists. none of whom were rewarded with undue influence.
18 years, 1 month and 19 days since we got married.
And 12 years, 4 months, and 12 days for my mistress and me.

The PM’s advisor now earns more than the PM does.
Are you feeling it yet?
£40,000 per year pay rise for Dominic Cummings.
£3.50 per week for NHS nurses.
The mask has slipped.
PS It might be possible that @tse's thoughts helped me towards my bets. (I think in part did)
It’s interesting how much we get an impression of who other posters here are, and what their lives might look like.

Yes they had a tough hand to play, but no one forced them to do all sad, creepy and desperately greedy shit
