Me, helping nearly-eight-year-old who broke his arm this week: Putting on socks and shoes is the one thing you can't do one-handed. Nearly-eight-year-old: It's not the only thing. There's pole-vaulting.

QPR! On fire. @EuuanXCVI At this rate they'll make the play-offs. 🙂

Trophy-winning season for Arsenal @raylaurence1 No League title for 20 years. No FA cup for 4 years. No League cup for 31 years. But no one can take away that Community Shield Triumph. Enjoy! 🙂
