Why do boys in particular do that? My son lines up all his action figures in the same way, and I think I did with all my airfix soldiers

Almost every cartoon/kids thing(from teletubbies to gi joes) lines up characters like that. Also in any family photo situation people do that. So maybe a learned feature, or just a basic nature "see everything clearly" thing?

No idea.

Looked it up a bit; apparently just a regular brain growing thingy. It's for differentiating things, this isn't like that, that isn't like this etc. Basic human development. Boys seem to do it longer and more because they be dumbdumbs and evolve slower :p

Also learned that modern society is way too easy to label something as a "disorder" as 90% of search results resulted in "is my kid autistic?!"

That's pretty interesting, so you pretty much learn how to differentiate between your figures.

I bet @Job had little boxes too to put his figures into.

Yeah, think it comes somewhere after a kid learns that their reflection is themselves. I don't care for kids much, but the way they develop in the 1-6 years is rather spectacular.

I notice that there doesn't seem to be that many subscribers atm, they may have run out, and you don't get a message telling you so.

Just saying peeps

The new car tax rates are a bit complicated, you pay a rate in the first year of registration tied to it's c02, then in the second year it's a flat rate, but a car over 250gm of co2 in it's first year the tax is 2 grand!

Housemate update number #497;

Last night while drifting to slumberslumber land, heard her go "ballistic"(shouting, threats, banging of cabinets) at the landlord for daring to be drunk and in the commons kitchen. Here's hoping that's enough for him to do something.

Just saw a dad trying to teach his son how to ride a bike, he was making him walk with the bike and balancing...

I learnt by getting pushed down a hill and figuring it out as I went along.

And as we speak the Government will be pouring millions into driverless trains, the RMT will go the same way as the print unions, automating the underground could be done by a 90's laptop.
