I think the reason your joy and anticipation changes and diminishes as you grow up is because you slowly learn the real limits the world has. As a child, you really think anything is possible so the only barrier to anything is your imagination. As an adult, we are acutely aware of how much really isn't possible and it destroys so much childhood wonder.

'Would of' is fascinating to me as a logophile.. It's slowly replacing the correct 'would have' over time.. It's started to crop up a lot on social media. Not often you get to witness the gradual changing of language..

@John Where did that come from??

My first thought was: get a pane of glass, sellotape it all over, both sides, then drop it on the floor(or crack it all over with a blunt object). You've broken it successfully, but the sellotape stops all the pieces from disappearing all over the shop, so you've also immediately reassembled it.

...Personally, I loved Lego pamphlets that showed all the Lego sets you could get arranged as towns. I vividly remember just staring at them for hours on end, imagining how fun it'd be if I had more than one fire truck and a fireman with no head. The joy of anticipation and expectation as a kid is really intense, more intense than it ever is when you grow up.

I like this episode but I am a bit baffled as to why there's a giant mural painting of Jeremy Corbyn in the main room of the house. Seriously, it's uncanny.

There was a recent indie game called Tunic - a kind of top-down 16-bit-era Zelda style game - that had quite a clever conceit: as you wandered the game world, you'd pick up pages of the game's manual that revealed important things about the game world and its map. The pages from the manual were designed to look exactly like a SNES/Mega Drive era manual in a foreign language, really lavish, beautiful, colourful and interesting artifacts that went through everything in the game. It was a kind of tribute by the developers to the lost art of the video-game manual.

Feels a bit harsh.

The classic example of sniffing things as a child that springs to my mind is freshly printed instruction manuals in my video games! Usually in the car on the way back from the store and there wasn't a lot you could do with it while waiting to get home :)
