Just spoken to Nathan on his mobile (he's in a free period at college). Apparently the Ice T is a seriously cool object of desire amongst college inhabitants, with people wanting to have a go on it. I do believe it may be doing circuits of the car park. I shall find out more when the offspring returns home later today ;-)
Cheers, helen s

But then, you already knew that, of course .. 😉

Indeed, but it's good to see that the average teenager finds it cool too. It sort of makes my mid-life crisis seem a little less mad... riding a 'bent, listening to Green Day & Jimmy Eat World... The only reason Nathan isn't taking me to a Green Day concert in May is that it's the same day as a time trial!

Heheheh in a spookily similar vein I have strict instructions to find and purchase Green Days 'American Idiot' by my 12 year old. Took me a while to figure it's a song and he wants the CD ... 😉

Don't know if this is something you consider, but the lyrics on the CD are parental advisory. Plenty of the "f" word being used. My favourite track on the album is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", followed by "Holiday", "Give Me Novacaine" and "American Idiot" Nathan was most surprised to find me singing along to said tracks ;-)

Itunes (or similar) solves this kind of thing. I have a standing order to give my son a few quid a month on his itunes account.

I take the view that if he hears it when we're also listening, and we make 'no big deal' of it, then they may realise that swearing isn't big or clever.
We don't allow them to swear at all, but recognise that they will whilst out with friends maybe, and that they'll hear it all on TV anyway ... and to be honest, they do hear it from me occasionally, whilst outside the influence of swmbo .. 😉

This is something we're considering, but at 12 years old, we'd rather not have him going around with a £200 iPod around his neck .. his £50 MP3 player is good enough for now, and he has a CD Walkman .. 😉
In the last year he's broken or lost three mobile phones, one MP3 player and a Walkman. He now buys them himself .. 😉

...and getting iTunes music onto anything other than an iPod is something Apple make very very difficult (not impossible though ;-)

And people moan at Microsoft ... where everyone has access ... 😉

Err... sorry?
Apple stuff only works on machines with Apple operating systems.
Microsoft stuff only works on machines with Microsoft operating systems.
Where's the difference?
