    This might be a stupid question but an ice cream van is just after going by blowing its usual tune.
    Now its 7.52 pm at night.
    Would it be unfair in thinking this is too bloody late to be out selling their stuff?
    We have just gotten the (4) young kids to bed and the next thing they hear is the Ice Cream van outside!!! :mad:

    What time would you call "too late" to be going around the streets and estates, sounding off with their van music?

    Probably a drug dealer.

    Did the van a "Mind that Junkiee" sign on the back?

    7:52pm is night? I always thought that 9:00pm onwards would be night.

    Was also a device used to kill someone in the Dune series of books by Frank Herbert. Later made into a film and tv series.
    (First one made into a film staring Sting - it was crap, they cut absolute lumps out of it)

    Well for young kids, it's night. Try explaining to a 4 year old the difference between evening and night-time.
    They just look at you with a puzzled face as if to say "what the fcuk are you on about!" :pac:

    That was a hunter seeker.

    The movie isn't too bad, its just too big of a story for a film.

    100%

    Your right. Me wrong. :D
    A+ for good memory. ;)

    The film (with Sting) was originally a tv series but rejected so the makers cut it down and turn it into a film.
    Somewhere out there is the original fuller parts on old reels.

    I'd do it myself only it would be traceable back to me.
    Then again if I plan it right, there might indeed be a way...
    Forget this thread. If anyone comes asking questions in weeks to come, you were never here!

    Lucky for you! Up untill I was ten or eleven I used to have to go to bed at 8pm every night. Was ****ing awful having to sit in the room in the light thinking "i'm not ****ing tired... I won't be tired for hours...", I think it's how I got my love for reading...

    I think 7.30/8.00pm is a reasonable bed time for kids aged below 9 years old. Kids need sleep, loads of sleep. Especially young kids. 4 year olds are still recommended to get 12 hours sleep a night.
