I got a Rubiks 360 for christmas from my mum, my brother-not-quite-in-law Deano got one too. If you’ve not seen them before they’re extremely frustrating, it’s like a gyroscope with three layers of transparent balls which rotate freely in different axes. Each layer has a hole which is opposite the heavy ball bearing (and so always wants to stay on top). To finish the 360 you have to get each of the coloured balls all the way to the outside layer and then drop them into the corresponding pod on the outermost ball.

I spent a frustrating hour on christmas day trying to get just one of the little coloured beads out of the first layer, in the end I had to put it down because it was going to go out of the window, I put it aside for a quiet weekend.

That was, until I got back and H picked it up one evening asking what it was, like me she spent an hour screaming at the thing and making the motions as if she was about to throw it at the wall, in the end I had to take it off her and make her watch tv.

The next day I got back from work to find this:

Damn women…
