This pic was from the b/w days (strictly monochrome, for you techies); I'm 3rd from the left. Q. How many sisters are missing?  Email your answer for a prize. Family members are excluded from this competition, especially B and S-T who are the most likely to be moved to correspondence.

Some years later, here are the boys watching telly; the true interest in this photo is that we still use the same telly (sadly just off pic, but it's a push-button colour(ish - more hues these days) model):

… and some time later, they're in party mode:

It's important to assign roles and hierarchy in a family, in order to avoid conflicts and duplication. Here's how we have done it:

Family Member: Lesley
Position:    Director of Home
                    Director of Finance
                    Director of Horticulture
                    Director of Purchasing
                    Director of Education
                    Head of Taxi
                    Head of Family Vacations

How Anthony manages to combine two seemingly full-time roles is beyond your humble scribe. In particular, Director of Mayhem requires 24-hour seeking out of parties, celebrations and the like and total dedication in pursuit of enjoyment. The role also demands an in-depth knowledge of the UK brewing industry and total familiarity with their products. A lesser man would shy from such responsibility. Head of Motorsport encompasses planning and executing a full motorsport season incl. entries, licence and regulations, car preparations, logistics (whatever they are) and of course competition driving. Finally (if that was not enough) hiding the true budget from Director of Finance for this activity requires a talent not normally compatible with Director of Mayhem; true inter-disciplinary truth evasionary multi-tasking.

Family Member: Alex
Position:    Head of Cycling with Mud

You know how most people, when they're out on their bicycle, try to avoid puddles? Well Alex doesn't do this. He doesn't care where he rides and how much mud he gets on his clothes, shoes, bike, face, teeth, up his nose … We think that, if it stops raining for more than around 4 days this summer, he'll quit riding. Which will spare many bikes a great deal of frame destruction.

Family Member: Patrick
Position:    Head of Guitar Extraneous Noises

We bought Patrick a musical instrument recently, thinking it'll be a nice quiet hobby, and looking forward to Hank Marvin impersonations. What does he do? Make all kinds of noises that a guitar just is not designed to do. I blame that Matt Bellamy from Muse. It'll be my turn on the Marshall tomorrow … (update) … I guess it was inevitable that tuning the bottom E down to D and creating all manner of squeaky noises would cause a drift away from the school uniform and a hair-colour change:
