Oh wow!! Congratulations Athiest!!!!!
Athiest, that might not be the best deal you have ever cut. Alien anal probing is a picnic compared with the vasectomy. :lol:Quote:

Question though if you didnt have a name lined up what did you call the baby till you named him?
and on a slightly literay twist please tell me you dfidnt go the route of the charcters in Miss Billie Married who had twins and the dad refused to name them saying they would choose names for themselves once they had grown old enough to make the desions and the two boys became known as spot and dimple?!
:p
Oh, Athiest I've only just noticed! Many congrats to you and your family on your new healthy baby :)
3.2kg...does that convert to about 7or so pounds? I can't remember the conversion..I think it's 2.2
I'm off to check out the pix of the new baby. And I am glad to know that Mr. Meconium is not a part of the pix as he is not pleasant to look at.
*addition* I saw the pix :) You have beautiful children!
Have you settled on the child's name yet?
I stand corrected 3.2 kg is not very big, my mum just had ridiculously tiny babies.
lol well keep in mind where they're coming out from! My baby was only a bit over 6lbs (approx 2.9kgs) and I am very glad she wasn't bigger than that! ouch...Quote:

Oh well any baby is too big I think but that aside, I thought 3.2 seemed bi but My mum said no it was normal and healthy. hence the correction. :D

oh congrats! a baby!
Notice something guys, as soon as babies are mentioned the females are all over this thread like a rash, but in novels they hardly merit a mention, apart from Jude the Obscure. Athiest, yesterday you were a member of the male unmentionables but now you are a superstar, tomorrow it will be business as usual. Bring it on ;)
oh, okay, i get the hint...i'll leave!!!i'd rather go have some coffee talk anyways!
Footnote, I did the World tour last year , funnily enough I was in New Zealand exactly nine months ago. I found the women generally friendly and most acommodating. :D
we're not as bad you guys make us out to be...we just, you know, need some girl chat once in a while!;):pQuote:

Parody on Shakespeare: now the youth of Scotland are afire and silken kilts doth in the wardrobe lie, time to put on our manly harness and head on the other direction. That is why we Scots won our freedom, wear out the enemy by running from them. Believe me it works every time. :D
Thanks all, again!
Mum and baby both doing ridiculously well.
3.2 kg = 7lb 2 oz. Quite small compared to his brother & sister who were 9lb each!
Been there, done that, written the expose.Quote:

Athiest, good to hear from you I was getting a wee bit worried, ' alls well that ends well '. Tell your missus to get well soon, she will probably have to do a fair bit of cleaning when she gets home;)

Well, stick around and you will hear things that will make your hair curl. Just ask Prendrelmick. :DQuote:

My favourite, but not generally repeated for obvious reasons.
Churchill was attacked in what was termed "unparliamentary language" during a debate in The House of Commons by a member of the post war Labour Party majority. He refrained however from responding in the same mode. The then PM, Clem Attlee regarded the incident as out of order & instructed the errant MP to go to Churchill's home at Chartwell & apologise.
He duly arrived and was instructed by the butler to wait in the drawing room while he found Mr Churchill.
He located him in the toilet, knocked gently on the door and said: "Mr Churchill there is a Mr ----- here to see you".
Churchill's response was: "He will have to wait. I can only deal with one **** at a time."
:lol:
that's exactly why there's the coffee thread for us girls, to uncurl what you guys curlQuote:

Is she still alive?
Eh chuck, she is that.
Hilda is a British icon but, it has to be said, Stan was well better looking. :DQuote:

:lol: Yes ' by jingo' Young Great Grandpa Prendrelemick is a legend and a role model to us Scots, and he changed the face of English Literature. Five hundred and ninety nine scans much better. He is ranked right up there with uncle Walter :)Quote:

I knew there had to be one good thing about it.
Meanwhile at Lords.
I hope the boy Strauss knows what he is doing, not forceing the follow-on.
I was just coming in to comment on this.Quote:

Having been saved by some fantastic defence from a bollocking the first time around, passing up an opportunity to put his foot on Punter's throat may come back to haunt him.
Next couple of days will tell.
Where does he declare? 600?
I think its all about time now rather than runs, a two hour slogfest in the morning then put them in.
About the follow-on thing, I wonder if Flintoff is 100% fit, perhaps his dodgy knees needed a rest.
I think it's just a bob each way scenario - if you leave a big enough target, you can't lose and you might win, while if you let the opps build up a lead, you could still lose. Shows a distinct lack of testicular fortitude, I feel.Quote:

Oh yeah, we finally decided on a name for the wee chap.
Quint.
Is he your fifth?
