Even my TiVo has a thing against Michael Howard

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Watching the Question time special this evening with the 3 main party leaders and just as Michael Howard was announced up popped the TiVo with “TiVo would like to change channel to UKGold to record a suggestion: Fawlty Towers”.
Dunno about are you thinking what we’re thinking - my TiVo was obviously thinking what I was [...]

Went to visit Ethan last night. Only allowed 20 mins but to be honest, that was more than enough in the oven that is special baby care unit. Ethan slept all of the time and despite my mums claim that he looks like Jake (errrrr….how the hell would that happen?) I reckon he just looks [...]

Good news is that after a rather long and drawn out saga Ethan was born at 7:49 this morning. Since having her waters break on wednesday my sis had days of midwives attempting to decide what to do and then deciding they were too busy to do anything
The not so good news is [...]

DIY skills improving - parenting skills down the pan [...]

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

I’ve just had a very odd phonecall.
Some woman who claimed to be from Amsterdam (some company that I could make the name out despite asking her 3 times) rings on an amazingly bad phoneline saying that her colleague contacted me a year ago about an investment scheme and did I remember?
No. I don’t. No they [...]
