Heh. When are you writing a book on all this? I refuse to bring any children into this world until you do so!

Brilliant!

Ouch! That's harsh, but an inherently parental instinct I think! Dread to think what'll happen when I have kids...

You're brilliant!
But i'm glad my parents never figured that one out...

ah robin, the tricks of the trade, eh ? todd will lie in bed dying of a severe stomach ache as we soothingly tell him that he can stay at home and as a treat we'll take him to the 'Quick' (belgian McDickies). his recovery is so fast that before he knows it he's been kicked out of the door and off to school.

we tend not to OD on pity.

Gordon: how kind. Yes, I'd love a book deal and a radio show but alas these things are not always given to the worthy or high minded among us.

Hello everyone else, particularly Laura whose voice has not been seen here before.
