congrats, are you coming on here hoping we will suggest names ? :)
whats wrong with shaolin etc..
now you'll be needing that room you store ya speccy stuff and other retro goodies in.. tell Mrs Matt, I also do collection as well (I find dealing with peoples wives easier as they have no emotional connection to manic miner etc.)
It's been a hectic day - Got him home at about 2 o'clock today, when he was less than a day old. Now coming to terms with having this whole new other little person in our family to look after.
awesome stuff congratulations, do miss having tiny people about my twins turned 7 today, done nothing but think about when they first came home
Yeah my boy turned 8 last month, my little girl's 5 in two months, doesn't seem five minutes since they were born. It's a massive clich? but they grow up so quickly...
a mutual friend of someone I know, became a granddad at 29 , you mean ya 31 ? :D
and one of my sisters friends, I call the waltons as one of their daughters is always pregnant.
so Matt you have any names yet ? My 6 year old sister named me.. thankfully it could have been worse as it was the 70's :D
His name is Harry, middle name Joseph. I lobbied briefly to reprise some of the old names from our school days (Keith, Kevin, Neil), but I was quickly overruled. Probably for the best. I was also keen on either Sidney James, or Arthur Stanley (which was Stan Laurel's real name, and I nearly got!).
We're both very happy with 'Harry' as a name though, which is good going since I'm a teacher and as a result lots of names get automatically ruled out!

yer that'd help with seeing names that are a mickey-take magnet.
my friends niece is called "diamond" , he slated his sister for it.. as say she grows up to be ugly.. rough diamond etc..
it's funny the amount of names that are popular due to music or tv etc at the time. a friend was named after jason king the detective bloke from the 70's

Sidney James! Bwahahahaha :lol:
It's funny how names come back round, I don't know anyone of my age called Harry or Jack, they're all under 15 or over 60 :)
Makes me wonder if our generation's grandchildren will be called Keith, Kevin and Neil... or Tracey and Sharon for girls?

Mrs Spoons is a teacher, and I remember before our son was born, calling out baby names from a book and her going "Nope, I taught a kid called that, he was a right little sh*t!" to almost everything :D
