    Thanks for your kind words folks

    I did say to the wife if its a boy we could call him Sinclair, and if its a girl just Clair.

    It did not meet with approval.

    I'm wondering now what ZX Spectrum related names I could sneak in there....?

    Could definitely do with more people called Monty...

    Oh yeah, say goodbye to anything slightly interesting on TV before 7pm for a while. Your life is about to be taken over by CBeebies/Nick Jr.

    Luckily my eldest being six has moved on from the likes of Dora, Lazy Town, In the Night Garden, etc. I have to suffer the likes of Hannah Montana, Jonas and Suite Life on Deck but we also get to watch Phineas and Ferb and Spongebob Squarepants, which it has to be said, are both bloody awesome!

    Congrats to both.

    Have 3 of my own. 10, 10 and 2 (boy, girl and boy). Any tips? I'm still trying to figure the first one out, and he's transcending into a 'Kevin' type teenager at a rate quicker than an over clocked cpu...

    A wank is cheaper in the long run, take it from someone who has slept through two kids who wake up in the middle of the night*

    Good luck with that. Ignore what women might tell you: parenthood is a really difficult job. Lisa told me that everything was easy and everything was going to be fantastic blah blah... but things work out at the end.

    Regards,

    Shaun.

    If you were younger than me it might be a better deal.

    Mind you it does mean I got the credit for some very great computer games.

    Sorry no deal Froby. :D

    Wouldn't know I ain't got any sprogs, and from how busy me and missus Boozy have been recently I might as well tie a friggin' knot in it :D

    Fantastic news. Your life will never be the same again, and that is a fact.

    I've been a dad for just over five months now and I don't know how I did without her for so many years - she's amazing.

    All the best to you and yours.

    Is that the 12 week scan ?

    We're having our 20 week scan on tuesday, nervous but excited as well.

    I cant believe the woman took that picture from the machine ! Normally they take a few and then select one for you to print out. Funny comparison though!

    Oh you're here? That means it wasn't you they nicked for killing all those prossers in Shipley :p

    Oh and BTW Scottie the Terminator thing is exactly what I thought before I even read your little comment about it :lol:

    Both my wifes aunt are up teh duff again now, both due in January, I dunno how people can afford to keep having all these babies round here, it costs about $37 for a bag of french fries a couple of pies and 2 12 packs of pop :???:

    My niece is up the duff again - this is her third and she's only 18.. (she's a right tearaway), that's not the worst of it - if the rumours are to be believed, she's having this one with my thieving, destructive oaf of a cousin (who is 17).

    ZX1 - considering we were all kids ourselves during the heyday of the Speccy, most of us being parents ourselves isn't unreasonable.. I'm swearing no more kids but knowing the wife, she'll want one or two more after our eldest goes off to university (considering we'll both be around 36 at the time, that's not unreasonable, still young'ish)..

    Luckily my eldest being six has moved on from the likes of Dora, Lazy Town, In the Night Garden, etc. I have to suffer the likes of Hannah Montana, Jonas and Suite Life on Deck but we also get to watch Phineas and Ferb and Spongebob Squarepants, which it has to be said, are both bloody awesome!

    I swear if I hear another Hannah Montana (or Jonas Brothers) song, I'm going to scream! Hands up who had to suffer the Hannah Montana Movie in the cinemas? (or who had to go through the embarrasment of asking for Hannah Montana games in GAME? The wife refused to let me order them online for our eldest, saying it was my duty as a dad to buy them in the shops no matter how embarrasing it was).

    My 2 year old nephew loves In The Night Garden..

    No 18 weeks, at 12 weeks she/he would be much less developed.

    Oh we have other pictures, I just put that one up because it was the funniest.
