What, like you beat down the other Tynan ? Time for another call to social services I think.

How old is Tynan, my new manchild is now 7 weeks (yesterday) - perhaps we should race them, is baby racing still legal ?

The world of small coincidences !

As I read that, I had, in my hand, a piece of paper with BoBoB's home address on !

Weirdness.

Ha ha ha, reminds me of Upright Citizens Brigade. Racing babies is definitely legal.

This thread reminded me of an email I recieved once which made a very small and unimportant change to a fairly long document I'd written. The person who sent the email signed off by saying

"Sorry for being a pendant"

I suppose so.

I sometimes feel that life would be easier as a Tory though. You can spend time being annoyed about other people betraying the Empire, not being polite enough etc. instead of having to worrying about whether a joke oversteps the conceptual line.

1762 LD. RADNOR in Priv. Lett. 1st Ld. Malmesbury I. 85 The Hobbema is also a very capital picture. 1791 Ann. Horsem. vi. (1809) 91 He clears every thing with his fore legs in a capital style. 1835 G. Gurney I. ii, Nobody said capital, or even good, or even tolerable. 1870 Ralf Skirl. III. 26 He was a capital companion. 1875 Plato (ed. 2) I. 100 Capital, Socrates; by the gods, that is truly good.

He's already beating me down, but Childline seem unsympathetic towards my claims of suffering physical abuse at the hands of an infant.

I was going to ask if yours had arrived yet. Congratulations :)

Mine is very very fast, but we could arrange some sort of handicap system to make things more interesting...

Oh, he was 18 months last Tuesday.
