Another new years eve at home with family, TV & a glass of port. Probably in bed before midnight. I Wouldn't have it any other way. Happy NY

Sing... We are the champions, my friend. And we'll keep on fighting to the end.

Bloody hell we won the pub quiz! Actually won! Both a bottle of wine and the main top score cash prize. Seriously!

Heading up the pub with Darren, if any of you mums want to get rid of your husbands, send em over that is where we are!

My Risa Solid Concert Electric Ukuele & Roland Micro Cube Amp (with Coke can for scale) http://twitpic.com/vnka8

Alone, wife is at the Cinema with friends. Baby sobbed for about an hour, only stopping to look at the door whenever I mentioned "Mummy".

Got a Roland Micro Cube for the uke, from my local music shop. Got it for 20 pct off + a free 20 quid boss tuner! Great amp, love it!

Might snow tomorrow! All the intelligent parents have bought up all the sledges, damn them and their forward thinking!

I am a bit concerned that my Risa solid electric uke is just amplifying my ineptitude.

Spent time rebuilding an RC helicopter from the ground up, literally, it's nothing but an engine and rotors, will it fly? watch this space!

Bad night. Kept up until 3:15am with son2 calling for us, then up at 6am for the baby. Almost 3 hours sleep is not enough.

Merry Christmas to all! Having a great time. Lots of lovely ukulele based gift, so I am happy. Kids are over the moon with all their toys.

Nothing made me feel more dad-like, putting out mince pie & ginger wine for Santa - then consuming them :)

I think i have over done it

I have had too many

Drinking heavily with the Dads in my area, lovely bunch of chaps. Also reading OH status updates with concern. Love ya babe x

I wonder if I should go and see Avatar (Dances with Thundersmurfs) any good?

Stuck for gift ideas for me? I would like a Lazareth Wazuma Quad http://ping.fm/GV4QT

I FOUND A PRESENT FOR MY WIFE!

"Would you prefer Colin Firth or me?", I asked me wife earlier. She had to think about it for ages. "Colin Firth" was her eventual reply.

Here's a Pythonesque little number I tossed off in the Mediterranean. All about "Freecycle" http://ping.fm/hE9Us

Ooooh... Steam are doing a free Team Fortress 2 weekend, who needs reality.

Finally landed back in the UK.

Middle class stress: that bloke on a plane who shouts "I'm on a plane, no, i am actually on a plane.... yeah right now". Grrr

One endearing yet slightly annoying British trait is how cheerful we all are in a crisis. Bulldog spirit? Or maybe we are all sociapaths?

Snow is great fun when it isn't grounding your flight home. Stuck in Belgium, airport closed, bored stiff.

Watching xray monitor, my laptop case showed a GUN in it! The operator clicked a button and it disappeared, seems it was an operator test!

Strangest gift pack I have ever seen, here at Brussels airport: Salts of the world - a collection of 10 jars of salt from various places!

Note to self, when visiting Brussels in blizzard conditions, remember your coat.

Very heavy snow forcast today, about to get on a plane for Brussels, worried I might get stranded.

No snow this morning so off to Belgium I go. Maybe my wife's elusive present exists in Brussels? Doubt I will have time to look.

it's stopped snowing :(

IT'S REALLY REALLY SNOWING!... and I have a flight tomorrow... poop.

IT'S SNOWING!

Cor, look at the fretboard on that http://ping.fm/zdXAE my next next uke.

Day off again, gift hunting again. One of those days where everyone is walking into me, probably a state of mind.

Weird few days, unpredicted hostility from family members has knocked sideways. Back to Belgium for an urgent meeting at the end of the week

Better do something... wasting the day AGAIN!

Simon Cowell is running the "Rage Against the Machine" campaign, he owns the rights to the song, public knowledge. Don't be manipulated.

Having a cup of tea and a biscuit. Watching my wife wash cement out of a bucket in the rain having just tiled the kitchen floor. Equality.

Still looking for that holy grail, a present for my wife. Losing will to live.

Day off today, spending the day in town walking around aimlessly, trying to find a gift for a person who wants nothing.

My solution to the Christmas light vandal, many many more lights. You can now see my house from space. Take that!

December 8th. Gift 7 closely followed by 8 arrive from my Mum. It's like she's discovered the postal service for the first time.

Got to watch a "Family Guy" to calm down from a manic left4dead 2 session http://ping.fm/Wsbpd I'm a nervous wreck.

Christmas miracle last night, staggered back from pub, stereotypically merry. Hadnt had dinner. 11 30pm, my wife cooks me a cheese burger!

Crystal clear skies on decent over London. I could see every sight in a glance. Kept wishing my Wife and Dad could see it, they love flying

Is. It wrong to text from a plane?

Peeing down in Belgium. Lunch "World famous British fish and chips" of course the chips were nice, not sure what species the brown fish was!

Non functioning online check-in, delayed flight, extremely rude flight attendant. Last time I fly BMI.

Landed Brussels.

Sitting on a tiny little emb135 jet. I like travelling on small aircraft, last time I was on one of these was Phoenix to LA.

There is something spine-tingling about driving past a cold dark woodland at 5am and seeing a distant flickering torchlight between trees.

Off to Belgium tomorrow morning, back home in the afternoon, barely enough time to get homesick this time :D

Wife has put up the Christmas tree and decorated it with the "help" of the boys. Looks like a festive tinsel bomb has exploded near it.

Wife has put up the Christmas Tree

Today is one of those days

Exhausted today, thank goodness for shopping centre soft play areas. Almost fell asleep twice, watching the boys play.

When i'm bored in book shops. I like to move the Children's bibles into the Fairy Tale section, which, joking aside, is where they belong.

Finley the fire engine tackling the tricky subject of death this morning on cbeebies. Son1 worried about mortality now, mine - as I am old.

Just watched Inglorious Basterds, I thought it would be terrible, but it was a brilliant spaghetti western styled nazi killing romp.

IT'S FRIDAY!! wow that was a long week, what is going on with the 4th dimension these day. DAMN YOU CERN!

Ukulele night tonight, I learned a valuable fingering lesson from Darren (matron) which makes me sound like a cross between Hendrix & Formby

Apart from the recycling bin hitting the car, no real damage from the storm last night. thankfully.

I only got to sleep at 3am, awake listening to the storm rippling the tiles on my house. Scary. Inspecting for damage now.

Blimey - it's a bit windy out there, keeping me up, I am a bit worried that the banging I can hear are slates coming lose :(

On the subject of Quantum Physics, I tell you what annoys me. Animal rights people complaining about animal abuse in reference to Schrodinger's cat. Firstly it is a theoretical paradoxical thought experiment that neatly demonstrates the idea of quantum superpositions. More importantly, don't they realise that by opening the box to rescue the animal they are observing it's state which will collapse it's quantum wave function, so they are directly responsible for killing the cat (50% of the time). Assuming the experiment wasn't tainted by objective collapse theory, i.e. the cat observed itself. Anyway, not worth the risk. Leave the cat to hover in it's superposition. I can imagine my wife rolling her eyes when she reads this, but it had to be said.

"What's your favourite headline?" The Sun asks. Mine? "We're Bankrupt", it's from around 2015, when blogs & free media wipe out "news"papers

Finally getting off the plane :)

Air Malta have very good in-flight meals. The Knee-jerker is now frantically rubbing his iPhone. I hope it is a game & not gadget adoration.

Nobody in front of me woohoo, although the guy next to me has that weird sexual tension knee shaking thing going on.

Air Malta, a staggering 8" between my seat and the seat in front, seriously. Least leg-room ever. If his seat goes back I will be crippled

Everything was going well with this Malta trip. But now my flight is delayed thanks to ATC probs & the UK is looking v stormy. Bouncy ride!

I think the saying "you could get hit by a bus tomorrow" originated from Malta. It should have.

Customer meeting shortly. Woke up with massive spot on my nose. I look like Rudolph :(

Eating alone in a restaurant, head waiter has placed me in the most conspicuous spot imaginable, why do they do that?

I am pretty sure the guy who designed the roads in Malta also designed rollercoasters, fatal rollercoasters.

Arrived Malta. It's hot.

Sitting on a hot plane waiting to depart to Malta. Feeling down today. Can't put my finger on it. Brought camera to log my activity for OH.

Party over. Balloon modelling courtesy of Gerry. An obscene sackful of presents from friends & 2 tired little boys. Good time had by all.

Today is Son1 & Son2's big party, they are excited. Rain coming down in torrents though. Good job it is inside.

My wife's cupcakes for the children's birthday party tomorrow http://www.twitpic.com/pckvz (she made the dinosaurs too)

I am determined to cover Matt Berry's "Take My Hand" or Regina Spektor's "On the Radio" on the Ukulele. Project for the weekend.

Free cupcakes from Kim our barmaid, just for giving her some advice on http://www.heytherecupcake.co.uk how cool is that! They look lovely.

2 hours practicing the ukulele matrix strumming technique with Darren, i need a drink, so it is a good job im in a pub.

Son2's Birthday tomorrow, Sadly I'm working, but we have a tea party arranged in the evening, then a joint party with Son1 on Saturday.

Spent the evening playing CoDMW2, I can see why people got upset with the airport level (and I play Left 4 Dead).

Kim is a lovely lady I know who has started up a cupcake baking business here http://budurl.com/4tbb please help by passing it on

First ukulele lesson went well. Clive confirmed what I have suspected for a while, my little finger on my left hand is a bit spazzy.

Surprised! Got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Prestige edition a day early! The Nightvision goggles are AMAZING! http://budurl.com/cjjr

After months of self-taught floundering, Darren & I have a Ukulele lesson tonight with a professional. I am quite looking forward to it.

At a kids birthday party this afternoon. Love seeing my boys playing nicely, it'll happen one day I'm sure :D joking - they are being great

We are now a 2 Ukulele family. My father-in-law bought me a mint condition uke from a car boot sale. Sounds better than my current one.

Sundays, I hate Sundays.

Wireless router power apapter blew up overnight. I mean REALLY blew up. Case shattered, evidence of fire on casing. Lucky it didn't catch!

Played Left 4 Dead 2 demo last night on PC. Amazing game. More polished than L4D 1, but somehow has lost that rough, dirty, unsettling charm

Very moving & worthwhile chronicle of Ian Fisher - http://ping.fm/XwwLG

T4DIF! TGIF is too much like a prayer for an agnostic theist & TFIF is way too vulgar. So - "Thanks 4th Dimension, it's Friday"

Son2 loved a Halloween themed miniature train ride through woods tonight. No trick or treaters called at home though, more sweets for me!

Sold my old car today!

Son1 is under the weather but on the mend now. He saw that EyePet has a dinosaur costume, so I bought it. I am quite excited to have a go.

I feel completely run down today, not ill as such, just exhausted.

Watching cbeebies with the kids before work starts. Can anyone explain what on earth Numberjacks is about? Seriously cryptic.

Today I am pumping real world traffic through a lab IDP system, checking for any FPs.

Blimey - I remember this advert http://ping.fm/weVG3 Disturbing.

Asked Son1 what the difference is between a 2 dimensional square and a 3 dimensional cube. "You can hold a cube" was the reply. Clever clogs

Far be it for me to show off, but I worked out the twist in the film "Moon" 45 seconds into the movie. FANTASTIC film, watch it!

Today Son3 has shown the first signs of the "separation anxiety" phase. He cries everytime we disappear from sight. Quite sweet really.

I have a bruise on my lip from being punched... embarrassingly, by my 3 month old baby.

Brother still not well. Worried that my mother is under a lot of pressure now. They live to far away from me to "pop in" & help.

I am on a bus now. Sitting in traffic. Anyone spotted I only "tweet" when bored stiff. An iPhone, an iPhone, my Kingdom for an iPhone.

Landed in UK. I always wonder; after the plane taxis & stops. Whats is that noise you hear, like a baboon being repeatedly punched. Anyone?

A long week, starting my journey home now. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with the family.

Quite depressing - the Raddison in Amsterdam is so familiar to me now it is almost a home away from home.

Good evening out with the team. Lonely hotel for the night. Going to try and skype my OH, completely exhausted.

Landed in Amsterdam. To the business man sitting in 9A, yes, we all heard you loudly break wind, coughing didnt cover it up.

Off to Amsterdam in the morning, business not pleasure as usual. Missing them already.

Yay, beer & ukulele night at Darren's / the pub.

Held up at customer site. Heading to airport now, this is going to be a bit close. If I miss the flight I will be severely p*ssed off!

I might be a grown adult but sometimes I want to stamp my feet and shout "I want to go home". Thankfully it's not long now.

Sorry for another whinging update but for breakfast at the hotel this morning, garlic sausage, just what I needed before my business meeting

As I always say; When in Belgium, eat at a tacky Mexican themed burger joint. Nice town but i'm lonely. At least they have beer- Corona! :)

Wankiest marketing statement seen on a billboard today - "set your watch to 'me' time". Idiots.

Old maid with spikey gray hair in T5 security. Extremely rude to everyone. "Randomly" selected every asian that came through. Little hitler

Off to Belgium today. Back tomorrow. I hate leaving my family, never used to get homesick. Now it starts as soon as i leave for the airport.

Bad dreams all night. Worried about my Brother who is in hospital at the moment. Hope he recovers soon.

Ow my head. Delayed hangover kicking in. Feels like someone filled my head with hot mercury.

Oh Right, Peewee Herman was the voice of Max in Flight of the Navigator. So obvious, why didn't I know that before now.

District 9 Plot Holes: 8) Remote control tractor beam, what, did they just FORGET they had that? Sorry - there are more but I will stop now

Not seen District 9? Don't read any of my previous updates, it might spoil the "plot". Also don't watch the trailer, the whole plot is there

District 9 Plot Holes: 7) So, Human's can understand the aliens but can't speak alien & all aliens can understand English but can't speak it

District 9 Plot Holes: 6) I'm sorry, where is the main alien going at the end?

District 9 Plot Holes: 5) So, Humans make aliens sign legal eviction papers but shoot them for not standing still. Seems disjointed.

District 9 Plot Holes: 4) Why is super powerful alien rocket fuel inexplicably lying around in rubbish dumps?

District 9 Plot Holes: 3) Why didn't they have fuel to get back?

District 9 Plot Holes: 2) Why did they come?

District 9 Plot Holes: 1) If the aliens had all these super powerful weapons are a oppressed by humans, why didn't they use them?

Watched District 9 the other day. Love Sci-Fi, utterly underwhelmed by this. Massive plot holes, badly thought out, poorly executed.

Son2's first day at school today, he yelled for a bit, poor little man. With 1 & 2 out of the house it is uncannily quiet. I don't like it.

Been dieting for a week now. Lost 2lbs so far. Not bad considering I haven't exercised, simply cut food portions to a third. It's killing me

Probably going to finish the penthouse apartment on my bird restaurant & hotel later today. It is massive. Will have to upload photos.

Sister-in-law's birthday today, heading over there to see her & her 2 little boys. Then on to Arundel to visit some antique shops & castle.

At walking with dinosaurs at wembley. Son1 & son2 are pretty scared, but can't look away. Son1 terrified surprisingly! They love it really.

Can't help but laugh at all the people heading to Cornwall this bank holiday weekend. All the good weather is everywhere else (as usual).

My 2nd work award trophy came today. As cynical as I am, I do love getting awards :o) I'm v lucky to work for a great company who value me

Driving home, the new car started asking me questions & responding to my bemused answers! Seems dealer didn't know it had voice recognition!

I am all giddy with anticipation. Like a kid on Christmas eve. I WANT MY CAR NOW!

Feeling really happy for my sister-in-law who had her second son yesterday. Can't wait to meet him.

All I want is a 2007 Ford S-Max Titanium 2.0 or 2.2 TDCi <30K Miles with a Sun Roof and I don't want it in BLOODY SILVER! DAMN IT!

Looked at a Ford S-Max yesterday. Loved it. Came home, talked to OH, went back to buy it. Some other bugger bought it. Recession my arse :(

Watching ukulele orchestra of great Britain, they f@#king rock and i am not being ironic

Didn't think this through. Sent my two boys into a maze together. They ran in different directions, havent seen them for a while.

At farm park with son1 & son2. Watching them play together in the soft play area. Good team work going on. Son1 is a great older brother.

Cycling down the canal path with son2. Inevitably confronted by angry staffordshire bull terrier & owner saying "He's just being friendly"

Son2 spent the day with grandparents, auntie & cousin. He is only 2.5. I really missed him. Felt weird not having him around.

Walking around Woking today. Where the aliens landed! Telling son1 all about "war of the worlds" he is really interested. OH at home with s3

Feeling pretty much 100% better today. Now my wife is starting to come down with a cold :( All the boys seem to be healthy which is good

Son3 is back home as of yesterday evening. Hard first night for all. He settled at 3am & we all got some sleep. To top it off I have a cold

Watching for how long an old lady would queue behind a "traffic jam" of parked cars. A long time it turns out. Teehee

Son3 was born today at 6:50pm 8lbs 4oz. Mother and Baby doing well, we called him . Very happy.

At the hospital with my wife waiting for a bed, lucky pants don't fail me now.

still nothing

No baby yet... watch this space

At the Guildford Steam Railway open day with the boys. Penny resting. Lovely sunny day.

Blimey Margeret Thatcher invented Mr Whippy ice cream! Sorry - I am trying to think of something other than labour pain.

OH thinks she might finally be going into labour. Doesn't want to go to hospital yet, but crumbs, it might be happening! (Good guess Darren)

I am going to regret this. For a limited time only, here's a song I recorded for my Wife to cheer her up http://budurl.com/tybtm

STILL WAITING FOR BABY 3 TO ARRIVE. Talk about fashionably late. At least I've completed all my work & much more. I am ready now! Let's go!

Wondering is D&G had a great time at Guilfest. They haven't surfaced on any social network sites, I sense a hangover ;)

Got my TM300 camcorder from camerabox, it's very good/confusing. In town today with just the boys. Looking for gifts "from the baby" ;)

One of life's minor cruelties, people are always interested in the arrival of the baby when it is the mother that really needs the support.

Waiting for camcorder & baby to arrive via postman & stork respectively. Hopefully in that order as the baby was justification for purchase.

OH is back from the hospital. Son3 is fine in there. Not much room to shuffle hence the false alarm over lack of movement. Not long now PHEW

I'm babysitting, OH is off to hospital for a check-up, reduced movement. Quite usual apparently, but I'm starting to worry, hope she is OK.

In walks Son2, straight to my guitar. Strumming away, his face lights up. Worried the metal strings might ping, I just bought him a Ukulele!

Discussing Our Songs with OH, when we first dated http://blip.fm/~9h7n8 then it was http://blip.fm/~9h7k9 now it is http://blip.fm/~9h78a :)

Swine Flu worry again. Newborns are high risk for complications, luck if he avoids it. GPs advise not to come in with SF. So what do you do?

Watching Bronson. Brilliant. Real parallels with A Clockwork Orange (movie). Backdrop of bleak 70's & 80's Britain. Stirring classical music

But it all looks so delicious http://ping.fm/z3bdj

Celebrating in-laws return with a bbq, hope the weather holds out.

Watching "Religulous", I am giggling all the way through it. Just brilliant. Watch it.

Oi, youth! Pull your trousers up and less of the attitude. Start earning some more money to pay our national debt.

Went to see Ice Age 3, it was good fun, Son1 & 2 loved it. Entered cinema in glorious sunshine, came out to cold rain and wind :( actually forget that... :)

My in-laws are back from their grand voyage around Europe. They were greatly missed, especially by the grandchildren. Welcome Back!

Just saw my claymation introduce Family Guy on BBC3. Cool, I should tune in more often. I guess they use it all the time? Bored of it yet?

Just watched Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. IMDB rating 6.8. That is 7.8 more than I would give it. Thus ends sh*t film night.

Just watched "Bride Wars". IMDB rate it as 4.9 out of 10, which, in my opinion, is 4.9 too many. Now watching "HOME" in HD oooooh.

..... too..... hot... to... update.... social.... networking..... sites *THUD*

11:20pm off to bed, pick up the korg kaossilator BAM it's midnight & I have a string of unreleased classic trance tracks

Sitting in my home office with the air con blasting away, windows shut, blind drawn. HOT!

Putting up shelves in the garage. OH on a an ice lolly run (her craving). Hot today. Been in the garden most of it.

OH rested & feeling much better. Back from town. Got a big metal spinning see-saw for 9 quid! Unreal! Kids are on it now

Other half woke up at 3:30am & couldnt get back to sleep. Trying to think of activity to get kids & me out of the house.

BBC News "World Mourns Pop Legend Jackson" Again the hysterical minority, over-represented by media, isolate the emotionally stable majority

Poor OH, she is doing such a great job but it is really difficult managing 2 kids and a big bump. I shouldn't moan about my workload.

5th wedding anniversary today. Although I didn't know that when I woke up. Luckily OH forgot too, so a quick run to shop fixed everything!

So, Michael Jackson is dead. Just watched "Knowing" & "Fanboys", both quite good. Right, off to bed.

Can't wait for Kaossilator to arrive. Although I won't have a chance to play until tonight. Too much work. OH is doing fine, any day now! XD

Pub quiz result. Team "knackered dads" result fifth out of 5 teams. No prize. Only 4 bottles of wine this week. Not even a win by default.

Ordered Korg Kaossilator. 1 step closer to my dream; teaming up with Darren on Ukulele to tap into the George Formby/Folk/Electronica market

At son1's school for his final pre-start visit. I'm quite nervous for some reason. He's fine. Loves it. Would probably live here if he could

Realised, I'm only happy if I am busy. Which might explain the 2.9 kids. Everything is hitting me at once currently. Early to bed all week.

At a bbq/house warming/birthday party thing. Under tumulous skies. Being attacked by kids on a bouncy castle. Great fun. Pretty tired.

Sitting in a Valletta in cafe. Day 2 of business trip. Heading to airport 4 home soon. Uncomfortably hot. Putting world to rights with Andy.

Bored business travellers. After a morning shower write message of doom on foggy mirror with hair gel. Reappears for next guest!

Stepping off the plane in Malta, the air hits you like a hot towel (not that you would ever see one of those on a easyjet flight)

Everytime I fly (sl) Easyjet I regret it. Malta flight waiting at gate because they failed to organise a tug to push the plane out. Idiots!!

In taxi to airport. Visiting Malta on business. Back tomorrow. I always get nerves but this time I'm more worried about baby coming early :(

Stressful day running around trying to get my PC fixed. IT were stars. Family made me a cake & special dinner + pressies! Good day after all

My birthday today. Family are being lovely. Sadly virus on PC means whole day sitting with IT. 3am start tomorrow, business trip Malta :(

Just gave OH a SONY CP-1 internet photo frame, she loves it. Hope she has time to look at it.

Just baited a non-lethal rat trap. Lady next door likes to feed the birds, I haven't the heart to tell her about the rats she is attracting.

Watching Valkyrie a WWII story about an attempted assassination of Hitler. Good, only spoiled by the surreal casting. Tom Cruise, come on!

Watching "Australia" with Clint Eastwood... sorry.. Hugh Jackman. I get confused. It is quite good so far. OH says it is "OK".

Having a last minute BBQ, fantastic day, lovely weather. Train rides with DGD&L were fun. Watching kids in the paddling pool right now.

Currently riding on a minature railway train at Mizens.

No luck finding a kaossilator today. OH made lovely chicken salad w. vegetables from A&G's garden. Roomba is clearing up. OH zonked on sofa

On the park&ride bus into town with the Family. Lunch & window shopping, maybe even real shopping for a KORG Kaossilator

I love Kids by MGMT. But as a father the music video is so abhorrent to me. I hope this was green screened http://ping.fm/hVAEx

"OH" sent me on ANOTHER ice cream run ;)

Hard week. I love to be busy, can't stand being bored (I, like nature, abhor a vacuum). Anyway TGIF, almost said TFIF but no call for that.

Bought Penny her belated Birthday Present (number 2). I am not usually this bad, but this one took a lot of research. Finally got it :)

Anyone know where I can get a Korg Kaossilator for a good price in the UK? (It is a birthday present to me)

My Bro-in-law got onto a fast track promotion program today! Well done mate! Hardest working guy I know.

Played Battleforge with Gary instead of watching England beat Andorra 6-0. So geeky I'm cool? I like to think so. In all honesty I forgot :(

Always listen to hear the kids breathing before I can sleep. Son2 I can hear from the landing. Son1 is only audible 2" from his face. :)

Did a bit of haggling with Virgin Media, got a 50Mbit broadband upgrade, no contention ratio, a completely unmanaged line. Pretty cool

Hey you scientist types! Stop curing diseases & cloning sheep, just answer me this; Why does hot orange squash make you cough?

Looks like I got my wish, held out long enough for my family to recover from their colds. Now I have the man version of it. Feel awful.

Tumulous skies yesterday & blazing sun / icy storms today. Clearing attic, shed & garage today. Trying to get all the cr

Son1, 4.5yrs, borrowed my SLR & mingled taking photos. Then walked up to a table of 12 shouting "I took a picture of that lady's bottom" :o

Well, the wedding is great. Dull weather, but lots of booze, a hog roast and a live band. Great stuff.

Off to a cousin-in-law's wedding reception this afternoon. Raining out :( Kids have been a bit snotty and wife not feeling 100% ah well! :)

I REALLY NEED more Baby Name suggestions! 1 month to go and nothing has made (my) list yet! Please Please Retweet

Took Son1 on a visit to his new school today. He loved it running around, getting in the drawers, sketching dinosaurs on the PC. Relieved :)

In pain again from my manliness training at Darren's house. Weight lifting, Beer & UFC. In pain again. Starting to see a difference already!

I ask you, is there anything better than a rubarb & custard boiled sweet on a Friday afternoon. Ahh, simple pleasures.

Oi! Online Grocery Home Deliver Stores - give me free delivery and I might start using your service. £8.95 a month! Bloody rip off Britain.

I'm disapponted, no protest vote parties represented in my area. Investigating standing for Monster Raving Loony Party next time. Seriously.

Hot then muggy day today. Geez - I am turning into a weather forecaster. More interesting updates soon I promise.

Like telecom company, middle management, non-fiction? YES?! Then "Sent from Overseas" is for you http://ping.fm/KYNLP

HOT HOT HOT! Wow, I am hot (temperature wise). What a lovely day. Sun shining. Kids splashing in paddling pool. Everything is green & lovely

Off to a car boot sale - ROCK & ROOOOOOOOOOLL BABY

Watching Britain's got "Talent". I don't want too, but it is so arse cringingly awful I cannot stand up. Childhood obesity, hilarious. :¬/

In pain today. Weight lifting with Darren last night. He is trying to kill me :)

Panoramic, interactive view of the new Star Trek Enterprise Bridge. http://ping.fm/1xdpT Click it, you know you want to.

Dreaming of a nice swim - http://ping.fm/XWPW1

Booking Flights to Malta in June. Business not pleasure sadly. Shame. Hopefully will have time to see some sights.

Depressed mood today. I like my job but first day back at work after hols might have something to do with it.

At a bbq at d&g's. HOT day today.

Watching Donnie Darko for the gazillionth time. One of my all time favourite movies. Really want a Frank the Rabbit costume.

Lack of sleep, no sunglasses, too much drink, too little food = migraine. Heading home from rugby soon. Early.

Twickenham rugby sevens score update: England 20 France 14

With friends at the rugby sevens games at Twickenham today. I know nothing about the game. Not a fan of any sport or team. Good atmos here.

New object of media driven public fury - Raymond Hewlett. Sharpen your pitchforks angry mobs everywhere.

HOME! Yay. Good to be back.

Pendower was lovely. Sunny & warm. Kids got wet through and sandy. Back to Dads for a bath. Hope to ride in his MGTD later b4 journey home.

Heading down to Pendower for the last stroll on the beach before we head back this afternoon.

Prince Andrew when asked "Are you enjoying the Devon County Show?" replied, "As much as one can", penis.

Quote. Me "Doesn't it feel like we're in an old American cowboy saloon" Wife "Feels like an old shed near Padstow to me"

Heading to "Spirit of the West" an American old west theme park in cornwall. Yeeha! Home, home on the raaaaange...

Back at cottage. Bacon, sausage & egg for son 1 & 2. They're exhausted as usual. Must be doing something right :) Walk on beach later maybe.

Lappa Valley is charming & quaint, the kids love it. Mum already tried forcing more gifts on us, from a SACK! Bro acting odd for a change X)

Message from son2 to grandma & granddad: "I have a robot velociraptor" (dictated but not read)

Off to Lappa Valley today. The boys love trains. Meeting Mum who is dragging my Bro along against his will so we can pretend we get on. :(

Watching "come dine with me" with astonished amusement. They are all suck complete c@cks! Wow. Just wow.

Left Flambards now. Mum tried to transfer a CAR LOAD of presents onto us AGAIN! Day ended with usual frustration, irritation & guilt. Tx mum

Message from a rollercoaster

Mum has turned up to meet us at Flambards, my brother who lives with her didn't come, makes life easier. sadly she keeps buying us things :(

On king harry ferry heading to flambards. River has 7 car transporter ships moored here permanently! Sign of the times.

Dad (grandad) is reading the boys a frog & toad story. Maybe off to Flambards tomorrow, weather permitting. The boys love the rollercoaster.

Back on the ferry. Boys loved running up & down sandy dunes. Lovely sunny day. Strong fresh breeze. Boys ruddy-faced.

On the ferry from padstow to rock now. Going to climb some dunes.

In Padstow today. Lovely little town. Ruined by that weird chef, whatever he is called. Who cares.

Mass baptism in the sea at Newquay today. V funny. My boys had a paddle & both managed to fall in. Wonder if that means they're methodists?!

Rain rain rain. Damn. Brightening later they say. Heading to aquarium soon. Kids are having great time, we are relaxed which is the point

Lovely bright sunny evening. Would love to take my Wife for a walk on the beach, but have to look after kids of course

Walking on pendower with son2, barely a single other person on the beach. Son1 finallly ran out of energy, zonked in car

Heading in to town with Dad & L for a wander. Wife has gone ahead in hope the boys will sleep a little. Sunny Day now.

Just back from a walk on the beach sitting in cottage. Son1 got soaked, as usual :) showery day. Tea brewing.

On the road at the moment. Kids in the back being very good thanks to an in-car DVD we borrowed. Thanks D&G!

Anyone want to join my steam clan http://ping.fm/auHVT We play left 4 dead & are playing Killing Floor tonight a 7pm! (UK Time)

Note to self. When both my Wife & the Roomba have been busy cleaning. DON'T walk into the room & complement the hard working robot

Most annoying customer service message. Virgin Media tech support line "Right, let's get you some help". Patronised by a robot

Quite looking forward to "Killing Floor" being released this evening on Steam. Probably having a game with hoot. Should be more zombie fun.

My wife's installing deadlock on the front door. Emasculated, I came downstairs to help drill. Now have grit in eye so wife is finishing it.

My wife's installing deadlock on the front door. Immasculated, I came downstairs to help drill. Now have grit in eye so wife is finishing it

"Find me a family" a new series Channel 4, essentially a game show where the winning kid & couple successfully adopted. A new low.

Quite looking forward to tonight left 4 dead zombie bash. Got a full team playing. Always more enjoyable.

Back home, knackered. Having a relax. Kids playing with play dough. I'm looking forward to a zombie bash tonight.

Doing a car boot today, selling stuff. Forced to wear a very stupid hat as I am getting sun stroke. So hot. Fun though.

Some friends visited today and brought lunch. Played all day in the garden, then a quick ride on the bikes. Tired but happy kids now in bed.

Another highly motivated day today, I would love to know what triggers these bursts of energy.

First US face transplant revealed... hmmm, that went well. :| http://ping.fm/Np0JU

Chopped an old desk down added the iMac & made a toddler internet cafe for the boys. At the pub with Darren now.

Aww, the Tuesday after a bank holiday weekend. Nothing in life is more depressing than this moment :�(

Heading off to the village fete. I love being an Englishman in jolly old quaint England in this lovely spring we are having.

Just bought my boys an apple iMac. Son1 is only 4 & loves drawing with a mouse, so I'll get him a graphic tablet for it

Another great game night with Hoot & Mags. Depressing running total of 54 hrs, 165 games & 14572 zombies killed on Left 4 Dead (l4d) so far

Went to a car boot sale & saw an LP for sale by an artist called "Wayne King", oh how I laughed. In other news Son1 (4) addicted to Peggle.

I wonder, from whose sick imagination did the idea of a whole chicken in a can come http://ping.fm/yxmBd

Bright warm sunny day and I can't think of a thing to do. Damn my lack of imagination. Don't fancy mingling with crowds.

Ahh, the Friday evening leading to a bank holiday weekend. Nothing in life is sweeter than this moment :D

Whenever someone visits my desk, I quickly load this http://ping.fm/2qRmQ it helps me maintain my sinister bond-villain persona.

The whole of Europe is off today, apart from the UK (boo). But I'm not skiving :) I'm taking advantage & catching up with work backlog.

Come on, it's Friday, time to play the dubious "Pick the Perp" http://picktheperp.com/

Cbeebies "Take A Bow" should be called "Exploit a child". Like the 2yr old "genius" story doing the rounds, someone get that kid a childhood

I was just thinking left 4 dead could really do with a crossroads mall level as in Dawn of the Dead !BINGO! http://ping.fm/M30qP

This is by far the most comprehensive & detailed map tracking the Swine Flu outbreak <a href="http://ping.fm/C3Q1j">http://ping.fm/C3Q1j</a>

British chief medical adviser on swine flu "most of those affected will recover", well, thanks for that, very reassuring :(

Done something uncharacteristically paranoid tonight. Trust me, I'm the head of the herd of sheep-like behaviour we'll see tomorrow. Watch.

WHO raise the Swine Flu alert to a level 5 (out of 6). Not feeling so silly about the mask purchase now. Worried for my family :(

Anyone want a fight - COME ON! http://ping.fm/NmZr9

Back from a follow-up appointment at the hospital, this time a scan. Everything is fine. Baby is 3lb 4oz and still got 10 weeks to go! GULP

When I visited Rhodes I remember these beautiful coniferous trees that were very tall & slim. Does anyone know their name?

A series of strange events led to me getting in contact with an old friend from Primary School, also a geek now - like me. Hi Paul!

Looks like things are OK, false alarm, which is good because my wife is a long way off being due. Still at hospital doing tests. Phew.

In hospital now

Cancelled my meetings to take pregnant wife to doctor. Severe back ache, hope it isn't kidney trouble or worse - labour!

I hope I'll laugh at this move in the future, but the 1st thing that ran out with SARS was FFP3 masks. Swine flu is worse so I ordered some.

Sat here worrying about Swine Flu and watching "The Fog", a really brilliant horror film.

OMG! The best (most geeky?) thing I have found on t'internet Ghost Cloud Computing http://ping.fm/fvUAF check it

Monday morning and, for a change, it is peeing down outside after a lovely weekend. Kids are all happy. Son2 wasn't sleeping last night :(

I've watched 5 minutes of "My Life as an Animal" it is so stupid and faux intellectual, I feel annoyed at my wasted license fee. Off to bed.

Got a lot done in the garden today. Weather fantastic. Cleared loads of junk over to the dump (very cathartic). Laid a path with John.

Son1 commented on my weight. Pointing out I was big. Not being negative, in fact looking forward to being as big as me. Made me feel sad.

Walked down to breakfast this morning, the boys sitting quietly, Penny baking lemon cookies. She is a super mum. Amazing.

Man - I am such a kid I CANNOT WAIT to take my kids to see Where the Wild Things Are http://ping.fm/riCuG

Health Advice - avoid sneezing pigs - night all. Armageddonouttahere.

Take a break from mourning the death of Bea Arthur for 5 minutes. Here's the map of the approaching swine flu http://ping.fm/seOvw

Watching Franklyn, it is an interesting film but every step is entirely predictable. Good though. Different.

Watching Frost/Nixon, the film needs more killer robot zombies from space. My wife agrees.

I have been sent out on a Chinese food run. Not that I am complaining.

Anyone fancy joining my gaming clan? http://ping.fm/R7hMQ We play left 4 dead mainly. Probably playing tonight. NE1 up for it?

Morning after the night before. Feels like someone has switched my brain with molten lead. Chasing Son2 around now :) Son1 not well :(

Alright there twittersdphere, I am pretty tipsy now, my mate has gone tot he bog. Anyone out thjere?

Arrgh, coming up to 11pm, feeling decidely (is that spelt righjt) tipsy. So much for the "quick one" sorry plop. X

At t'pub with Darren, what started as a quick one is rapidly turning into a long one. Not sure what my darling dearest will say, I'm a stereotype.

Put the final part of my plan into action. I am not finally free of my old facebook profile and the dubious people that were following me.

Inspirational quotation, amusing satirical reference, astute observation, endearing social commentary. Closing trite platitude.

changed "exercise night" to "eat ice cream and watch on-demand TV night". Ordered Buzz Quiz for my PS3, something to do this wet weekend.

Watching "Paid in Full" why do they put these great films on so damn late. I'm going to feel it in the morning.

Skateboarded to the shop and back. I am thirty-something, but why should I stop doing something I love just because "adults" don't do it.

Don't you hate it when you can't tell if a question is rhetorical or not?

Would it be wrong to celebrate earth day with a massive smokey BBQ?

Oh heck, it's earth day tomorrow and I haven't bought any earth day cards or plastic gifts for anyone.

Invited to my first BBQ of the year tonight. Cool. Looking forward to it.

Twitter fixed the search problem. Now when you search for "Dad" I am number 1 on twitter thanks to all my lovely followers.

Yuk - someone just emailed me some slow motion sneezing NICE http://ping.fm/y4Lww

You have to admire Bill Gates. Imagine if a car company were able to sell everyone a car that continually slowed and stopped for no reason.

OH NO! This is too much fun! WHO WANTS TO FIGHT MY BRUTE?! http://ping.fm/62GWu Bring it on.

Just like U2 I never know what to do on a Sunday. I wake up and say, Sunday bloody Sunday, I know what you mean Bono ;¬) Pub maybe? Hmmm

Watchin' Family Guy. Considering a game of Peggle on the DS, Damn that game is addictive, probably be up till 2am playing it again :¬(

Great to see al cyn and baby today. Walking back from chip shop. Can't face cooking, nor can my wife. Lovely spring day.

It's Friday! Damn, remembered I am swimming 1km for charity tonight (I don't like to talk about all my work for charity). I am so unfit :(

Feeling frustrated, unmotivated, depressed and stressed, 5 hours of bad sleep.

Bloody hell, why am I surfing the social networks, I have a meeting at 8:30am, need some sleep. Night Night world.

Tell your kids that the ice cream van only plays music to let people know they have run out of ice cream (joke) #dadtip

Being a good father is pretending to be excited about being asked to read the same bedtime story every night for a week #dadtip

People who talk about the concept of "sleeping like a baby" obviously don't have any of their own. #dadtip

Throw out all cleaning products, baby wipes replace them all, they could probably clean the inside of a nuclear reactor. #dadtip

You can gauge the age of fellow parent's children by the height of the snot marks smeared on trousers and skirts. #dadtip

Wow, the world's smallest aeroplanes - astounding http://ping.fm/xW74X

First we are told that our kitchen surfaces host more bacteria than a toilet seat, now we should worry about FLYING GERMS. A culture of fear

ARRGH, "The Hospital" has only been on for a few minutes and I am already planning the assassination of 3 people.

Finding it hard to focus and stay motivated today. Lots to do, but an unwilling brain. Coffee time I think.

Today I am mainly scrubbing bugs and blipping on blip.fm (keeps me sane)

Oooh - the BBC are bringing back Red Dwarf http://ping.fm/XmdQm Cool!

Watching Jerry Bruckheimer's King Arthur, slightly less historically accurate than Monty Python's version.

Heck, just occured to me, walking to the pub is the only exercise I am getting recently :)

Playing hide and seek with my two boys and my nephew. Fantastic hot sunny day.

Finally got the sunny day I was after. Spending day with kids, inlaws and nephew. Son2 asleep in the car. Need to find sun cream.

Heading into town, house was a mess so I have trusted the roomba to clean the house unsupervised. Somehow doing so always makes me nervious.
