Knighton Matt Posted 14 August 2006 Posted 14 August 2006 How's parenthood treating you mate? All well with Team NW I hope
Nationwider Posted 14 August 2006 Posted 14 August 2006 Hello there KM - and to all the gentlefolk of FT. Reports of my demise were premature. Being a Dad is great, but very very tiring. I'd advise anyone considering whether they wish to take up Parenthood to assess whether they ever want/need to sleep again. I am lethal with the Pampers now. It's like watching a Ferrari tyre change at San Marino. Only with more crying and poo.

Pampers, that makes you a pampered Daddie, you want to try real nappies, excellent when you have to flush them in the loo to remove the excess 'poo' before sluicing them in a bucket of whatever it was we used to sluice them in. Becoming expert at fitting them entitles you to gold membership of the Oragami Association

I'm still trying to catch up, 6 years in. It gets better as they get older. You get to tut at the values of other parents in supermarkets, bore guests with how much children's clothing is in Adams and why it should be VAT free...not to mention the relocation to school catchment areas where houses cost the equivalent of Peru's national debt. I haven't seen any FT romper suits on the t-shirt page, tell Mark to pull his finger out! Here's to FT baby, NW. Tell Mrs NW to kip whenever the baby goes down...oh, and to eat the placenta.

We've kicked that ecological ball around for a while now, but have kidded ourselves into thinking that what the environment would recover in disposable nappies, it would lose through the electricity needed to wash them.

Kiddo was presented with a rather handsome LCFC teddy bear today from one of the many Baby Holders that have been seen clogging up NW Towers this week. Re: The placenta. I wasn't hungry to be honest, so I asked them to wrap it up for me and I'd have it later.

Curried Placenta, a delicasy in many regions of the world......I recommend the bhuna rather then the vindaloo!!! Good to see your helping(nappy changing etc), rather then getting drunk all the time celebrating!!!

Deathside Posted 14 August 2006 Posted 14 August 2006 Sorry Mr D. I'll quit it soon. You carry on - Don't mind me It's a bit like religion - I don't like / understand it but I know it means a lot (and brings a lot of comfort) to a lot of people
