I also once left an unfinished manuscript on a tube ... of dentifrice.

Doesn't it make you feel sick - especially coming from someone who can't even organize his hair properly, never mind the complexities of a place like London!

This really belongs on the Happy Room thread, since grandbaby number three arrived at 6.15pm local time, but since the answering machine message from daughter number two babysitting the older children ended with "no-one's picking up, so **** y'all", it's going in here.

(rhymes with truck)

When I finally called back (after dealing with a flooded basement) and suggested that the greeting wasn't entirely appropriate, she hung up before I could say anything else, then called back to speak to (her) Mom and advise her to strangle me tonight.

I get this sort of thing fairly often, but it never gets any easier.  And this is after four years of (her) counselling.

Indeed Kitty. Congrats from me. Ive 17 grand vhildren but as their parents dont talk to us, well we just let them get on with it. their stupdity, etc.

Me and the wife, ofcourse miss the grandchildren, but if the children behave like that, well, let them get on with it. Actually on the otherside of the coin, its blissfully peace and quiet!!!

Thank you BBM and Mort for your congratulations (and GG who very thoughtfully posted the relevant bit to the Happy Room). Grandling no.3 is pink, not that I set much store by colour-coding them.

Congratulations indeed Kitty, especially for having a pink one. That is very clever!  I only have blue ones. 

Why do so many male City types wear pink shirts nowadays?


Congrats, Kitty!
