Is 'bloody warm' a mood? It's a bit claggy. The summer duvet has just been given an airing

Isn't the paralympic mascot the one with the really short arms? It's the one who looks like it's pissed itself.

Didn't Wendy Gibson marry Paddy McDee? My dad always had a thing for Kathy Secker...

Sick, sick, sick. The baby bug has been passed on..

Sod CT, get some photos up man!

Not at all I'm grand thanks, I just smell a bit of baby poo..

Is there any need to take TT downmarket? You manage that all on your own dahling Pud - picnic sounds luverly. The Fraggle has got a horrible vomiting/diarrhoea bug at the mo so I don't dare venture too far from the house

Blatantly stolen from N-O but thought we could do with one over here. Just somewhere to rant/vent/whinge/celebrate when you've nothing to add to the other topics of the day...

Go on petal (Biddy, not maggiespaws..)

I'll be back on nights in a few weeks so I can resume my staring-blankly-at-the-board routine at 4am.

I'm not getting into any political debates on here because I'm nowhere near eloquent enough or knowledgeable enough to be able to do any debate justice but I just want to say that I'm really quite inspired by our own Miss Biddy and what she is doing. I'm still in touch and she has always been focused, motivated and passionate about making people's lives better and I'm really proud of her. She's on leave from her job as a women's refuge manager and has been working flat out on her campaign. Good luck to her. It's easy to be cynical about MP's but in this case I can honestly say that she will be one who does her utmost to make things better for ordinary people.

You're an enormous, flouncing pussycat

A rather nice chardonnay

Aha, I think the Christmas hangover experience may have just been a blip. I more than deserved to have one yesterday morning after being out from before the match on Saturday until stupid o'clock in the morning. I was in a right merry haze by the time I got home to the parents house but woke up bright and early Sunday with nothing more than a bit of dehydration. This time I managed to take the bairn to church without retching inbetween hymns. It was nice to catch up with the peeps that were out. Sorry that I missed Ritchie but it's a good excuse for a summer catch up

Tilleys very early doors, Trent from 1pm (cos it's closer ) then Trent after. Then I'm meeting the lads from work later on in Ouseburn so it could get quite messy...

It's absolutely the same. He's like a Tasmanian devil and just crawls round at a ridiculous speed wreaking havoc all over the place. Thing is, even at his age he knows there's certain things he can't touch. He'll go towards the DVD player, turn and look at me and start shaking his head even before I've said no The cats are all freaked out by him

Airspace in Scotland is to open from 0700 tomorrow as dust from the Icelandic volcano ceases to affect UK airspace. Sky sources understand airspace in the Midlands will then reopen at 1200 and southern UK at 1800. It's understood that UK airports will then be allowed to conduct operations 24 hours a day until the flight situation returns to normal.

I remember having the back of my legs smacked by my mam but can't remember what for. It bloody stung like mad and left a handprint so I don't think I did it again - whatever it was! At the moment the bairn is only 13 months old so I've never had to 'discipline' him for anything more than trying to use my mobile phone or slavvering over the tv remote. Whilst I don't think it should be made illegal, smacking is not something I'd advocate or use as a first line of discipline.

That'll likely be him, aye. Or at least he'd developed one when I last saw him at Christmas (appropriately enough). I think it's a very Lib Dem way of having a second mid-life crisis. I was looking for a family resemblance but there was too much hair

Slightly off-topic but Meenzer - does your dad have a Santa Claus beard? If so then I keep seeing him on the local news with regards to various lercal political habdabs!

Anyone about? Trent from 1pm - I've got a babysitter!

I have to finally concede that after a lifetime of not getting hangovers and pissing many people off because of it, I now occasionally suffer. The prime example being after a night out at Christmas (after these here board meal and drinkies) I ended up going out with my brother and then my dad, can't remember the walk home and apparently my mother had to put me to bed as I was staying at their house. The next morning I had told my mam I'd go to church with her and we'd take the bairn. I thought I was going to die. Every time the baba dropped his toy and I had to bend down to pick it up there were explosions going off in my head and it was all I could do not to puke behind a pew. Good, classy Catholic girl, me...

Can we have pics please Steve?

Maybe
