You dont need the car keys yet - the babe has to learn on a scalextric before they get to drive the alfa. Theres a 24hr Le Mans set on offer in Model Zone at the moment - you could have it all set up by the time he/she comes home.

Thanks for the kind words, I'll pass on your regards to the clan. Forgive me but I'm off for a cold one and a small blub- absolutely over the moon guys!
Catch up with all soon and yes, a christening at the poo bar would be special!

Don't know wheather this is your first child, but in that case you must have a strange night up ahead. I remember I left the hospital after my son was born and went home by myself for (whatever was left of) the night.
When you wake up tomorrow morning, it will be the last time in your own home this quiet! ;D

Have a drink and a cigar on me.

LM related names is easy, plus a play on words AND is also a ladies name, Portia, or Porcia for Porsche. Simply really, how could anyone object to such a beautiful name.
As you'll remember from your classics at school, Portia was used twice by the Bard in The Merchant Of Venice and Julius Caesar. ;D

Hi guys. What a nice suprise to get home from another long stint at the Hospital to find more kind words- you really are a great bunch and both the missus, the little ones and I are feeling the love! Cheers you guys- it means a lot :-*
All is well with Daisy and Mrs S and they will be home in the morning (which pleases me because that place is so HOT!!)
Its probably not the place but I would like to say somewhere, that despite the fact everyone knocks the NHS and the powers that be, its only when you rely on the buggers that you appreciate just what a good bunch of people they are. I have been overwhelmed by the care and effort that these fantastic human beings put in - day after day.
In the ward above my wife and Daughter this evening is a Doctor, who for whatever reason decided a few weeks ago to take lives instead of saving them by driving a burning car into the front of a packed airport. The fact that this man is being cared for, without question, shows the strength of human nature, the proffessionalism of those guys and is a wonderfull example to us all.
Gawd bless em all!
Well, I have another evening of peace and quiet to enjoy so I think I'll have another cold one!!
I fear the storms commeth in the morrow!

To Dr and Mrs Sconefinger.
Very many congratulations from us all in the Lord Steve household.
I can remember the indescribable elation when my son, Earl Jonathan Ford Pinto,was born. I went home to my little gaff in Darlo and drank "Journey Into Space" with Marks & Spencer pate on toast. Best meal I ever had!
Four years later Lady Emma Zetec Valve Gear was born.
Fact is, the last 24 (no, really) years have been the best years of my life.
Enjoy mate - girls never stop lovin' their Dads.
All the very best
