But it was a very late comment.<BR/><BR/>You, my good fellow, are a very young man.<BR/><BR/>I too once said never, for about a million reasons. All of them good.<BR/><BR/>I had a less-than-satisfactory upbringing. As a result I try to be a better father myself. <BR/><BR/>The way I look at it: My father was Shite. As a result, my own children reap the benefit of someone who knows all the bad stuff and studiously avoids it because they have been on the recieving. I am a better father because my own was so shit.<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling. Don't write yourself off is what I'm trying to say.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what's happening with you?Tired Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463536844672270826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24860222.post-1162844575233176532006-11-06T20:22:00.000+00:002006-11-06T20:22:00.000+00:00i m nevah breedini m nevah breedinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24860222.post-1162298437121432022006-10-31T12:40:00.000+00:002006-10-31T12:40:00.000+00:00Bloody hell.Well said that lady.

(hey look, we're both TD's) <BR/><BR/>I had Poatpartum depression so badly I had to be kept away from the knives and couldn't go swimming('cos I had this uncontrollable urge to just keep swimming and never come back). The idea of some dingdong blubbing about how he was traumatised seeing a birth and is so depressed infuriates me. <BR/><BR/>The day he lies sobbing on a couch and prays to God to let him die in his sleep, THEN I'll believe in male PND.

I was also extremely pissed. Jax was born on Friday 13th at 3am. I was ejected from the delivery room after insisting on checking her head for 666 by a very large Jamaican midwife who had taken over as the little Asian thought I was nuts. I then dialled random phone numbers to announce Jax's entrance into the world. Several complete strangers wished me congratulations. Several more said "Fuck off". I enjoyed the occasion. The hospital banned me therefore we settled on having the one.

M Power 3 or whatever [get it? mp3? cos men dig the techno shit] that was battery powered and emitted sonic waves or some such)but the fact that 'men' under the age of thirty are GAGGING for this. CHRIST.<BR/><BR/>Clare: No. You sound perfectly sensible. 1: You care not for the unnecessary 'i' and 2: you sound like you are capable of leaving the house without three hours notice. I suggest you are the future.<BR/><BR/>Clare again: You are now over-thinking this.<BR/><BR/>M_G again: I agree. The fact that it is starting to drive men round the bend as much as women is a cause for deep concern. For one, there will be not a couple in the world who are capable of leaving the house within six hours.<BR/><BR/>The hospitality trade will die as a result.<BR/><BR/>But we'll all look OK with nowhere to go.<BR/><BR/>Men will fret about their cuticles (whatever the fuck they are) and women will wonder why they can't get a man to take them somewhere O.K. and then grab them by the hair in an authentically non-moisturising manner and do bad things.<BR/><BR/>Oh well.

Stay messy.<BR/><BR/>I have no problem with keeping yourself neat and presentable, mind, I just resent cosmetics companies upping the ante on appearance all the time. It's just now that the mens' market is starting to catch up with the womens' market, and is encouraging an ever more meticulous attention to detail, which no-one should really have to be that bothered about. These sorts of issues aren't trivial, however. They really do drive some people round the bend.<BR/><BR/>I'll shut my face now.

What's the word for removing bits of dead skin? That's the one I meant. I don't do that either. I think of it like humus, which is dead organic matter and very good for your garden. I reckon the same applies to skin. And the hair counts as ground cover, which is good for keeping weeds away. As for moisturising... oh well, I never did water my garden very often.

A ghastly business, I'm sure, but the fact that one news item relates to it should not automatically trigger a vast discussion about what it is and what it means. Something happened.
