Title: Should I go and check?
Post by: Nick on September 05, 2007, 10:11:14 AM
The Boy has been in his room for the last 2 hours and HAS NOT MADE A SOUND.

Should I go up and look or just let him get on with whatever it is?

I don't know really. I'd go out. That covers not disturbing him and being far far away when the proverbial hits the fan.

Have you had any problems with penguins in the past?

Post by: Nick on September 05, 2007, 11:30:34 AM
I am now reflecting on any past encounters with penguins. I did get one for my sister for her birthday once, but I never met it. ANyhow he has just appeared since his stomach has alerted him to the arrival of lunchtime. Where does he put all that food? noooo:

Two possibilities here:

1. Nick has a perverse taste in presents in so far as he gave a small, flightless bird from the Arseantic to his sister, or,

2. Nick is a cheapskate and only gave her a foil wrapped chocolate biscuit.

Either way, he has just confirmed his own 'oddness'!

My sister buys me frightful presents. I now reciprocate. FOr her 60th birthday I sponsored a penguin for her at Regent's Park. She had to pay to go and see it evil:

And when she went it looked like every other penguin, so she didn't know which one was hers. evil: spider:

Mrs Nick chose her present for the birthday yesterday. An emobroidered satin lined spec case. It was vile (also purple and pink) sick2:

Sister loved it (not necessarily a good result). I am still seeking revenge for the crocheted bread roll holder she bought me when I was a student spider:

My father always said the he was pleased to have two sons.
"If anyone comes knocking at my door saying 'look what your son has done to my daughter' I'll be the one standing in the warm" was his way of looking at it.
Having sons and daughters myself I know exactly what he meant.
"My son ~ got your girl pregnant you say? ~ Tough luck old boy .... Goodnight"


On the other hand ........................... It's the girl that worries me.
