Back from the hospital finally with our little one. She was born at 7:07PM on Sunday night after a lengthy labour (mom is doing fine now though, and Epidural was her favourite word)!

We named her Quinn. And she's just about the cutest little thing you've ever seen. But then I may be biased. Or she already has me wrapped around her little finger.

Huzzah!

Thanks all for the well wishes!

Dads should get complimentary epidurals too.

Congratulation.

On a completely unrelated note, Quinn is a fun champion to play in League of Legends.

Congratulations! What lovely news!

WMMHT: Looking at some more houses with Dad on Saturday morning (hopefully) and then he's coming up to falconry with me so he can see me in the flying show - owner has decided the informal flying show later in the day is for me and the other young lady to learn the ropes and once we're trained up we'll take that one ourselves. Still totally nerve-wracking but the adrenaline is like nothing else. There were about 100 people last time and I wanted to hide when I saw them!

Also, going up twice this week ^_^

more birds for me!

Now that I'm taken off that project-thing, I actually have some free time again. And I don't feel this overwhelming urge to drink anymore.

Also, my apartment is so fricking cosy, and I actually quite enjoy being on my own ^_^

And a friend bought me a 25 year old Glenmorangie for my birthday...which is in 4 months...we haven't even been friends for that long o.0

Awesome name QT. And congrats. You are in for a ride. One of the best things in your life.

Completely glowing after a second date. I think my clever girl and I are in sync. This is going to be good.

I will notify my current bestiest friend that they have been demoted. And to bring me a 30 year old bottle of Glenmorangie if they ever want to be promoted again.

Congrats QT! I'm happy everyone came through alright.

Also, the sleep thing might not be as bad as everyone suggests. My wife and I have been managing at least 6 hours a night ever since Baby Katie hit two weeks. So yeah, don't lose hope.

Just been watching old Phoenix from the Flames on YouTube.
Anyone old enough to remember?

The Peter Beardsley and Bryan Robson ones are my favs, obviously.

You should do a weekly science roundup of bug bites on the penis. Next week stick your dork in a beehive.

I used to love that segment so much.

But my 2 faves would be the Tommy Gemmell one (purely for his reaction to being kicked),

and the Ray Houghton one. The Houghton one caused a bit of a fuss in Ireland, but I thought it was really funny. Unfortunately, it would appear Uefa did a copyright claim on the youtube clip so i can't link to it.

It was a great show wan it?

WMMHRN: Had some promising news today about a job with the Renault Team in UK. Based in Oxfordshire.
Waiting on a Skype/Phone interview next week, and it seems like I have a pretty good chance.
It means I'll be home a lot more, and I won't have to compromise on my career choice.
Which I was about 3 weeks away from doing!!
😬

So yeah, I'm pretty chuffed.
Fingers crossed.
