I don't really care what you name the child (so long as it macros)

What I concede about is that you follow correct procedure in the hospital delivery room.

As the doctor pronounces the child's sex (you have a bouncing baby....insert gender here etc) you must seize the baby, race to the nearest Balcony and display them to the world in all their blood covered glory, roaring "WITNESSSSSSSSSS' the the awaiting masses

^^I mean, he's not wrong.

That he's not!

WHMMHT: Booked my cottage for my slightly mad adventure holiday for my 30th next year.

This year has been horrible for me and mine so far, so I think it was the final shove to just book it and be that little bit braver than normal. Amongst more sedate stuff (I'm a big one for National Trust/English Heritage type stuff when I'm on holiday), I'm going to be doing a day of falconry on horseback with the Dartmoor Falcons, and going for a six or seven hour trek over Dartmoor on a Clydesdale horse one of the days too.

I've been working on it a few weeks, but it feels real now I've booked the cottage!

Treat Yo-self!

Just got tickets for Snow Patrol in December

Next you'll be buying a small, cheap "sports" car and trying to date younger women ...

I have a new kestrel!

She isn't at home with me - decided I couldn't cope with that at the moment, I'm not in the right place to have a small creature dependent on me at the moment, and I'm still up and down home a lot with dad post operation, but she is mine to train as she gets older. I thought I'd never do this again after losing Euros last year, but on seeing her I had all the same heart-in-throat feelings again, and it's the first time I've felt that lurch for a baby bird this year (and we've had plenty in before her and her sibling).

She's called Guinevere - and for those familiar, it was Cornwell's Guinevere I very much had in mind. There's something of that haughty attitude about this little bird!

Snow patrol are bad because... Get off Sombras lawn??

They're one of the few bands to really make it from Norn Iron, I've always been a huge fan

The sill on the new window is painted. curtains are hung, and the desk is back against the (new) window.

After a week, I can unpack all the stuff that's been put away, re-set up my PC, and enjoy my 3 day weekend

Back on the forum after a while of not logging in

Congrats Tiste! I should be back in England in September and may have to pop up your way for a drink/toast! This will depend on if I can travel that far (see messing with groove post).

Probably true

Hey BK have you read Bujold's Vorkosigan series?

[Tiste Simeon]

I spent the weekend in Edinburgh for my youngest brother's wedding. It was amazing plus there was a bunch of friends and family I haven't seen for ages, great to catch up!

Also on the way home I stopped by Bebbanburg and that was great as I love the Saxon Stories so much!

No. Isn't that a Baen bk author? I admit to judging books by their cover with them. Never read one put out by them as far as I can recall.

I would recommend picking that series up. Its insanely fun.

Is bebbanberg worth visiting Tiste?

I went a couple of years back and enjoyed it - but as castles in Northumberland go, I personally think Chillingham is a better one.

[Macros]

It would be the Cornwell connection that would need me full stop I guess. I like castles but there's a lot more famous ones I have yet to visit

[Tiste Simeon]

I really liked it - didn't have enough time to do a full walk around so we just hung around the outside and suchlike. It's in a really pleasant little town too and there's a beautiful bit of coastline around there.

[Slow Ben]

Does it count all the posts from deleted threads? I think apt and DW had a million posts each in the now defunct awesome pics and the Trickster (rip).

[Macros]

Doesn't count posts in the inn or games either?
I know they don't count on users post counts

[Tiste Simeon]

I mean BK usually writes about 26 posts where one will do so I'm fairly sure most of the 1,000,000 are his anyway!
