all rumours of a small blond child being born on this date in Jakarta? LIES.

cidercupcakes, then spins her round for good measure:
Happy birthday, sweetie.
In other news - anyone up for slightly belated drinkies/dinner tomorrow or wednesday?
Yesterday, visit to Hansons. We're exposing the bro's girlfriend to our relatives gradually in order of craziness, so she got Nick first (Nick is nice and qualifies as very normal) then the Snowdens (fairly normal, though we're vaguely worried about David who's a Queen's Scout and is now working for the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme) and this sunday she got the neurotic nutters who work in tv - and mostly reality tv and game shows at that, so really the nutty end. Classic bit had to be when in the middle of a discussion about X-factor, Britney, and several other bits, we also get an explanation of chaos theory with interjections about 'but those examples are really well-documented so you'd just have to throw enough data at it to get the pattern'. With a couple of side-trips into causal patterns with me pointing out that everything has a pattern, correlation is in most places unlinked and coincidental. And then seeing bro's gf going 'you people are *weird*'. Entire table 'Well, it would be mean to inflict the great-aunt on you this early.'
:whines: I wanna spend money at play.com and I can't for at least another two days....

Hell yeah! Wednesday works better (Tue is a fencing night) but I can do either.

"all rumours of a small blond child being born on this date in Jakarta? LIES."
But the world is far more entertaining for it. There was a lack of Snark in the world, you have redressed the balance.
