It'll probably get darker as he gets older.

[Yudster]

Terrible dress sense too.

[chrysostom]

I'm sure he's used to having an older woman dress him.

[Yudster]

Ah well that's out then. Certain things have to be independently managed. I can only help with so much.

Out of interest - who is that child?

[chrysostom]

I've no idea - I'll try to find out.

I posted him as RY4N, then Badger posted him as Ben, then he was used for various other things on the forum.

edit: This isn't the course of the image, but it's remarkably close to Yuds' comment http://montana-40666.blogspot.co.uk/201 ... ddler.html

He looks like the baby brother of the cartoon kid fromthe MAD magazine thing - you know, this one

Chris Evans. Not only on Saturday Kitchen, but cooking on it. Ruining my morning.

I'm sure his zany approach to cookery can only enhance the show. Think zany think Chris Evans.

Annoying me today is the poor excuse for a football team that I support. We have all the defensive qualities of the Italian border patrol during World War 2.

That's Alfred E. Newman.

Mine did.

people not pulling their weight/turning up in the groups we have at uni. so annoying, last year i didnt care, this year, Iv lost my patience and told the lecturer, im not having my mark reduced cos they cant get a balance between being drunk and uni.

[a-moron]

Not so much annoying but putting a dampener on my day was my son's gerbil dying this afternoon.
Wee fella in tears and me in a self made hazmat suit and rubber gloves trying to remove the wee *.
Whit. A. Big * Jessie.

Me. Not my son.

Aw. Its horrid when the pets die. The little 'uns get over it quick though, and, cliched though this is, it IS a useful life experience.

Maybe Santa might bring a new gerbil - or a hamster, they don't stink half so much! Or, best of all, a couple of rats. MUCH more handleable than the smaller rodents, friendly, trainable and very intelligent. Having said that, I can recommend Russian Dwarf hamsters - Baby Yudster's is much friendlier and cuddlier than I expected it to be.

Either way, hope the tears have dried. And I hope your lad is ok too Badger.

+1. One of the bestest things about kids is the power of distraction. Ensure something shiney is on hand for these situations.

Still, not nicest experience. Ah, the other side to Badger - a heartfelt post with no mention of **** or **** or *******.

I had a hamster, lovely little fella, lived for 3 happy years.
Until one day i noticed a bit of a grimace on his usually happy face.
then i noticed it! how hadn't i noticed it before? it was bloody impossible not to.
one of his nuts had swelled to the size of conker and was pinging off the slats in his wheel as he ran. I tried to empathise, I won't go in to how, here, now, but i did. Needless to say a trip to the vet followed shortly. He was a nice man with a moustache and a squint. He pointed out that he could operate and remove the tumor or cyst but it would cost £240 and his chances of survival would be approx 30%. so while i rooted about in my parka for the £7.50 appropriate for the "other" treatment he went off to polish his gun.
I paid. said my goodbyes. Then while i was noteing the glint in the eye that was pointing in my direction and the slight drool hanging from his 'tache as he asked "Would you like to come and watch"
i made my excuses and left, even the offer of a small casket for only £17.99 + VAT did not divert me from my path.
"to the pub" said I as the sound of a 12 bore rattled the timbers of the once peaceful building

and i will never have a rodent again

Annoying me today is people who are holding the * office door open to finish conversations with people outside, apparently oblivious to the fact that I am sitting at my desk a few feet inside that door with a thick woolly scarf round my neck because its * COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People are bastard ARSEHOLES. They shouldn't be opening the damn door at all, they should be apparating into the office or using the Floo Network.

[chrysostom]

They shouldn't be opening the damn door at all, they should be apparating into the office or using the Floo Network.

Things have escalated in our flat with the Harry Potter stuff. Since we went to HP land the plan has been as such:

In bed at 11pm, Stephen Fry reads some HP for 30 mins. Then at 7.15am, the Harry Potter theme blares out of my phone. Meanwhile, a Hufflepuff flag hangs on the curtain (despite Hannah claiming she wouldn't be in Hufflepuff), and we've also been watching the films the last 2 nights.

I'm also seriously considering buying the sword of Gryffindor to hang up in the lounge (http://www.noblecollection.co.uk/index. ... 8&catid=21)

Is there room for a third person in your relationship?

I also recommend (if you haven't already played them) the Lego Harry Potter games on your console of choice. The flatmate and I are currently making our way through Book Five. He's Hermione and I'm Ron.

I know there's a right answer to this, I just don't know what it is.

My Facebook friends need to shut up about snow. Grown adults acting like they have never seen snow before! It's not even real snow either. Deeply sad.

[Latina]

Snow has caused me so many problems over the last 20 years that if I never saw it again I honestly don't think I would miss it. Last winter was such a relief (although we did get an unusual amount of hazardous strong winds to make up for it).

[chrysostom]

I'll be excited when proper (for South England, i.e. 2 inches) snow comes along as it'll be the first time since I've been in my new flat. We have a gorgeous communal garden that will look fantastic covered in white - and Tooting common will look quite nice.

But it's certainly not at the level (here) to get excited about yet.
