Very defensive game so far. Broncos defence are immense.

D-Fence wins championships, haven't you heard?

I'm a Bucs fan, we won a championship with Brad Johnson starting at quarterback.

Peyton gets his farewell. Delighted for him. Broncos D is best I've seen.

Well ****, is there any way of attaching a breathaliser to boards?

I genuinely feel for you Buer. My wife's sister had twin boys and I swear to god herself and her husband aged visibly in the first couple of years. I went from being a very light sleeper to a father and a man who could sleep through a bomb going off, as proved by sleeping through our house being robbed a few years ago - never heard a squeak.
You've heard it a million times but it does get easier - mine are going into town for the Chinese new year celebrations...I'll have to sit at home in silence and watch the match.

To be honest, it really hasn't been that bad. There have been a few rough nights but, for the most part, it has been pretty smooth.

Kids were premature and spent first 3 weeks in ICU where they were on a military-like routine for feeds and sleeping. This has stood to them and now they pretty much sleep after their feed until their next one. House alarm went off yesterday morning. Both slept right through it.

I reckon I'm averaging about 6 hours a night (going to bed very early though) and I'm the one doing the feeds in the middle of the night. Only slept in the car at lunch time once so far!

And I'd agree, Podge. I think twins, overall, is an easier situation than having a couple of kids separately in relatively close proximity. I see friends who have toddlers and a newborn and they're completely stressed trying to feed/change the younger one whilst their toddler tries to stick their fingers into sockets and drink bleach.

Hell no. Getting out at all is an ordeal. She had an emergency delivery so can't drive or lift much. Her folks live on other side of country, mine have both passed away so assistance not too easily come by and not much opportunity to get much social time at the moment.

My box set viewing has gone through the roof, though!

Well Peppa Pig is pretty great, there is some serious tension in some of the episodes, when George lost his dinosaur I was really worried that he wouldn't find it again

I suspect there's more chance of Ulster developing a home grown 9 than there is of MFC volunteering to look after kids he doesn't have to.

I had 3 under 3 years old at one stage. Memories are funny because you forget the bad times and the lack of sleep - good memories of holidays and walking around dublin early on Saturday mornings!!

Now they're older and they're basically shīts who do what they want and look at me with a mixture of pity, embarrassment and disdain...pretty much par for the course then!!

Watch the Micky Flanagan clip where he watches Thomas the tank engine...misses a bit of an episode and has to ring his mates to find out what happened. Very funny.

Know the one you're on about, it's very funny.
Though with my nephew I'm sure if I waited 5 mins he want to watch the episode again so I could catch up

Reminds me of Dora the explorer....I hate Dora, but, because my daughter loves her, I bought her a dozen dvds from the age of 3-5...and then one day her little friend called and I just gave them all to her!..... Man was I in the doghouse for a few days... But it was worth it, if I ever met that Dora, I think I'd beat her to death with her bastard monkey

That little girl's father probably has a contract taken out on you... you could have just scratched them all!

LOL. My colleague is German, her partner is of mixed ethnicity but grew up in Argentina. "Does he follow Argentinian rugby?" I asked. No not really, but he went to St Brendan's college in Buenes Aires. And for sports days, the college was divided into 4 houses...

...Leinster, Connacht, Munster and Ulster.

The missus found a mouse in our bedroom and is throwing a fit :rolleyes: we live in a period property in the middle of London, a few mice are to be expected. And I may or may not have known about the mouses existence for a few days but don't be telling her that.

MY OH decided to feed our bearded dragon a carton of locusts yesterday.

I cannot abide the sight of the things.

He was rudely awakened from his bed last night when one of them escaped the tank and decided hopping up on my knee was their best course of action

/shudder.

Mice are just a common household hazard in comparison

What do locusts escaping have in common with Work, Seperation and Divorce and Islam?

Are you implying I'm some sort of closet 1950's stepford wife?:pac:

I'd probably look to heave-ho someone who let locusts escape and wake me up, that's what I was implying!
