A baby meat would be fucking terrible. Everyone with babies would be sort of annoyed that their baby wasn't get enough kudos for being the cutest/ cleverest/ funniest/ most personable and everyone without babies would resent the baby people for being a bunch of hateful c**ts obsessed with their stupid fucking babies and getting annoyed with parents trying to out do each other with tales of either how great their baby is or how hard they've fucking got it because their baby is 'a nightmare'. It'd be awful. Nothing worse than other people and their stupid, ugly babies.

Like having a 'spouse meet' where you bring a spouse along and shove them out in front of you, beaming with pride at how fucking clever you are for getting a spouse.

I only suggested it because London did ages ago, and she's still cool to me.

Anyway, it would be fine as mine's obviously going to win.

I was playing that on the guitar and singing it to Amelie the other day. I then went on to play Xbox for 4 hours straight while she sat looking sad in the corner.

Yours wouldn't win - it's currently trying to unlock the washing machine with my fob from work. Stupid baby.

My competition entry is currently in Norway with the [gravelly voice]Commando Helicopter Force[/gravelly voice], having moved on from washing machines - though only as far as Sea Kings, which I understand aren't really that much different. I expect he'd win the Best Baby prize anyway.

I'm not sure mine is going to do very well in the competition. I'll read "lullabyhullaballoo" to her and then set her out with all her books in front of her and say "Which shall we read now" and she'll choose the same one. Again. and again. and again.

I suspect I can probably recite the book from memory now.

Nightmare. And it doesn't seem to stop either, not in our house. I've got a 13-year-old who only reads Harry Potter. I mean, he does do other things in his life, but when it comes to reading, he's just permanently got a Harry Potter book on the go. I've tried suggesting other stuff and given him copies of things - not heavy stuff, just thrillers and adventure stuff and that - but they just end up back on the bookshelf a couple of days later.

Even worse, 'er indoors listens to fucking Harry Potter. Stephen Fry droning on and on. It just goes on forever and ever. I really liked the books when I read them. Once. And then read something else. It scares me that people can get stuck in a loop with one writer, or one pop group, or one computer game. Did you read about that woman the other day who neglected her children and left her dog to die because she was playing on one of those "Farmville" kind of alternative reality things for like 22 hours a day. I think reading Harry Potter non-stop is just one step away from that, and compulsive "lullabyhullaballoo" listening is pretty much guaranteed fruitcake, let's face it.

I saw a toddler who looked remarkably like Jonesy yesterday in Islington Giraffe. He seemed to be making hand gestures at Sam. Maybe the offspring are meeting up without us?

Yeah. It's like those people should get out of the house and do something for crissake. If only there were some place they could go.

I'd also like to suggest that babymeat be held in southern California, because it's such a pain to travel with kids.

Ten years? Jesus. The internet is old. I suspect I was only around on TMO for about six of them, though, so that doesn't really count.

Hey man, at least you're not going grey and spending most of your time thinking about mortgages and furniture aquisition

Don't you complete in two days? I would have thought that your time thinking about mortgages should be over by now or else you're really leaving it a bit late.

There are many things I like to spend time thinking about, long after I've actually finished doing them.

Though in the case of mortgages, there are some things to consider. At the moment we've just taken over the 60% share that Reema had previously, but one thing we're thinking of doing is buying the other 40%. It makes sense to do it now while the house market is still in a bit of a slump, and since we wouldn't be paying additional rent to the housing association, it would actually work out cheaper each month than just having the share. But this is all very boring of course.

Incidentally our new heaters were installed last night so barring a little bit of tuching up and making good around the new fixtures, the flat is actually finished and we can concentrate on filling it up with all our shit.

Nice. So are you actually moving in now or waiting until completion before that?

It's good that you've got so much done so early as otherwise you just sit there thinking "I should really get that done" but then a week goes by and you don't do it and you think "Do I really need shelves? I'm sure that my CDs are fine in boxes and suitcases in the bedroom"

We moved in Sunday. I was reluctant to move in before the completion date, but the new bed was being delivered at about 7am on Monday so we would have been silly not to stay there, and to be honest we were both finding it pretty difficult staying with my parents so we wanted to get out as soon as we could. Now we've got a bed set up it's starting to feel a bit more like a home.

Annoyingly the screws for securing the electrical connection for the cooker to the wall have been 'misplaced' (read - thrown away) meaning we need to get a couple of screws before we can do any cooking. Still waiting on moving in a fair chunk of our furniture and belongings. We're still without TV, and the sofa isn't being delivered for weeks (though we can use one of the old nasty leather ones in the meantime), but it's all starting to fall together.

We're hoping that by the weekend we'll be more or less done and we can actually think about just, like, spending relaxation time in the flat. I'm sure the cat would appreciate us finishing as soon as possible.

Cooking and TV and stuff doesn't really matter, as long as you've got the computer set up and an internet connection and Reema goes to bed early and doesn't just suddenly come out of the bedroom quietly without warning, you're all good.

No internet or telephones set up at the moment either. The local exchange which is about a mile away is being upgraded at the moment by BT for fibre, meaning in about a month or so we'll be able to get 20mb+

I could have got up to 50MB but just went for the 10MB and don't have any problem with streaming porn, so perhaps you don't need to get a pipe that fat?

I'm not a pre-novemberist either. Like others I read SeeThru pretty much from the start but didn't join the forum until around 9-11. Still pop in every few weeks to see what's being said.

There's another one, from the same photo-shoot which had better lighting - that was the one that kept getting re-used...
