    I have a whole raft of excuses for still carrying around my 'baby weight'. 1. It's my mum's fault. I mean she gave me her genes right and her genes aren't rake thin, athletic, snap-back-into-shape genes. They are genes which enable my body to take in fat by osmosis simply by standing next to a jam doughnut. …

    Tales From The Dad Side

    A huge thank you to everyone who asked me questions in my audience participation post. I will take two sets at a time, in the order they were received, and post them together. (By the way, the asking phase is now over.) Tara asked: 1. What do you think of Hulk?

I haven't seen it, but the trailers look awesome.

    Took me right back to my childhood. Hubby chunters something about it being "daft letting a 5-year-old watch something like that", but you try stopping him. It's the highlight of his week, as mentioned in a previous blog Hooray for Dr Who. There was something very old school about this episode.
