BBC News: Bad drivers to face £100 fines Seems a bit sexist.

Evening all.  Well, it has been an interesting time since my last post.

One of the things my son wanted was to sleep in a bed.  He broke my heart on Friday when he cried himself to sleep saying that he wanted to sleep in a bed.  Well, I was not able to make his cot into a bed on Saturday as I was working, but on Sunday I was able to.  My wife was amazing as she was able to work out bits when it came to help me.  However we were not able to make the bottom of the bed properly.  Well, my son did not care, he was overjoyed and come the night, he was very excited about sleeping.  A shame last night though when he fell out of bed.  Not that he admitted to doing so in the morning, saying instead that his rabbit (the cuddly toy that he was sleeping with) fell out of his bed.  And it would have worked on me, had my wife not got out of bed in the night to put him back to bed.

Today, on getting back from work, I got my update on my kids.  My daughter was a bit cheeky.  Well naughty really.  At dinner, she put some of her food on my sons plate.  My son complained, and thanks to my wife being very observant, she was found out.  Did not help though when my daughter tried to lie about it.  It is interesting to see how both develop.  We do try our best to praise the kids when they are nice to each other, and hopefully that will bear fruit later.  Most of the time they get on well together.  And on the subject of my daughter, I was reading with her on Sunday.  Last week, she went up a stage on reading, and I have to say, I can not tell the difference.  She was amazing.  At first, she was not too keen on reading, but when I pointed out I would write in her report book which her teacher reads, her attitude changed.  For someone so young, I am very impressed at how well she does with reading when she puts her mind to it.

Anyway, one other thing that my son is now doing is wearing pants.  Only today, he was to wear boxers.  But as far as he was concerned, and he told my wife this, jeans are not to be worn over shorts!

Anyway, I hope you like this... 

Dear IRA,

If there is ANY attempt made at the Queen's life during her historic visit to Ireland, i will personally see to it that you are all knighted.

Your's sincerely,

I noticed a lot of people queuing outside Waterstones today so I asked the security guard what was going on.

He said, "Jedward are doing a book signing."

I said, "Where's the punchline?"

He said, "There isn't one."

I said, "Brilliant, does that mean I get to go first?"
