Freedom Fries
Lynn's just got back from her Florida and the Bahamas wedding & honeymoon. She reported that the Americans are so disappointed with the stance of the French on their Iraq campaign, that they are not only boycotting French products, but have also renamed "French Fries"...
..."Freedom Fries".
Good for the Yanks, that what I say. It's about time the pesky French had a taste of their own medicine, having illegally boycotted perfectly good (and safe) British beef for years.
Perhaps the good old Yanks would like some of our prime BSE-free beef-burgers to go with their Freedom Fries?

Shrink-wrapped Choppers
Replacement Black Hawk helicopters were shipped into Umm Qasr yesterday. They were shrink-wrapped in transit to protect them from the elements.
It's a good thing they weren't bubble-wrapped as the air crew engineers would have take ages to get them assembled...
Ikea Snake Update
It clicked for the first time last night that with Louis on his way in September, I have a valid excuse to finally purchase an Ikea Snake.
Pregnancy Diary
Vicster has been worried that her bump isn't as big as it should be at this stage (16 weeks) of the pregnancy. She's been getting freaked out by the number of people telling her she's "not putting much weight on", etc.
She got it into her head that something might be wrong with Louis.
I've been very cool about it: no worries as everyone develops and shows at a different pace.
Thankfully a quick chat to my brother and his wife -- who have been through the whole thing twice now -- managed to allay Vic's fears.
It's all perfectly normal.
