Baby Blog Boom
You want to know how the pregnancy is going. Am I right?!
Then you need to keep tabs on Vicster's new blog. She's finally succumbed to the lure of the Blog. And its pretty darn good too. Fat Ladies Club online. BTW, the pink colours are not a clue to the sex of our baby. No siree.

Action Cow
A cow that attempts to wipe out your car and pregnant wife by lurking in its field, until the very last moment, and then leaping up over a stone wall inches from your front hood. Native to single track roads in Cornwall. Highly dangerous. Once their attack is foiled by ABS and a screaming wife, they look at you blankly -- whilst you reprimand them for a couple of minutes -- trying to act as innocently as possible.
I love cows, but these blighters make even me swing towards dairy intolerence.

Heave Tally Ho
JT is a fox, so he must be happy at the news that the House of Commons has at last voted to ban fox hunting in England. I know I am. Unnecessary, barbaric and cruel, it serves no purpose other than to provide toffs with a leisure pursuit.
I've heard arguments such as "We need to hunt foxes to protect our lambs and chickens.... if you've ever seen what a fox does to a coop of chickens, you'll know what we mean!".
My retort: "Instead of spending all that money on purchasing and maintaining a horse, its gear and your fancy riding boots and red hunting jackets, why don't you protect your chickens by investing in a new fox-proof fence."
"But's its traditional!"
"And so was bear-baiting, denying women the vote, stoning people to death, and persecuting Jews."
"But hunting supports the whole economy of rural life!"
The pro-hunt protesters and Chessex Girls lobbying outside Parliament undermined themselves on TV by flashing their Harvey Nichs bags. They were clearly all from Chelsea and Knightsbridge, and the only time they'd ever been near a chicken was at The Ivy or Harrods foodhall.
Congratulations to our MPs: Welcome to the 21st Century.
