I just loved this pic. But hey, even BikerScouts have weekends off.
I once saw a Stormtrooper in ASDA, he was buying smooth peanut butter. Big mistake, [...]

When I grow up I want to be a spaceman

It has to be one of the biggest fabrications we instil into our children: what do you want to be when you grow up?” We ask this question relentlessly, and one can be sure that grandparents and loving aunts will similarly badger our offspring about their future plans too.
But when do we [...]

Anne Atkins and the poisoned olive branch

Bleary eyed, I awoke this morning in my hotel room to the mutterings of the Today programme on Radio Four.
Now regular listeners of the programme will be aware that a short section of the schedule is given over to religious speakers. The section is called Thought for the Day, and pious individuals [...]

Following the excellent advice from my dear readers, I have the perfect solution…

Terrible twos

tyger junior will be two next month. Already he’s entered that very independent stage where he rebels against the constant caution of his parents. Occasionally, and this is very rare, while throwing a strop he’ll smack me on the arm or knee.
I’m always rather taken back by being struck by my child. [...]

Working away from home

Written last night. No intenet access.
I used to be away on business a lot. I used to be seconded all over the country, but recently, since I had children, this has been less frequent. Last week I was drafted in to help get through a backlog of customer disputes. This means 2-3 [...]

Sunporch Cha-Cha-Cha

It’s The Sound Of Silence at chez tyger, and that’s not because the kids are asleep - no, far from it, they’re running riot in their room. We’re actually listening to The Graduate Soundtrack. Mrs. tyger wanted some ‘nice music.’ Maybe she wanted to give the chaos some context?
We’re going to take [...]

BEWARE THE INTERNET

Via. Political Penguin (who discusses the pitfalls of parenting and the net)

The greatest toy ever

tyger jnr. has spent the past three days walking around with a little plastic dustpan and brush. You know the ones with the extended handle so you don’t have to bend down. He has been wandering the apartment, never letting either contrivance out of site. I see a bright future as a [...]

How true…

Has Hewitt been at the bottle?

We already suffer some of the most draconian taxation on alcohol, and yet the gaff-prone health minister, Patricia Hewitt, has written to the Chancellor to demand a steep hike in taxation in the next budget. Ms Hewitt believes that raising tax can stem the chronic abuse of alcohol by Britain’s youth.
When will politicians learn? [...]

Oh bruther…

Just reading the Love Supreme site, and I can hear a groaning behind me. I turn around and my 1-year old is stood next to the sofa, bent over the cushions, clearly squeezing one into his nappy.
You busy?

Mad Mad World

The press need to get real over Madonna’s adoption of a Malawian boy. Full of righteous vitriol about the way Madonna had ridden rough shot over Malawian laws, they then go and create a media circus around the babies arrival. How is that in the child’s interest?
The mood is my office is split [...]
