ah, KFC. I admit to liking it and always ask for white meat only in a box or in the bun I always ask for no lettuce and a small amount of mayo. It always comes with too much mayo and lettuce

Anyone see 'Are you smarter than a 10 year old' last night. Man against his 10 year old daughter. First question how many 20 pence pieces to make £1.60. After lots of thinking he gets in wrong

Joseph Henry Jones, brother to Oliver Thomas, second child for Simon and Joanne and third grandchild for Cliff and Sue Booker was introduced to the world at 2.25am on Monday 28th December 2009 at Rochdale, Lancashire.  Mother, father and beautiful 7lbs 5oz baby doing well, while doting grandparents are ecstatic, but exhausted!  No doubt some images will follow when visits have been facilitated and the alcohol has worn off!   :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Joseph Henry Jones, future Emeritus Professor of Botany at the University of Life in Dresden; Ranunculus expert; Test cricketer; Premiership highest scorer and four-time European Champion medal winner with Rochdale AFC; Platinum disc recipient for his first seven solo albums; Booker Prize winner for the years 2030 to 2046; Olympic Gold Medal winner at the Kabul Games in 2032; Nobel Peace prize winner in 2040; author, artist, photographer, explorer, chef, Liberal Prime Minister from 2043 to 2055 and Roy Orbison impersonator.

Congratulations, Cliff & Sue although my understanding of biology suggests it's quite some time since you had any Darwinian influence on the outcome ;) ;) ;)

Your list of dreams for the young man is admirable until.............................chef :o Do you really want him to swear like you know who????

Warmest congratulations to all concerned and very best wishes for the little lad for now and his obviously sparkling future. But like David I'm wondering why you didn't mention the numerous Forrest and Farrer medals he'll win. And that literary prize does smack a little of nepotism, with a name like that. ;D
