Its Campbells last day of school today, can't believe he made it through his first year without any mishaps. In fact he had a great year, a brilliant first report. Remember he does have me as his father, that means he is 50% buffoon, sorry my son, but at least your mother is intelligent, normal and has her head screwed on straight. Really annoying as this means he never falls for any of my pranks and wind ups. He still won't believe me when I tell him to look out for LAND SHARKS.
Well done me boy you make us proud. But now the fun begins, all four of us together, a recipe for mishaps, disasters, and his mother smacking me about the head repeatedly with the heaviest thing she can lift. I'm not saying Amanda is a nutcase, is just with me and the boy together, lets just say Laurel and Hardy have nothing on us. So if I suddenly stop posting on my regular haunts, please take off your hats and say a silent prayer for my soul as it hurtles down to the pit.

In my day at school sports day, you had races,team games,and individual games. You also had one very important element, winners and losers. At my sons so called sports day, they started off by telling the kids that everyone was a winner, fair enough. What followed was just a bunch of kids running around randomly throwing things or bouncing on space hoppers.
It appears that our local authority has deemed that it's not good for the kids to take part in competitive sports. I'm sorry I know my son is only 5 1/2, but he needs to learn that life is all about winning and loosing and how you deal with both. That's why I never let him win in our wrestling matches.

You know what is stress is, I don't think you do. Stress is waiting for Brain Train Academy to give you your score, just after your 5 year has scored C+on the adult setting.
I beat him, but only just. Don't know if I should feel ashamed or proud

It's an unwritten law that kids are naturally better at this newfangled techno jiggery-pokery than us old ones. Example: I tried to reply to this on your blogspot.com blog, but it told me the request couldn't be processed and ordered me to "try again later". Even the machines are shouting "I WIN!" at me Thanks for the link, by the way - much appreciated.

My keyboard was busted on my laptop, been waiting for a replacement, which came today, a nice wee mini wireless one. Now if only I can convince the Mrs to let me use the TV as a monitor. That and its, been the first week of Campbells school holidays, so spent most of me time out on the hills chasing ninja polar bears

When lying to your kids backfires on you, or why are some parents arseholes.
To make sound like a hero to my son, I have told him that I had to have the operation on my hand as I injured it fighting communist ninja polar bears, fair enough in my eyes, remember this is from the person who has convinced his son that land sharks exist.
So we were at a wildlife detective presentation at the weekend, when the ranger asked if there was any bears in Scotland , my son replied yes there are ninja polar bears, they hurt my dad. the ranger laughed, as he is in on the land shark joke. But afterwords I got a nice little talking ro from a concerned parent, about filling my sons head with rubbish.
|Needless to say I am not exactly renowned for my tact , and that parent went of with an earfull of my tact.

When I was a lad they were in training, in a secret chamber under the town that could only be reached through the old manor house. I nearly got in once but the powers that be had a security robot cunningly disguised as a farmer that chased me off... Most of this story is true, and variations on it have turned up in several of my stories over the years

I've also got him to completely check a room when he goes in just in case Chuck Norris is hiding. Amanda thinks I am cruel, but the way I see it I am preparing him for the unexpected
