At this point I may be able to point out that I am now a GREAT granddad, I need it in capitals so that I can even get my head around it. My son over 40, my daghter near to 40, my grandson 21, his sister 17, youngest grandson nearly 6, his sister nearly 3 and now a greatgranddaughter a few months old. An irony is that I was looking at some old photos the other day, and I came across the time me and my mate got ourselves on the front page of the York daily paper with the headlines something like Hull City supporters arrive in York. Later on we had been relagated to the back page but I do have the official newspaper black & white photos, we are all jumping up in the air, jeepers I can hardly get my own socks on now :)

I remember getting my name in the York paper. And on the front page of the HDM. To do with City but not regarding arriving in York.<laugh>

only a couple of things you`ve missed;

1. A lifetime of heartache and worrying that they`ll make the right choices and not do anything silly (they usually do so don`t panic but it doesn`t stop you worrying)
2. Say goodbye to healthy bank balances, you have now become the `bank of dad`
3. Ensure that your car is always of a good sandard, as `dads taxi` is the most popular form of transport for kids

Other then that enjoy mate, I have got three kids and two grandkids, and loved every minute, it`s a breeze

Don't forget that whatever you do for them for 7 or 8 years when they reach 12 you will be an idiot who knows nothing compared to them.

Fatherhood priority number 1.

Either boy or girl and no matter what division we are in ensure their earliest sporting attachment is to their home town football club Hull City AFC.

I always think although they moved from Hull and grew up at schools surrounded by "fans" of top flight clubs they both chose to support City means I haven't been a total failure as a parent. And that they do have one redeeming feature.

Nice. Tom’s at an age now where everything is ace! I managed to be home for him waking from his afternoon nap so we watched a fair few matches during the World Cup. He cheered when people scored and said “naughty mister” when they fouled.
I thorough enjoyed that.

Then he’d go ahead and throw an absolutely devastating benny if his jigsaws weren’t in a particular place

Kids eh?

All ****ing mental!!

Mark Twain wasn't right. It continues in perpetuity.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

― Mark Twain
