A counter to all the recent shite

[Blackbird]

It's easy to get sucked into all the nonsense that sometimes invades this great site - bruised egos, name calling, twattish behaviour etc.

I tell you what though - when your first grandchild is born not two hours ago in Melbourne (Mollie Grace James, 9 lb 2 oz), all the tripe fades into insignificance.


YIPPEE!!!!!

[PirateJafa]

Congrats man - Very little else like it in the world, I imagine! :)

[kiwifruit]

Congrats Grandpa! :D

Congratulations Blackbird.

It is one of the things in this life that I really think is worth living for.

Wait until you hold her in you arms!

The wonder of it all will magnify by millions! :first::love:

All the hard arse male attitudes just peel away and fall off you like Shrek's layers.

It's a whole new experience in life that you never even knew existed.

Nice one, good news. :clap: Cheers John.

And in a year or three, coca cola. When the little darling is at maximum hype, you hand her back. Along with the other toys.:msn-wink:

Mountain Dew is better - HEAPS more caffeine than Coke and you can plead ignorance later - "but it's not like I gave her Coke or V..."

[vifferman]

Congratumalations, Geoff! Give our regards to the Jen as well. :niceone:

[Crisis management]

Congratulations! :banana:

I have to say my happy squeal of delight at your increasing brood is tinged with relief that it's not my kids doing it to me yet! I'm just not old enough yet!

[ynot slow]

Congrats to all involved.:baby:
My auntie had 2 kids in aussie,poor buggers called Jason & Kylie,did we give em shite when 'neighbours' started.

Best part is xmas,my wifes grandkids (3)mind you 1 is only 6mth,other 2 are 7 &5 are funny as,couple of xmas's ago,was asked when can i open pressies,I replied when your mum comes,she'll be here in 10 mins or so,about 10 mins later with hands on hips I get told 'grandad it's been 10 mins I want my presents',told not in a demanding or spoilt way but as a matter of fact it's been 10 mins so time to open.

The joy of their first sip of beer from a can,scrunched up face is priceless.:apint
And the best part is giving them back,especially when you want to surprise nana in bed lol.:spanking:

[Virago]

Just caught up with this thread - great stuff...! :niceone:

[Her_C4]

Fantastic news Blackbird - congratulations on the birth of your first grandchild:niceone::banana:

[Blackbird]

Thanks so much everyone, it's affected me much more than I thought it would and I haven't even met her! Very much looking forward to the flight over the ditch next Sunday! I imagine she'll be just like my daughter, able to twist me round her little finger, sigh......:(
