Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 at 10:06 amStu and I are excited to say that we are now uncle and aunty. Stu’s sister Catherine gave birth by c-section to Khalil Imran Bishop Slamet last month (delay in announcement due to harassed parents not being able to decide on the order of his first names - a Bishop event would not be quite itself without an element of delay, as he will no doubt discover as he gets older).

And dad, Roly, who has done this before and clearly knows something about snatching sleep from the jaws of being kept awake at all hours:
I’m sorry Stu and I won’t see more of him, but we might be back in Australia by the time he’s a toddler. At any rate, to Khalil, salaam aleikum and welcome to earth (sorry about the mess!). We look forward to meeting you!

Alankria - I’m sure Roly’s sleep skills will be tested to the fullest over the coming months!
Colin - Is that “razing” as in “razing to the ground”…?

Well, at least you’re a dick with some knowledge of early 18th century British social policy, so it isn’t all bad news.

Nope not all bad news.
Unless people start taking his suggstion as something to do and not as a poorly exicuted joke
