... but would you let him babysit your child ?

It was as clear as a bell to me, I just didn't want to seem to be the odd one out !!! should I maybe say something next time ?
Fritz Von Subliminally speaking of course
Instead, you kindly left me as the odd one out!!!
Anyway, had you said something, would I actually have understood it?
LOL
QUESTION OR STATEMENT ? 
You know to be honest chaps, when I first saw Deane's "question" I must admit it completely went over my head, and I myself am a single man who lives alone!
Either I'm daft (and sadly I cannot entirely discount this possibility
) or it just never occurs to me even in the slightest that I would ever consider the possibility of having a young kid stay with me, family or no. This should not in any way be taken as a slight on Dom or blythe who I am sure are very upstanding people. Having seen blythe's initial outraged reaction to Deane's post I had to re-read it (!) but yes I can well see how blythe was offended and I must say I would be too, but for the reasons I have stated above.
Having said all that my sister's pregnant with her third child (!!!) and I fully anticipate that sometime shortly after the baby is born early next year I will be "asked" nay it will be demanded of me that I take my oldest two nephews to look after for a day....or two! This possibility worries me deeply, not for fear that I might suddenly develop any hitherto uncovered desires to have them sleep with me, it's just that I genuinely think I am LOUSY with children!!!
Anyway on the question of the trial verdict, I must admit I really wanted Jackson to go down, but all I have to back me up is my own blind prejudice developed towards Jackson himself - admittedly part of this arose out watching the Bashir doc but I'm not sure how much credibility we can honestly attach to this now in light of the verdict.
That said I'm pleased that Jackson's defence attorney has publically declared that his client will no longer be allowing children in his bed again; hopefully this will in small part be the start of some sort of rehabilitation for him.
Cheers,
Jon

Kind of both as I only understand 32.78% of anything you write on 'ere
That's about my IQ, or so I'm often reliably infoamed

That's exactly how I felt about all of my brothers children coming to stay - I kind of felt "OK, what do I do with them? What if they cry? What if they don't like the food?" etc.
However, I actually found the "dread" beforehand much worse than the reality and actually found I enjoyed their honesty, funny quirks and ideas etc. Don't worry! You'll be fine when that day arrives!

Cheers, Martin.
I'm well appy when the buggers go home to be honest, but that's an individually rare personal opinion, I'm sure most folk love having theor homes wrecked forever, innit.
Fritz Von Come and see how small your jammy sticky fingers are on my nice new Naim amplifier, yes of course you can play some records too matey, Uncle Fritz doesn't mind if you choose some music, that's right Katey you run as much hot water down the plughole as you like dear, & don't forget to leave all the lights on

Thankfully, my nephews and neices are now over 15, so they're not so prone to sticking fingers inside CD players etc. I was actually impressed that they sussed out how to make it all work, which is more than my sister in-law managed!!
Just about the right age to let loose on Our Micks DB5, innit:
Fritz Von You know the one that's in his mates name for tax porpoises !!!

Mind you Katey's 37 now, and her brother's nearly 40, so I expect they'll grow out of it soon as well ?
Especially French ones cos yers can ply them with cider as it's not illegal there, and they sleep like orchid growers, innit.
Fritz Von Gripe water's well boozy, amazin loads of 60's parents never ended up at the Bailey(s) Wunnit ?

A lickle birdy told me that certain members of this forúm have just returned from the Jackson Thankyou Party, innit
