That's wonderful news Paddy, I hope everything goes well and for your coming event too Martin. As all grandparents know, being one can be very expensive but all good fun in the long run.

[Maggi Young]

My goodness, even better..... with the actual celebration of the birth, fine cake is called for!

[David Nicholson]

My older daughter's first is due by the 10th of Feb.

You don't look old enough to be a granddad Martin, which is not to imply that Paddy does

Hey, watch it, Mr. Nicholson.

[David Nicholson]

I did say "NOT to imply........ "

[Martin Baxendale]

Why thank you. 

[Martin Baxendale]

Oh hang on! David, are you going by my snail avatar?    I have to admit, in real life I do look older than the snail.

Why thank you. 

I was going to say David how can you tell how old he looks. That snail doesn't give anything away

Congrats Paddy!!

Martin,

So how many grandkids will this be then?  The way you phrased it I think means that there have already been other grandkids?

It looks a very young snail to me!

This is the first, Paul. The younger daughter is only 12.

[Paul T]

Martin,

Well congratulations to you too as well.  I just thought the way it was written that this might have been the first for your eldest, but not the first of the lot (if you know what I mean).  

May the birth be without complication and the result divine!!  

[Martin Baxendale]

Thanks, Paul and others for the good wishes. Everything seems fine so far, fingers crossed, apart from a low blood pressure issue but that shouldn't be a major problem.

[Anthony Darby]

May I add my best wishes to Martin and Paddy. Another way to turn you worlds upside down?
