Since the Boy started going to the nursery, which is a hub and crossing point for all manner of bugs, The Boy has been ill and has also passed many things onto his lovely parents. Little folk seem to get over things really quickly were as us old(er) folks seem to take longer to get over them. Mr Fridge was hit hard! (Not to say Mrs Fridge wasn’t but it is my blog.) The Boy gifted Mr Fridge 6 viruses and 1 disease. 2 of those viruses were at the same time! Well impressive. The Hand, Foot and Mouth disease was particularly fun: never realised a little person could vomit so much for so far! Mr and Mrs Fridge were also struck down and I had a week off work and was the only one of us to develop the lesions on my hands, feet and mouth.FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-9075899444089629122009-07-10T13:39:00.002+01:002009-07-10T13:42:07.874+01:00Self Exploration of Geek draws to a close!My journey to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">geekiness</span></span> has peeked!

I am being turned into an extremist. (Just as well I am already married and wifed!) We spent lunch time discussing Doctor Who, who would be a good actor/actress for the Doctor and who would not. The possibilities of other Time Lords exist to be brought back up in the program. DEAR GOD!!! Slightly uncomfortable feeling but enjoyable, the same sort of feeling you get when you look at the geology department of a museum, or you read a technical manual when you don’t have to, and spend a bit more time doing so than you would expect.<br /><br />Anyway, Michael MacIntye (I don’t care if I have spelt his name incorrectly) has taken over as my most disliked person. He annoys me and I cannot understand his sudden rise to TV popularity. Mr Fridge’s wife’s office went to see him at the Edinburgh Fringe last year and I had to walk out he was so annoying, unfunny and predictable. There must be others!<br /><br />He’s not funny, his voice is annoying and you get the feeling from TV that other genuinely funny comedians don’t like him. He even managed to get booed on a comedy charity TV program. ‘Nuff said.<br /><br />MacIntyre has taken the mantle from Danny Baker. Here is my list:<br /><br />1. Michael MacIntyre<br />2. Danny Baker<br />3. Chris Moyles<br />4. Jeffery Archer<br />5. Michael MacIntyre<br /><br /><br />I was up at 04:55 today with Fridge Junior, The Boy (as he shall hence forth be known). So I feel I need to cleanse my pent up stresses and share these things.<br /><br />The Boy is lovely with 6 teeth and more pushing through. Wee soul. He is also crawling, making noises, playing, interacting (which is great) and being fun to be around. About time too as, to be quiet frank, they don’t really do much for the first few months and you get a bit fed up with them after a while.FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-85922296995364843052009-07-07T13:00:00.001+01:002009-07-07T13:02:18.254+01:00Missed by some . . .So goodbye Michael Jackson<br />Missed and adulated by millions<br />Your music has inspired and entertained many<br />With your good times<br />You had a hard life<br />But if we are to believe others<br />Then you made other lives harder<br />So yours was no excuse<br />Better people have died<br />Giving much more than selling tickets<br />Media’s easy stories and time fillers<br /><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7799610.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7799610.stm</a>FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-61936894127972634802009-07-02T13:22:00.001+01:002009-07-07T13:17:34.120+01:00Sad DaySo farewell then Mollie Sugden<br />Liver Bird mother Mrs Hutchinson<br />and<br />Mrs Slocombe serving us<br />With laughter<br />and<br />Double-entendres<br />We will miss your pussyFridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-85244510997859199022009-06-08T17:26:00.003+01:002009-06-08T17:39:48.405+01:00The prodigal FridgeHair Returns!Hello again all my departed readers!<br /><br />Mr Fridge has been so distracted that he had lost time to blog! Shocking! House decoration and rebuilding it internally, raising a small child, Mr Fridge Father having a cog replaced in his ticker and sooo on. Oh bills. Love paying the bills.<br /><br />So. Mr Fridge is disgusted at his fellow country men and women. We had our European Elections and less than a 35% turnout which enabled BNP to gain some seat with their minority votes. I am all for minority parties but not for Raciest Xenophoics such as them. Disgusting. "Standing up for the indigenous British person". The British people are mongrels: The Scots are half Irish and half Pict. The Irish came form Northern Spain and no-one really knows where the Picts came from. The Welsh are Irish, English and Vikings. The English are a mix of Roman, French, Germanic and we all all part Norse from the pillaging Vikings. Not to mention Gypsies, Africans and Asian influences in our recent history so the indigenous people of Britain is basically Europe. Backwards thinking, scared little raciest.<br /><br />See you all in court, although the views express are my opinion only. That said I am sure many people have similar thoughts.FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-47602443988806091192009-01-24T23:07:00.000+00:002009-01-24T23:08:05.635+00:00Saturday Night RantHello Probably All Gone Reader,<br /><br />I sit here getting used to typing again and today I am ever more a Republican than ever! Watching the BBC evening News I note that the BBC refuse to broadcast a humanitarian appeal for Gaza in the interests of impartiality. That I do not understand as the people who survived the Israeli bombardment need our help. Israel will certainly not give it; they only drop bombs on UN Schools and food stores, level industrial zones to destroy their infrastructure and use weapons banned under international laws on civilian areas.<br /><br />Anyways, my rant was that the BBC ran with the Story that Prince (spit) Harry and Chelsea have split up when on holiday in the Maldives and then after that about Rwanda and Congo joining forces to try and sort out the Hutu rebels responsible for the genocide that happened there. Some balance is required I think.<br /><br />Okay. Prince Harry<br />1. Does he not have a job in the army? He is always off on holidays.<br />2. He is 'our little raciest friend’. No excuse can hide what and how he said it. Despicable.<br />3. I never voted for him<br />4. He is a privileged idiot<br /><br />'Nuff said tonight I think.<br /><br />I also did not win the lottery.<br /><br />Night all.FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-4836671108211577592009-01-23T17:10:00.002+00:002009-01-23T17:14:14.947+00:00Mr Fridge Returns!Happy (late) 2009 Reader!<br /><br />Apologies from Mr Fridge but his laptop was out of order and is now repaired!<br /><br />I have remembered my password and can now get back on to my ranting, family adoration and random thoughts!<br /><br />I have so much to say on Harry Hewi . . .

He had to nip out to buy a picture frame, which he did not get due to no shops having them, that he visited in the newly expanded Livingston Shopping centre, The Elements (<a href="http://www.theelementslivingston.co.uk/">http://www.theelementslivingston.co.uk/</a>). It looks nice from the outside but when I walked in I was presented with the below vista :<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOxpgVQcKudirJt6-4eIVnRhJXPh3Lv6byLE759DJOBq1TRnf8a362f_JTEYDsweJ4F4PLZCdkI2G0mtJ5dXv3vZ6D7NB4nn63I-Yp48Q-1MmuBzlxkpkgT7iF8AfP4iHpG_rd1vCxanQ/s1600-h/04112008728.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264889196791348642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOxpgVQcKudirJt6-4eIVnRhJXPh3Lv6byLE759DJOBq1TRnf8a362f_JTEYDsweJ4F4PLZCdkI2G0mtJ5dXv3vZ6D7NB4nn63I-Yp48Q-1MmuBzlxkpkgT7iF8AfP4iHpG_rd1vCxanQ/s320/04112008728.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Now it is the 4th of November, we have just had Halloween and yet to have bonfire night, but everything is made up for Christmas! Bit early? Devalues that special Christmas feeling you get, erm, around Christmas? What a poor show and poor parents! Mr Fridge is going to compose a letter and send to the management. I will appraise you of any reply.<br /><br />Baa humbug until December.<br /><br />My next posting will be more 'Too Early For Christmas', no doubt and a possible offensive rant against a certain member of the royal family. Well, I wrote it last week but is outside of my normal postings, but it is my blog and my thoughts. Forward apologies if it offends.<br /><br />In response to Poirot, If my nose got any bigger I would need a nose-wheelbarrow for it. (God my car repairs are going to cost me sooo much! Oh well, next weekend may see St Mirren go above Hearts inthe SPL . . or not.)<br /><br />Time for tea.FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-72548636357389332372008-11-04T19:27:00.004+00:002008-11-04T19:36:38.599+00:00Marvelouw Mrs FridgeHello Reader,<br /><br />Mr Fridge has recovered slightly as Mrs Fridge has been doing some grand and great work building Fridge Junior into a routine. Early to bed after an early feed then a few hours for me. I had a great time top and tailing him ready for his feed and settling for bed.

Given the lack of sleep that he and Mrs Fridge have been experiencing with Fridge Junior growing, crapping and eating we have spent longer awake than any other week, ever. The best one is my going to bed wakes him up, even when I creep in in the pitch black. I am finding the sofa very comfortable.<br /><br />Anyway, Mr Fridge noticed that Mad Hearts Fan/Great Mechanic Engineer Paul has a striking resemblance to a certain Hercule Poirot. I took his picture and I will let you decide for yourself.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKk7TiFVXviRQvdr7Cu7frMEOr_DYsjqT7cNTE-RH_TbfQLTVTuKhRCMIpzwpeRNbbBLetzaK58ogmxud3sidrE6cSMFrN4RFYwqH1FSuHSuXLOlK-OQglQ6Vs6d1WAsZvwQnoRDMkEc/s1600-h/IMG_0931.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257786747791744546" style="WIDTH: 245px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px" height="173" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKk7TiFVXviRQvdr7Cu7frMEOr_DYsjqT7cNTE-RH_TbfQLTVTuKhRCMIpzwpeRNbbBLetzaK58ogmxud3sidrE6cSMFrN4RFYwqH1FSuHSuXLOlK-OQglQ6Vs6d1WAsZvwQnoRDMkEc/s200/IMG_0931.JPG" width="225" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="center">Hercule Poirot</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguuKZe9Iqmzhk0xXDEnLC0Kr-hcIJscBzfA2SE-psPPVlQ0nptnfQvLYY_NRaV1HoHod1YDCVL9aqy7scs_0h2Var2izSQF0XUn3tP-Ar8hbhP43rzPfJ28K_Dq7DuGIXfbiHrwxCJcrs/s1600-h/Poirot.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257786753756432578" style="WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 184px" height="176" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguuKZe9Iqmzhk0xXDEnLC0Kr-hcIJscBzfA2SE-psPPVlQ0nptnfQvLYY_NRaV1HoHod1YDCVL9aqy7scs_0h2Var2izSQF0XUn3tP-Ar8hbhP43rzPfJ28K_Dq7DuGIXfbiHrwxCJcrs/s200/Poirot.jpg" width="252" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="center">Mad Hearts Fan Paul</div><div align="left">-</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Other similarities include colourful and inventive use of language, getting to the bottom of a tough problem and both have a limited availability of height. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">-</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The build up to a coming rant :</div><div align="left">Mr Fridge has also been ENRAGED by the Christmas lights going up in Livingston, and probably other places up and down the country too.

While I wait for engineer feedback I shall take this opportunity to update the reader my life. </p><p>On Saturday I cut the grass for the first time in my life! I have never done it before and as soon as I had built the cutting machine and learnt, quite quickly, that you should not run it over the power cable or wear open toed shoes (well, my nails needed trimmed) I got to work on the front and rear jungles that are Fridge Manor’s gardens. What a job I did! Like many things you do first time, it was absolutely atrocious but I enjoyed it tremendously. The grass was so long that even of giraffe setting the cutting machine was set to was not overly effective and Mr Fridge had to really run over and over it again: the mover even got so clogged up that I had to continuously stop and pick and scoop out the grass (I had learned to unplug it at this point). After an hour or two I was done and it was the worst looking set of lawns that I had ever seen! The organic recycling bin is full to bursting with cut grass, moss and blood from the cutting machine catcher bucket thing and from my raking. The job was so impressively done that a neighbour asked me if Fridge Junior had given us a rough night and that she had not noticed that we had cut the grass. Cheeky neighbour! She obviously thought I looked exhausted and had not noticed that she could see the front of the house again. I am off to look up the dictionary. </p><p><br />From <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/">http://www.thefreedictionary.com/</a><br />TACT: 1. Acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without offending.<br /></p><p>Hmmm.</p><p><br />Now the other fun thing that happened is that on Saturday Mrs Fridge and I had Fridge Junior on the play gym, naked as he was born, to allow his little touch of nappy rash to heal. He has been bathed and cleaned and changed and cleaned again, so he was looking so nice and lovely that I picked him up to hug and kiss. In return my loving child peed on me then crapped through my hand and onto my t-shirt and jeans and, well everything. I ended up washing my clothes and showering! Wee thing! How Mrs Fridge laughed. Mr Fridge laughed the next day when he had his first projectile vomit on Mrs Fridge, over her hand, trouser leg, newspaper and new sofa! </p><p>That’s my boy!</p>FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-33654366707469732312008-10-10T20:08:00.004+01:002008-10-10T20:55:46.614+01:00Mr Fridge Re-emergesHello Reader,<br /><br />Mr Fridge reemerges into the web world and has been chastised by Mrs 4444. Mr Fridge is heartened to see that he has at least one avid reader. Mr Fridge has obliged, but more to finding himself with some time and I intend to keep the world up to date!<br /><br />Ella and Pirate have been very kind and sent over a lovely present from just right of down under, from New Zealand. It is a Buzzy Bee ready for Fridge Jr (renamed again) to play and drag about him. It is not fair to single out one gift, but that is the furthest travelled. Everyone on Liam's new friends have been sooo generous and kind and we thank everyone who send him gifts and cards and love.<br /><br />Mr Fridge is also glad of the weekend and he is so looking forward to building all the furniture that was delivered yesterday. His back to work week was busy and in every office he went to I had the first few hours of every day 'lost' to work as loads of very nice fellow Q people asked after Mrs Fridge and Fridge Junior. Not that that was a problem, it just meant that Mr Fridge had the pleasure of showing of all his pictures he has of his son!<br /><br />Oh! Teas out so I will be back on line again soon!<br /><br />Night all.<br /><br />Oh, what a mum Mrs Fridge is! Mr Fridge is very proud and loves her even more!FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-20084911983738734962008-09-29T21:59:00.006+01:002008-09-29T22:24:16.094+01:00Ice Boy is a Week Old!Hello Reader,<br /><br />Mr Fridge has had the most excellent week! Mrs Fridge has been doing a superlative job being a Mother and we have had a few visitors over to meet the new Fridge. Below we see Mr Fridge Dad, or Ice Boy's Granddad, who came on Friday for a hold and a cuddle.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1htdHoxBhH2At6UG4zEQcLVURxuACtjXqsjSYY22OWlqcFP21F189LVBXAA8_AqwuaSKB1kYgOw0gjkD5AI_V7-SngbB6s7il60uYT0c7Qqw4JsxVoqVhUcx2nN-2o2Rd2t87H9EXys/s1600-h/IMG_0933.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251551511904771474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP1htdHoxBhH2At6UG4zEQcLVURxuACtjXqsjSYY22OWlqcFP21F189LVBXAA8_AqwuaSKB1kYgOw0gjkD5AI_V7-SngbB6s7il60uYT0c7Qqw4JsxVoqVhUcx2nN-2o2Rd2t87H9EXys/s400/IMG_0933.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Mr Fridge Brother and Austrianland Partner, Ice Boy Uncle and Aunt, sent over Ice Boy his first political statement T-Shirt! He loved it so much that he managed to 'poo' over the back of it in under an hour! Sorry Austrialand Aunt and Uncle, but he loves his T-Shirt.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEFnKZUjZ35loaTGqEgbl2oanhh5-t79VBnAehqPBK9wUSKJRTjSkdoxGUx3h0ZGSzItaMdk5GibPAbHhCgh9l2YB-4Ag-c2W5EH5ko2tX-pfOZxqydmC-Vr4apYK7lh46DFr6D_yl44k/s1600-h/IMG_0942.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251551515186107234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEFnKZUjZ35loaTGqEgbl2oanhh5-t79VBnAehqPBK9wUSKJRTjSkdoxGUx3h0ZGSzItaMdk5GibPAbHhCgh9l2YB-4Ag-c2W5EH5ko2tX-pfOZxqydmC-Vr4apYK7lh46DFr6D_yl44k/s400/IMG_0942.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mr and Mrs Fridge would also like to thank all the nice comments and cards and gifts and kindness shown by everyone to us and Little Liam. We are touched and blessed with such a son and friends </p><p>Well, since I last put any news in here we have been though a great deal! We moved out of Property Empire and got it all cleaned up ready for our tenants to move in the next day and hopefully rent it for some time yet! We moved into Fridge Manor, just outside of town, in fact, we now live in a village and we are enjoying the quiet life, easy parking and garden. Moving in here was quiet painless with everyone turning up on time and most things fitting through the front door. We are now mostly unpacked but are just waiting for some ordered furniture to arrive to allow us to finish off our move in. Then there was the birth of Ice Boy (promoted from Ice Shelf as he is out and free now!).</p><p>Ice Boy has also been having fun peeing on Daddy mid way through nappy changes and also pooing once he has been changed and dressed at 3.30am! He is so lovely. Kissed him to sleep this afternoon.</p><p>Okay, Mr Fridge is back on line and posting.</p><p>In the Next Post, I reveal where Hecule Poirot has been living recently.</p>FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-35286307247948674952008-09-23T23:05:00.004+01:002008-09-23T23:18:27.462+01:00Ice Shelf Arrives!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNukw3Dy7xUIDdG-BICbZxqlKr-uA42Ktn15IXhuVF65i6szw_Juta9E8OdtwO-JeVAPceFJH-yIs0hW9SlwLrSepEZdcwNfsMvtlo4S-6ll0LFGyyQEl8nhsooBpEJiGNupKgDtgka10/s1600-h/IMG_0922.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249342442462113986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNukw3Dy7xUIDdG-BICbZxqlKr-uA42Ktn15IXhuVF65i6szw_Juta9E8OdtwO-JeVAPceFJH-yIs0hW9SlwLrSepEZdcwNfsMvtlo4S-6ll0LFGyyQEl8nhsooBpEJiGNupKgDtgka10/s400/IMG_0922.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2FPdFTtioONnqgQ7mcNrUWEa1Ool_Bx_H4N0YIKRLHT5HJBvonwDIriS0jZsnWjDXh8cIgMV1cOXGwxcZEaLAEkST1Br6uz-4vLVRXnmRgPgt9QQPy-HhuXRRbk7ymfvOtObmko38ZYs/s1600-h/IMG_0917.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249342450413058722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2FPdFTtioONnqgQ7mcNrUWEa1Ool_Bx_H4N0YIKRLHT5HJBvonwDIriS0jZsnWjDXh8cIgMV1cOXGwxcZEaLAEkST1Br6uz-4vLVRXnmRgPgt9QQPy-HhuXRRbk7ymfvOtObmko38ZYs/s400/IMG_0917.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Hello Reader!!!

IMAO!Hello Reader!<br /><br />Mr Fridge is back on line after a whole horrific day of being off-net!!! Mr Fridge sat down last night to blog away but could not get connected!! Better luck today, fortunately. I ended up watching ‘Antiques Road show’ : that is how frustrated I was.<br /><br />We visited Mrs Meg and Mrs Gordon who are now 1 day overdue for their baby. Both are well and theirs cannot arrive before Wednesday as Mr Gordon has things to do. And Mrs B had her baby last week. Well done Mrs B – bet you are glad that is out. AND Bulgarian Anna had her baby last week – total labour time was 15 minutes with her baby born on the living room floor. I sooo hope that Ice Shelf does not do that to us! Given the week ahead of me.<br /><br />Well we are 7 days till B-Day! Expected date is either next Monday or Tuesday and we move to Fridge Manor this Thursday!<br /><br />Mrs Fridge had a difficult night last night, apparently my fault as when I came to bed I turned the light off and that woke her up. Not sure that is quiet how it happened as I could not get to sleep for last night for her lady sleep noises (that’s snoring to us chaps). I am not sure when she got up but poor thing was up half the night. At least she got some sleep and I had arranged for the new ‘Glasvegas’ CD to arrive in the post for her.<br /><br />Mr Fridge also got Lydia checked into Maverick’s garage to have her shoes and brakes done and Mr Fridge just happened to mention the football at the weekend (Scotland back to their usual naffness) and off he went! Mr Fridge think Maverick needs to take anger management classes and stop following quality football, and also Hearts FC, or he will bust a blood vessel.<br /><br />Well done to Shrek and Cat at the weekend for completing the Glasgow half marathon : one had cramp and the other had too many pints the day before.<br /><br />Mr Fridge is now off to the pub to read some birthing notes and find out what is going to happen.<br /><br />Oh! OH! Yes Mr Bart in Scandinavia! IKEA do suck (and large ones at that) and not rock! I worry for your mental health, especially after every conversation we have. IMOA!

During our weekend we went through to Glasgow to meet Mr Fridge Dad and then Mrs Fridge to meet her friends for lunch. Mr Fridge Dad had a nice Italian meal in an Italian restaurant in George Square, enjoying traditional fish and chips. (Yes, I know). Mr Fridge Dad was getting ready to go off on holiday with Mr Fridge Uncle and Mr Fridge Aunt, down south to Engerland somewhere. Long drive with an overnight stay to pick up Mr Fridge Aunt. Well the point of this ramble is that Mr Fridge Brother has been concerned for some time about the sheer quantity of tea that Mr Fridge Dad drinks and was worried that he may be giving himself tannin poisoning! Well Mr Fridge Brother, you can see from the picture below that you have nothing to worry about. Mr Fridge Dad takes his tea so weak and tea-less that he is effectively drinking hot milk. In the picture it is soooooo weak that only the bubbles on the froth of the milk show that there is actually something in the cup at all : the tea bag was not infused, no. It merely stood nearby and looked at the pot.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHjhXBst298ctOWlvGw9CDIhBFLIkoCtY6X7H36tyUe8zOUVhgmSBfI0j9c92EAIfCfcBkAW5vyuKa7bHxzGM8GKcl7FbifcpLc7oUVWYCfsVedle3XcbFh90eyrnoZuJ4HpGHMiL0Oos/s1600-h/23082008677.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238916170958468594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHjhXBst298ctOWlvGw9CDIhBFLIkoCtY6X7H36tyUe8zOUVhgmSBfI0j9c92EAIfCfcBkAW5vyuKa7bHxzGM8GKcl7FbifcpLc7oUVWYCfsVedle3XcbFh90eyrnoZuJ4HpGHMiL0Oos/s400/23082008677.jpg" border="0" /></a> If you look carefully you will see Mr Fridge in the teapot.<br /><br />Mrs Fridge Housewife has been doing a marvelous job getting Property Empire ready for letting and after less than a day's advertising the first person is coming for a viewing tomorrow! Wish us well! Well done Mrs Fridge! What a wife!<br /><br />Last night we went on a tour round the maternity department in the hospital we hope to have Ice Shelf in. Just like the first visit to the antenatal classes, it makes it all the more real and for only the second time in years and years I felt nervous but Mrs Fridge seemed nice and calm and the visit was very helpful and useful.<br /><br />3 weeks to go. I am an expectant father with one more house move to go.FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297935212299345449.post-36365899456987304972008-08-21T20:08:00.006+01:002008-08-26T22:28:35.214+01:00Mr Fridge Normal DayHello Reader,<br /><br />A normal day today! I know this as I had sandwiches with me. I went to work, home and no packing, unpacking, cleaning or anything like that. In fact Mrs Fridge is on maternity leave so I have a housewife to come home to for the next coming months. I came home to a tidy flat, food ready, beer in glass and her standing dutifully by the dining table in nice clothes and hands clasped expectantly in front of her.<br /><br />That said, going to work was not so much fun today. The temporary move has added a few city centre miles onto my route (which was fine Mon-Wed as I was in very early) but today the schools went back and it took me 1 hour 15 minutes to get in due to fat parents driving their equally fat kids to school in their fat carrying 4x4s and therefore clogging up the arteries of Edinburgh, which is not helped by a stupid amount of road works while we have new infrastructure fitted to make way for our new tram system.<br /><br />Today I received the most stoopid letter I have seen in ages. (Not since I was told I was overcharged by Costco on my £41.98 purchase as it should have been £41.98) My bank sent me a letter saying. 'Thank you for letting us know that you have changed your address.'<br /><br />They sent it to the old address.<br /><br />One has to assume it is automated. For those who are worried about us being taken over and dominated and ruled by sentient computing machines need not worry. When letters like that from my bank, and Costco, are sent out then all we need to worry about is the Space Muppets that code them up and design the systems. At worst we would by ruled by officious bureaucrats who ignore common sense and what the population need or want. Hold on . . . it's too late . . . our political leaders are like that . . . (except for the SNP Scottish Government in Scotland, of course! Phew! Close one - just saved myself from an earful from Mr Fridge Dad on Saturday).<br /><br />Oh! Hello to new reader, Huw, the cricket plank. Thanks for adding me and hope the journey back home went smoothly!<br /><br />Booby - I have no contact me page on this . . . yet. You have my email. Had your number 2 child yet?FridgeHairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278200101928179643noreply@blogger.com1
