Or Tasers, if Cras works in a genuinely scary office.
Teatsters, the boob replacement snack for newborns
Teasers! It's malteasers in bar form. And each segment looks like a bum farting in the bath.
Looks like a myp's-eye view of Malc.

Luckily I was face down at the time.
We have a new starter in the office who's from Malta. My opening gambit was "Would I be ok to refer to a group of people from Malta as Maltesers?"

Smooth, I'm sure you'll agree.
Ask them about the Popeye Village.

This is something I've never heard about so I shall do no more investigations until they tell me about it.I hope it lives up to how ace it sounds!

Looks like something out of The Last of Us. Mmm, tasty tasty Clickers.
Ok, let's try this!
It is nice. It is like you've got lots of teeny tiny mslteasers all mooshed together.

Or I found it better to imagine I was 190ft tall and they were all normal sized Malteasers that had become embedded in a melty chocolate lake (like in Willy Wonka) that had burst it's bank when I stamped on the chocolate factory (it was an accident... I tripped :( ) and which later solidified.
I can't believe you would kill all those oompahlumpas.
I TRIPPED!

:'(

God rest their little orange souls.

Had a phone call of my new Manager (based in That London) to talk about the email I sent him regarding my position at work.

The email was sent a couple of weeks ago so I assumed he was going to brush it under the carpet, but no.

He said I am now a Senior Graphic Designer and he'll be in touch with HR next week to sort out my new pay.

So that was nice.

Just had my official letter and new pay details.

Works out that they've given me a 15.4% rise.

Well done, Zardoz!

Also, I wore my Lucky 7/Thirteen shirt to the cottage and got at least two compliments, so well done you!
Congrats, Zardoz!
Brilliant news Zardoz. :)
Good news Z! more RC aeroplane toys.

Well, now I'm a senior I'll be needing a junior to do all my work.

Can you colour in without going over the lines?

Good work! :D
Child number 2 will arrive around 28th of April next year :)

Had a 13 week scan Friday and all was good

My wife is having a rough time with morning sickness though, but hopefully that should pass soon.
Yay!.

In my experience, 2 is actually only half the work as one
Congratulations, Asfish! I really hope the sickness passes soon!
Awesome!

Does this continue? Is having 8 kids effectively no work at all?

I had been told that by a few friends with 2 and what they said made sense.

Recently my wife's friend (who has a boy our sons age and another one 6 months) has been round twice and burst into tears on the doorstep as the 2 of them are driving her nuts :o

So not sure now, that said will just have to get on with it!
Without wanting to put you off, and congratulations btw, but I have found its more like the Fibanici sequence:

First kid is difficulty 1,
add 2 for the second to make it difficulty 3
Add 3 for the third to make a difficulty of 6
And then add 4 for the fourth to make 10!

But then it's the same for the satisfaction and joy you get back too.

That's not the Fibonacci sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence is:
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89 and so on and so forth.

Oh yeah,triangular numbers that's what I meant. Not a good few maths days for me :(. Couldn't add 3 4 digit numbers and then take away a 4th on Friday, and now I mess up twice on Fibonacci!

My son has had a high temperature for a few days, last night he woke up at midnight and insisted I got in bed with him. I tried to sneak out when he was asleep a couple of times but he kept waking up saying "Don't go Daddy" then went back to sleep! So this morning was chaos and I was later into work.

Was thinking how much more chaos this sort of situation will be when we have a small baby and my wife will have less time on her hands!

I imagine the eight one flies right on out.
Half way through season 6.... I have not read this thread so far.

You just suck it up and get on with it, because you have no choice.

(Seriously, if I can do it on my own - token Gaz gets to watch I guess - then I'm sure you'll both manage :) )
Congrats on the baby news!

People who have more than two are insane.
My parents had 6 children. I can confirm that they are insane.

I'm also one of 6, my mother is definitely insane.
