The dad part of being a dad who works 50+ hours a week is really easy. It's a couple of hours a day doing stuff you really like doing anyway.
Being a mam is the hard thing, that's why I've got so much respect for you and JP.
You are a credit to yourself and the rest of the cawklords.
I'm a big fan of things like "As you will be aware .." and " I'm sure you will agree ..." or "What type of fuckwit would not realise ..."Quote:

If I'm being srs bznz, then I'll dress actual queries as rhetoric and eschew the technically correct punctuation altogether as you do, as if there is only one possible answer (an answer I favour). I'll prod the reader by alluding to that answer a little later in the piece.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, it puts my narrative in a slightly more authoritative light.
If I'm more confident about the query, I'll append a curly wurly to it so that the respondent reaffirms my belief in the reply, yet wonders if he or she has won a small battle by doing so.
This seemingly insignificant gesture often leads to greater concessions further down the line. A small part of the dance which I enjoy in its entirety.
The downside to all this is that I spend longer on words, which I don't charge for, than I do for the numbers :eyebrows:
Passive aggressive pros ftw.

People don't half get upset when their music trackers die. I don't really get why.
I'm only on punktorrents but I've raped that for what I like and I'd say there are about 10 albums out per year when I think 'I gotta have that' - and they're always on rutracker anyhow.
Get a life, get laid, wankers.
What is Albums?? Is that something you put your kids photos in:DQuote:
