    Default Well this is good news

    No, really. In the early hours of this morning (why is it always the early hours) a third assassin offspring was born. Early reports indicate he has the required number of fingers and toes, and an anus (I must say I don't recall the midwives specifically checking that last item for baby assassins one and two, although is is undoubtedly a vital thing to have. At least we know he's qualified for a political career.)

    Also, only one nose and absolutely no tentacles.

    I feel a Spitfire or two may be in order once I have driven Mrs Assassin back from the hospital. Umm, and spent all day entertaining the first two small assassins. Oh well, before bed, anyway.

    Congratulations.

    I can't help but wonder what would happen with someone without an anus.

    Well done Mrs. Assassin.

    Have a pint or three for me EA
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    lol, at first I took "assassin" literally and also misread some other parts and thought: what madness is this (something about baby killers who took tropheys off them, mixed with abortion debate, the kraken and octosquids )?!!

    So, having finally realized what the whole thing refers to, I send over some beer and congratulations!

    Well done, EA. Hope the Mrs and yourself enjoy your new delivery. Remember, 18 years from now (or, with the way the youth of today go, 25 years from now) and you're wondering when you and the Mrs. will get your home back to yourselves... you asked for this. Just teasing. Well done. We can't buy spitfire over here, but I'll have a small glass of 18 year old Oban I keep around for such occassions.

    Congratulations, English Assassin!

    I wondered what the appropriate celebratory smillie was.

    For some reason, this one made me think of the joys of parenting - perhaps it resembles the exuberance of childhood (and the dust flying!).



    But definitely not this one:



    This one is how I imagine the little Assassins in a year or two:



    And this maybe the entire Assassin clan:
