Rory, born this morning, 10lb1oz. Deeply chilled. A bit chubby, just like his old man.
I am chuffed to bits.
Phone camera doesn't do him justice, haven't synced the proper ones yet.

Thanks for all your good wishes!
I've been on a high for days. I got the wee man and the Mrs home today - in the 360 naturally.
I span the car earlier in the day on a roundabout whilst dashing about buying flowers etc.

Diesel or ice I reckon. I've certainly taken roundabouts much more agressively than that in the past without ill effects. I felt the front understeer, eased back, then the back end kicked out. It happened too quickly to correct. First time for everything. I was by myself in the car, the road was empty and I brought it to a halt very quickly so no harm done. But drove the family home later
very carefully

Sounds intresting.
How's your Jockanese coming along, learnt any intresting phrases???
Never spin with the better half in you'll get $hi* every time you approach 27mph on the slightest of bends

Skiddling is my current favourite - it means playing in water
"Corned Beef" is a good one too - deef - deaf.
