Great news, MC. Congratulations und viel Glűck!
7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

congratulations mate, all the benefits of having kids, but without most of the drawbacks, satisfying to know you have already served your time in raising your own kids. sm4
