  Not from us. Poxy was still posting over the weekend so unless he is extremely dedicated and up there with technology, I doubt it. Ours is due on Thursday...

  Not here either. Ours was due at the weekend. However, I think he took one peek at the snow and decided to stay where he is until the weather improves.

  The first one is normally last - two weeks of hot curries and going on the swings for Mrs Poxy coming up.

  I can recommend some good curry houses Giles: last = late? a Freudian slip?

  I did mean late - and the last one was late but not the last, that'll be the one that's due in September ( or more likely October )

  We went to Red Rose Tandoori on Holloway Road last time - a madras and a couple of cobra worked a treat.

  I love the flyers from the Red Rose - Red Rose Tandoori as recommended by The Darkness, Ann Widecombe, Anthony Worrall Thompson and the Whittington midwives...

  I did get to my family first; unfortunately the Whittington doesn't have wifi. The midwives were good and tried hard to get us home the same day. I can sense a lot more early morning comments from me over the next few months...

  Congratulations to Geoff and family.
  
  No progress here. it would appear that Pixy (do you see what I've done there?) is a tad shy.

  Arthur Alexander entered this world thirty minutes into yesterday. Eight days late but we shall love him all the more as a result.
  
  Some of the more connected of you folk may find a photo on a certain flickr.com website.
  
  Of course, I think he's beautiful. Mother is doing well also.

  Arthur Alexander Poxy. A lovely name. Congratulations. We should set up a "who has the best baby" poll.

  Cool name! Congratulations to you both! Sounds like Arthur could be a potential suitor for our Elsie when he's a bit older!

  Arthur? Elsie? What is this, 1874?

  Yes, names have gone retro. We get them by looking up where we live on the census websites, and then calling them after people who used to live in our houses. Our new one is called Esme Rose. I think they are all better than dominic, if that is your real name. @Poxy - how did you manage to get a photo up so quickly? Don't you have anything else to do?

  Great name, Esme, because it's one of my favourite Salinger stories (for esme, with love and squalor)

  If there has to be a trend, retro names aren't so bad. It's better than that craze for stupid things like Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches or Pixie.
  
  Or God forbid, Heavenly Hirrani Tiger Lily.

  Ooh, I Iove old-fashioned names. Esme is particularly good. I'm a total Salinger geek... er... I mean fan. I actually wrote an essay on that story when I was in school. And I have a character called "Esme" in one of my own (vastly inferior) works.
  
  Congratulations to the parents!

  I have similar feelings about Salinger - though i think franny and zooey is my favourite. This should probably be another thread.
