As I was telling CListCtrl and Bacon last night, one should always avoid fleeting cultural references when naming your children.

And even more important when getting a tattoo.
Pity those who got a "Gary Glitter" or "Jimmy Savile" in the 80's...

I am sure when I was picking up my daughter from school last week a little girl (too young for primary education) was with a family and they were calling her Future.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Well, we keep being told that children are the future...

Sadly we live in a far too sensible area. As an example the 1,000+ high school has never had more than one or two pregnancies in a year. The most risqué names would be Sara [without a H] or maybe a Siobhan [spelt correctly].

I tried to convince my offspring to name one of their kids "Zen" -(s)he'd be the coolest kid at school with a sardonic smile and not phased by anything.
Surprisingly they declined!

Strange that, I was speaking to pals Kylie and Jason about how their new born twins were getting on, they said that they were growing up fast and in fact Arduino was just starting to walk and RasPi was almost there.

You'll be renaming them to Sunshine and Elephant once they become Teenagers.

I'm thinking that she probably hasn't heard the "By the power of grayskull" joke before so I just messaged it to her.

Particularly when you first wake up:
1) Who am I?
2) Where am I?
3) Who are you?
4) How did I get here?
5) What did I do last night? Oh, Gawd, I didn't, did I?

well OG, waking up is always a good start - one of these days I'll wake up and find myself dead I suppose, but until then, every day above ground is a good one

6) What was I thinking before sleeping on the bed?

I didn't always used to manage that...
Herself came to bed one night and found me asleep, kneeling on the floor with my head on the bed having failed to remove my shirt over my head (because the bed was in the way) and my trousers past my knees (because the floor was in the way) and just gave up and went to sleep as I was...

I don't remember seeing you at the party.

That explains the flash card from Sean's camera in my jacket pocket! Me thinks this could be a nice little earner - what do I hear for the "Chris Maunder Before and After" photo set?

As long as he didn't borrow Sean's man-kini, it's probably safe.
