Well folks its now Official. As of 05:58hrs 27/06/2011 I became a Grandad when my daughter Jasmine gave birth at Kettering Matternity Unit to a bouncing baby boy, I am told to be named Cody Richard wheighing in at 8lb1oz and apparently quite hairy after just over 4 hours of labour.

I am already thinking that I might, for a laugh call him Ahab as in Captain Ahab from Moby Dick ( Cody Richard shortens to Cody Dick ).


Yes I know pictures mean proof, but they will follow.

Edit bit. I got the first name wrong it was Cody not toby. I must take the cotton wool out of my ears.

And I thought I was one of only a handful of blokes old enough to qualify, on this forum!

Still, there are old builders and bold builders, but probably very few old and bold builders.

Nonetheless, congrats to the young Mum, and grump Gramps!

PS - "Grasndad"????? My teeth must have slipped.
