So do you have a solid background in Glenn Miller era trivia, too? And cribbage. Having him at the pub for Quiz Night is like having an extra generation of knowledge - plus he know all about sports.<br />I also have a pathetically low tolerance for alcohol - I get silly after the first drink, but never get to the third one, since my hand literally quits working properly and I drop every drink past the second.<br />Little suggestion that worked well for me with my basketball playing son - figure out a way to convince your son that having you watch his match is bad luck. (Not trying to be a neglectful mom, but three games a week times three kids equals two more days than there are in a week.)

Our little boy is only four and most nights we have to remove either a trowel or a sword (toy) from his bed; not sure what that means for his future though...<br />As for Hello moments, I'm with you there; I bought my Mum a subscription to Hello many years ago and keep on renewing it because as soon as she's read the mag she passes it on to me - everyone's a winner! I can name almost every member of the Royal family and their various offspring, plus the same for Z list celebrities, foreign royals, pop stars, etc. Although I would fail miserably at sporting 'celebrities'.Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888014986650598361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778176631217288215.post-29577529763573719582013-03-28T11:41:19.869+00:002013-03-28T11:41:19.869+00:00I know, it was on the tv non stop all evening!!
