Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated

Hi guys,
Haven't been on here in about a year, had some issues with my login and then just fell out of it, I'm flaky like that.
Been some big changes to my life since then.

Got laid off from my job in May and found myself unemployed for the first time in my life. Bearing in mind my wife was 6 months pregnant at this time it wasn't a very nice time. Thankfully after only 4 weeks of ringing every factory and company and calling in a lot of favours I got a new job that is even better than the one before.

In September my son was born, Ruan James McLaughlin, a big bruiser of a boy and a chip off the old block, by that I mean he just lays the eating and farting!

Finally starting to get my life back to normal and having 5 minutes to myself again so I thought I should check in.

Thanks mate,
If I can get this app working right I'll be hanging around here a bit more.
I'm gonna be in your country this year for a rugby World Cup match, can't wait!
Hope your well yourself.

Welcome back Kevin.

Your wife was 6 months in May, and your son was born in September - I make that a 10 month pregnancy, your wife must have been huge.

I'd argue Edinburgh for the best in the UK but I've never been to Cardiff before so I'd be only too happy to be proved wrong.
It's not until September but I'm researching pubs already! lol

You got me Rob, must've been 6 months when I get the new job.
He was actually born by C section on his due date. But she was actually HUGE.

Sounds like a plan my friend! That's a nice looking straight razor in the other thread. It looks like a Sheffield straight but I have never heard of them before.
