Look forward to when he's old enough to do so.
And roll on 15+ years, it was my son last night asking me why I wasn't staying up :lol:

"Yes".
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

That's the first time I've seen "Joyce" and "straight" in related sentences...

100% the best.

My 5 year old will often get up at all hours of the morning to watch West Ham games with me.... yeah i know we shouldnt be giving her broken sleep etc, normally she sleeps in on the Sunday to make up for getting up in the middle which keeps the misses happy.

The bond we build over the games though is something special, especially given all her family on my side are still based on east london we often spend the match talking about family over there etc.
Being one of 4 boys I got little one on one attention (other than getting belted)
I used to sit with Dad and listen to Collingwood games on the radiogram on Saturday afternoons - great bonding time

The ultimate reward was when he took only me to the '70 Grand Final
I hate Ted Hopkins to this day :twisted:
Timed that well :oops:

Went down to the Sailmaster for lunch today, what a top notch place, wish it was closer to home!
Great beers on tap, comfortable furniture, great views of the marina and the meals were sensational. Best seafood basket I've ever had!
If it wasn't so far away from most things I could convince the missus to move down there!

Was that the $150 seafood basket thingy? They are sensational.

I took the ex there to share one for what I knew was going to be our final outing together, it had been on the bucket list for a while.

Nah, I'm not that rich, just went the $46 basket.
Was more than enough, I'm still bloody full 6 hours later!
Missus is already talking about regular ubers down there.
I live literally 10 mins from 100 pubs and most of them are crap. :evil:

Ticketmaster's Resell facility.
Accidentally doubled on tickets to a concert but re-sold 2 of them in less than 2 days to not be out of pocket at all.
