Home alone? Yes please.

WE'RE looking to buy a new, slightly bigger house at the moment...but we've made a dreadful, dreadful mistake.

Trying to be oh so modern parents and involving the children in our final decision is turning into a living nightmare.

I remember once watching the marvellous comedian Dave Allen mimicking his children scouring the fridge for food.

Like little Nearnderthals he told how they flung open the fridge door with the barely intelligible chant of "anythingdecentinere" usually following by the wail of "theresnevereanythingdecentinthebloodyfridge".

I laughed along with my favourie Irish comic, little knowing that his impression would come back to haunt me.

A pint of pride please!

NEARLY 15 years ago I cradled my newborn son in my arms, the proudest bloke on this earth.

On Friday I watched a snapshot of the Edgbaston lunch session between England and S Africa from the pub near the office...a very proud man once more.
