    Ah, that did make me laugh!

    Well, Mrs MSE, there are ways of telling your husband the good news, but announcing it in the press probably isn't the best way in this case, unless you just never actually get any quality time with Mr MSE to tell him - which I could well believe! :rotfl:

    And Martin, so they have created a pregnancy, what will be the next bit of fake news they'll report about you... a change of wardrobe perhaps :eek::eek::eek:

    And I sincerely hope the story didn't upset either of you, as it can be a very touchy subject - I know only too well :o

    Typical newspaper journalism.

    It always amazes me about how people still believe anything they read in the papers. Everybody I know has managed to find faults in items written about a subject or person they know about. But they still assume that everything else is written without error..

    This will probably turn out to be sourced from some vandalism on Wikipedia ... whom will then quote back the Independant as a credible source for it being put back in :rolleyes:
  • Martin, your wife is lovely but I can promise you IT WASN'T ME!

    What does your milkman look like? Has he stopped looking you in the eye lately?

    Are you absolutely sure? There's lots of talk on the 'Poundland' threads about their pregnancy test kits, if Mrs MSE wanted to check ;).
  • Mrs Alias is pregnant again,

    Must be the season..

    Hi Martin.
    I've never seen a post where you thanked a poster. I'm sure it's not because you're ungrateful, it's below you or anything like that. Rather I believe, you as the owner of MSE, understandibly, do not publicly wish to take sides in discussions by thanking posts you agree with. (Or not thanking posters you disagree with).
    I'm sure we all enjoy using your great website. Keep up the hard work.

    Kind regards, tb.

    PS: It's not necessary to thank me.:rotfl:
  • Martin a bit gay ?


    Maybe they meant in the old fashioned way

    i.e

    Happy
    Theres only two rules to remember
    1) Im always right
    2) See rule 1
