Face looks like a themed Google logo. Changes by the day.

Being known to a handful of healthcare professionals affectionately as ‘that bloke who had the Boris Bike crash’.

Talking like Louis Spence.

Chunks falling off face like an maxillofacial advent calendar. Festive.

6
Patronising kids in the supermarket who stare to ‘always wear a bike helmet’, like some kind of deranged 1950s superhero.

5
Looking like a vagrant whose stuff never gets touched. Also festive.



4
Hours spent concussed equals hours not spent hearing about Eurozone crisis.

3
Drinking through a straw makes 2 year old son feel superior.

Finally being able to look my hero Erik Estrada in the eye.
We both know what this is like.

Setting the clock on a Lamona oven - UNDERSTANDING YOUR BRITISH DAD #BRITISHDAD

- Setting the clock on a Lamona oven -



Here’s how to change the clock on a Lamona oven.

Hold down the first two buttons on the left,

then keep holding those 2 buttons down while you use the + or - buttons to set the time.

Here's my badly shot video!



It's not funny and by the time you see this, it’s probably not much use to you either.

But at least I know where I can find the answer now.


I get at least 10 hits per day from people searching for this.
You must all have Howdens Kitchens.

Also - don't think the Lamona oven works until the clock has been set...

Leave me a comment if it helped!
Click here or on comments below - THANKS

-- this is an old post now, so I have to approve each comment, which sometimes takes a while--- sorry about that - it looks like your comment didn't get through.
I do get all your comments though, and I do approve them, just didn't want you to think they're being ignored.

By the way, I blog here most days, all about - being a British Dad. (there's no manual for that, either).

Do you have your own lookalike? -- Update

Got some great replies to the "Who is YOUR lookalike" post

Toddler Quotes

Some Toddler Quotes:

"High fibe".

Son, sat on sofa eating ice cream he served for himself by taking it out of the freezer.

"It's not real. It's just pretend mummy".

Singing to the Andrew Marr Show title sequence music every Sunday morning.

Car.
It’s Andrew Marr.
He’s in his car.
And, he’s driving in to work.
Marr!
Herrre comes Aaandrew Marr!

Have you ever tried describing the concept of ME to a 2 year old?
Its a bit like a knockoff Abbot and Costello sketch.

("That's me.
That's me.
No, you say that's you.
Me?
No, that's me.
Me.
No, that's me, Daddy.
That's me.") etc.

Every time son sees someone wearing a bowler hat, he starts singing:

"Every body's going to the party.
Every body's going to the party.
Every body's going to the party..."

"Fffft plsssth".

(Translation: Open the car roof, please)

How Broadcast Magazine photos are done.

How Broadcast Magazine photos are made. (In 1998).

Photographer:
Dont smile. Look down.

I look down.

Photographer:
Now look up.

I look up.

Photographer:
WITHOUT moving your head.

I try doing that, but I can tell he still hasn't got what he's after.

Photographer:
Now look like you don't want to be here.
