    Great picture! But if I follow will I get more of those or will I just get lots of product reviews?!

      Erm, I doubt you’ll get more pictures like this… But you won’t get loads of product reviews either. 1 a week maybe? Thanks for all your comments.

    Congrats on the little one, I’ve enjoyed reading other bits of your blog too (I’m also a keen cyclist but can’t run for toffee) but this pic came to my attention via facebook. And now I seem to have created a bit of a shit storm on the Happy Place page to rival what your lad created *just because* I happened to challenge someone on a heterosexist comment. So it was really refreshing to read “the story of a gay grandad” before I go to sleep.
    Good luck with the OCD, I don’t have issues with bodily fluids, mine’s more to do with where things live and coins….

    Hello Al, it’s your local paper the Courier here in Tunbridge Wells. I’d love to pop up a story on our website http://www.courier.co.uk. Please may we have your permission to use the photos? We would obviously give the website and the photographer a heavy mention! Would you also have time to email some quotes to us about the whole ‘gone viral’ aspect? mary.harris@courier.co.uk I hope you have time and thank you, Mary

    This made me smile today. Thanks for the amazing post. As parents, we always want that perfect picture … and our kids always going to do their own thing. I’m just laughing that he did it all over your arm and that poor photographers tarp or flooring. LOL

    I just saw this on Facebook yesterday. I showed it to my wife and told her I was pretty sure I know who that poor dude is. I was right!

    I first saw it on Facebook. I do a daddy blog and plan to have it scheduled for a future post, a little bit closer to Father’s Day. God Bless you and your family!
