The move to San Diego
My dad was getting restless, so decided to move the family to San Diego. The business of getting work in San Diego seemed complicated, but he had a friend there he trusted to do the leg work of getting employed. So, he didn't worry about that at all. It was covered.

We made the move! We showed up at my dad's friend's house. He brought out a stack of employment application forms. My dad said, "No, you don't understand, we've spent all our money. I need to go to work immediately." My dad's friend explained he couldn't be expected to do more than preliminary scouting. He had a point.

Such a pleasant city to be homeless.

The Talk
Duty was delegated to dad after the discovery of a poorly-concealed Paul Raymond Publication by my mum.

No Paxman-facing politician could have evaded a topic more skillfully.

I am a useless father

Page 3
I'm sure my Dad thought I was gay, or was going to turn out gay. I didn't like football, motor racing, darts or cars in anyway. I was bookish and drew pictures of superheroes. It was the late 70's and he came from a different age. Every evening he would walk in the door from the factory where he worked as a machine smith making flutes, sit down at the table where myself and my sister were waiting as Mum dished up the dinner, he'd pull out a folded copy of the sun from his back pocket, open it to page 3, turn the black and white image of the semi naked stunna towards me and pronounce 'Cor, look at them son. Don't get many of them to the pound do ya!' or 'She won't sink in the swimming baths eh!' or 'Get a couple of warm spoons son, pop 'em back in eh!'.

To this day I do not know what reaction he expected.

I was 7.

Parents Day
When I was about 10 my Dad came downstairs wearing a fire-engine red, wide collared, disco-style shirt, to take me to parents evening. It was ridiculous. I begged him not to wear it but he did.

He also then wore the same shirt, once a year, for every parents evening from that year until I left school, despite putting on about 7 stone over decade, so his belly potruded through the gaps between the buttons.

Wanker-move, but I will do the same when I have kids, no doubt.

Not my mum and dad
But I think most parents are fucking superheroes. When it comes to the way you look up to them as a child and when you become a parent to have your own son look at you like you are that superhero.

I understand that some people don't have the best parents in the world. No one is perfect, my parents certainly weren't perfect the shit I saw as a kid was awful at times. But when things were good they were really good, and the love that I felt as a child made me realise how safe I was and that my parents are as close as I would ever get to having my own superman and Wonder Woman. Literally willing to do anything to ensure my safety and that of my siblings.

I can now only hope to god that, minus the negatives, I will be able to provide the same for my son, despite his mother doing pretty much everything she can in every possible way to prevent that from happening.

My apologies for this being a personal post.

I could write about Doctor Fucking Who if that would be more widely accepted?
