Dad stories"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

Did my dad read QOTW in the early 1980s?Fans will remember my dad is a biologist by trade, and as such a lecturer and head of at the university.
Twice a year he would bring piles of essays home, which he would mark in the front room.
One day when I was but a guttersnipe, I remember "helping" him - the essays had a yellow top sheet with a perforated strip, and I would tear these off and order them neatly for him by log number.
I remember glancing over, and seeing him chuckling quietly to himself and shaking his head, as he read one of the papers.
"What's so funny, dad?" I enquired.
Presumably not wishing to break his concentration by explaining the details of molecular biology to a six year old, he simply said, "Well ... basically ... this guy thinks he's a lot funnier than he actually is."
