It was rather loud
But to be honest I was sleepily aghast at what Monty's neighbours must have been woken up to.

I rather got the impression from Monty when we bumped him to him the following day
that they are probably used to it, poor buggers.

They certainly seemed to take it better than my weird former neighbour in Wimbledon
(Ok, we were far too loud that one night, but did he realise how much of a fucking racket his sprog kicked up when she decided all was not well with the world at any given hour of the day?)

Kids innit
parents never realise that sort of thing because it's their beloved crotchfruit doing it.

Well, this is true
To be fair to him, I will probably be a peculiar and shifty-looking individual married to a mail-order Asian bride and still living with my mother by the time my hypothetical first child appears on the scene.

In the meantime, I appear to have run out of brandy, which is probably an indication that it's worth retiring to bed...

Pfft
lightweight.

You don't need a mail order bride - just encourage your sister to get sprogged up, children are mcuh more fun when they're someone elses, you can give them noisy toys and then give their parents a cheery wave as you fuck off back to your life of comparitive luxury anf sleep.

I'm glad you clarified that point
Halfway through reading that, I thought you were about to suggest I take up Bert's post in his absence...

Haha, no definitely not
especially since of the two of us, I'm the one with a sister who's married to my brother.

Yeah, even though I can see how that could work in a perfectly legal and above-board sense, once you take step-siblings into account
It just doesn't seem quite right...

Es[eciallly when you consider
there's only one set of grandparents..

Ah. Well, that downgrades it from
"not quite right" to "frankly worrying."

It all makes perfect sense when it's explained
but I would struggle to summon the energy and concentraion to do so right now.
Besides, I'm from the north. Most things which are mildly untoward can be shrugged off with that excuse.
(berk, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:39, Reply)

That is a very good point.
And similarly, I haven't the energy nor the concentration to argue otherwise. I think I may have to call it a night. Good night!
