Baby photo's
08.17.04 (1:02 pm)   [edit]
A friend has just put some pics of the new arrivals onto the net, for those of you that asked, you can see them at www.khaosproductions.com. Under Debbies new babies.

The twin arrivals
08.10.04 (5:43 am)   [edit]
Debs in hospital, just given birth, Boy (Charlie) 6lb 1/2 oz Girl (Sophie) 5lb 7 1/2oz. All doing well, labour lasted bout 1 1/2 hours. Got to hospital about 8.45, Boy at 9.45 girl 9.55am. More to follow (news that is, not babies lol)
 
Am I back?
04.25.04 (1:22 pm)   [edit]
Have I been missed?

I must apologise I've found this other website www.footiemanager.com Where you get to manage your own football team in real time and I've become addicted. It's putting a strain on my marriage, having to switch between a busy working schedule, managing a professional football club and also family life! If anyone knows of a good clinic to help me with this addiction or failing that an idea of how I can give up work so I can concentrate more time on running Oxford United please let me know.

I am dictating this entry to Debs who is taking great pleasure in looking at me while she types (had to stop her typing in her own words, just when I was going to say 'big head') but I guess at least it shows she has a talent for something!
Anyway, Debs belly is getting bigger and the two occupants are now fully moving about, reminiscent of the film Alien! I now know, that more than likely one is a
girl which ruins my 5 a-side footy team unless I can get Debs interested in playing so that we can have a mixed team (Debs interjects...some hope).

15 weeks to go, all being well, so now I should really attempt to blog more and I will make more of an effort as long as you don't mind the odd comment about my qualities as a footy manager! :twisted:

 
It's Twins
03.11.04 (11:03 am)   [edit]
Grinning from ear to ear, the reason for the big belly becomes clear, she's carrying a double load, does this mean the 2 assets are going to get twice as big, rubs hands together gleefully and with anticipation.
Moving on lots of happy thoughts here although it still hasn't sunk in really yet. I did ask the midwife what the chances of twins were and she told me it was 80-1 blast i should have had a tenner on it !
Looking forward to everything being doubled cots,clothes,bottles,slee pless nights and all that goes with it, I'm now going to retire to the bath with a strong cup of coffee and contemplate the future family of 4 boys, on the + side we now have a 5 a side footie team in the making. The boys on pitch and good old Dad in goal (saves me doing too much running about)
Bye for now.
Mark
 
Huh..........
03.09.04 (10:55 am)   [edit]
One of Debbies friends came round this evening and had the audacity to say my blog was boring coz there was not enough funny stuff, well just for you Lisa here's a little something :P
Only joking, i'll have a look through our photo collection and see if I've got a nice funny 1 of you from 1 of our fancy dress parties, unless of course you send us lots of chocolate lmao.
see you all soon, oh and by the way we've now got broadband access when it finishes setting itself up, so super fast access is only a few days away.
Bye for now
 
Had to do it......Patriotism
03.06.04 (4:26 am)   [edit]
Debs has found me a really cool site and I'm definetly going to sign up =http://img16.photobucket.com/...
The story of England and the English is
one of history's most remarkable sagas.
The word "England" conjures up many
different images: from our great cities with
their imposing Georgian and Victorian architecture to the Medieval castles
and cathedrals of our country towns and
the delightful villages and tranquil meadows
of the rural shires, England's green and pleasant land. But it is our distinctive culture, our habits, values and traditions which are the unmistakable marks of English nationhood.

England's history as a nation reaches back far
into time and its influence is inescapable.
Our art, music, poetry and language trace their roots to the Saxons and beyond; yet our culture has succeeded in reaching out to every corner of the Earth, carrying with it the seeds of English civilisation and manners. Indeed, who on this planet has never been moved by the words of Shakespeare, Blake or Kipling, or drawn inspiration from the creativity and inventiveness of such brilliant architects and engineers as Wren and Brunel?

Surely the most potent of all our national
symbols is the English countryside, that great
tapestry in which is woven the spirit of the
English people. The chalk Downland of the
Pilgrim's Way; the majestic Lakeland where Wordsworth wrote and Wainwright walked;
and the high ridges of the Malverns, beacon
of the west and inspiration of Elgar -
each scene a family memory for the English
in peace and war.

"There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other.
That word is ENGLAND." - Sir Winston Churchill

In praise of pregnant women
03.05.04 (1:50 pm)   [edit]
Things are going well with the pregnancy at the mo, big check up on the 11th although we've just got over the first hurdle Debbie giving blood, i overheard the nurse ask her if she wanted to lay down, but good old Debs said she was ok. At this stage last time i found her on the floor, Debs and needles dont mix lol. But this time all credit to her she came out smiling.
The other good thing is the size of her twin assets, my god, there really getting big, seems all my birthdays have come at once lmao. I keep getting the urge to reach out and touch, but on the other hand i value my life, so i will try and resist the urge when we're out and from now on keep the grabbing for behind closed doors
lol.
Might have to go and have another peek now......... oh the lacey pink bra encasing all that lovely flesh........ think i better stop that train of thought for now.............

One other thing I've just rediscovered one of my favourite bands of the 80's, does anyone remember Haircut 100. Top quality cant stop playing it........
See you all soon, if i can drag myself away from 1 or 2 things hehehehehhehehehehehe
 
Plotting revenge
02.29.04 (11:36 am)   [edit]
For those of you who have seen the scandalous attack on me by Debs (see her blog grrrrrrr) this is just a short note to let you know that i will be going through all our old photo's looking for anything incriminating (I'm sure theres a lot) Any suggestions for what you would like to see, let me know I'm sure I've got something for all occasions. If not there's always paint shop pro for twiddling of images.

George sex slave ?
02.25.04 (8:25 am)   [edit]
As you may know my wife Debbie has a thing bout a certain George Clooney, which you can see mentioned on her blog. Anyhow on with the story, i come home from work and the subject of having George as a slave pops up (a long way round to get to this subject, to much for a 2 fingered typist to spell out). Apparently Debs would help him out of his leather studded thong and collar, when i asked her if he was to be a sex slave or a housework slave she just gave me one of those looks as if to say stupid question.
My question is ............. What would you use him for ?
Lynne, ladyblog and sillygrrrl sensible answers only please (as if)
Mark is back'''''''''''''''''
 
warning warning
02.05.04 (12:48 pm)   [edit]
Uh oh, Debs has plans to put naked baby pics of me onto her blog tomorrow as an act of vengance. If this comes about please do your best to avoid thinking of ne as i am now. Some things have got bigger lol.
Do i feel the old Mblog hostilities re-emerging.
It could be Mark v Debs part 2

02.05.04 (10:50 am)   [edit]

Naked wife photo's
02.05.04 (10:07 am)   [edit]
This is a desperate bid to attract more visiters amd boost my number of hits from 552 lol. It's an old ploy that i have used before, I apologies now for any incovinience. Please feel free to copy this idea at any time, just send donations to me.
ps If your desperate for any pics there might be some available for a fixed price lmao.
 
My Dad the spy
02.04.04 (3:08 pm)   [edit]
In about 1958 whilst my Dad was serving in the Royal Navy, he happened to be at Quay West, Florida. On a night out and after several drinks he decided to swap uniforms with an American Sailor. The scene is set!

English Sailor's were allowed full night's leave, whereas American's had to be back onboard before 12. Dad and his American drinking buddy were having a whale of a time imitating each other when an American shore patrol came in. They saw my Dad slumped incoherent in the corner wearing the uniform of the USA and promptly through him in the back of the MP patrol van and took him back to the American warship in dock.

Obviously when he came to, he didn't know where he was but he knew he was in the brig! The only thing that saved him was an Officer from his own ship vouching for him to confirm he was English. The American's were all set to start interogation, and I'm sure my Dad would have cracked within minutes, result!

Loss of 6 years good conduct stripes and stopped shore leave for 3 months....this is nothing compared to when he went AWOL in Tahiti :wink:
 
what happened was......
02.03.04 (12:03 pm)   [edit]
Back to the days of my misspent youth this time......
Bout 1985 Oxford v Everton cup game at the manor, for some reason i'd sold my ticket due to unforeseen circumstances, but on the day it turned out i could go, what to do ?.......
The only way of getting in was to bye a ticket from a tout, the only drawback being it was for the Everton end of the ground.............
So, after negotiating my way through 2,000 scousers i get to the front of the stand expecting to be let through the gate when i tell the steward i'm from Oxford. Not to be.... when i arrive theres 6 or 7 others all trying the same thing.
A tap on the shoulder " Oi mate have you got a light" I quickly light his ciggie. He inhales and says "where you from" It's pretty obvious so not trying to feel intimidated i reply "Oxford". "what you doing in here then" he asks. "trying to get in there" i reply pointing to the main Oxford stand, with that theres a huge rush of Everton fans trying to commit murder on 8 poor yellows fans. The steward then decides enough is enough and opens the gate, which we quickly escape through. The police now dont know what to do with us, so they decide to escort us down the side of the pitch, with the Oxford fans singing "Oxford here, Oxford there, Oxford everyf***ing where and clapping enthusiasticaly. When i eventualy get to my normal place i get a hero's welcome from the lads.
I've never had the heart to confess i went on the Everton end because that was the only way to get in, they thought i was going to take on all 2,000 of them.
That was the mentality of 1980's football fans.
I'm glad i grew up.
I got lots more, some funny, some sad, if the mood takes me i might share a few.
 
Unbelievable wind
01.31.04 (9:34 am)   [edit]
Just went out to lock the Cemetery gates and was treated to the sight of my 9 year old boy Ethan being blown down the hill and into the chapel wall, he landed in a heap on the grass. Thank god for the beer belly, kept my feet on the ground. I knew it would come in handy 1 day.
Another home win for Oxford United today against Kidderminster 2-1, that game was delayed for 25 mins in the second half for safety reasons. Up to 3rd in the league again now.
Just waiting for another of Debbie's culinary delieghts, she certainly knows the way to a mans heart, in my case definetly through the tummy :D.
Oh well bye for now.
 
Home cooking
01.30.04 (11:51 am)   [edit]
You can't beat it, Debs just cooked up the most amazing Chinese dinner, Chicken in a Debs sauce with bamboo shoots, baby sweetcorn and Water chestnuts...... Noodles with Chinese style vegetables and Broccoli in Oyster sauce.
A great way to really start my low Cholestrol diet, I think I'm in safe hands now with the cooking.
A very good 11/10 for the dinner.
 
Thanks Debs,
01.27.04 (12:01 pm)   [edit]
A big thankyou to my lovely wife for designing my new banner for me, it shows the other 2 loves of my life, Oxford and Oxford United, bout time i had something on it.
xxx
 
Oh dear, me as well
01.26.04 (12:59 pm)   [edit]


How evil are you?

I would never have guessed
 
LMAO, Stockings
01.25.04 (1:39 pm)   [edit]
Well, just because Debs put a photo of our work do on her blog, I thought to myself don't be shy and bashfull add 1 as well, so............... [image]Mark_441246145.jpg[/image] Here it is.
It was a good night out except for my mate Bear being chatted up by a load of German blokes from our BMW plant just across the road.
I think i look better than him anyway :wink:
 
Canasta war
01.22.04 (2:29 pm)   [edit]
Oh dear, war has broken out at the card table, Debs is partnering her brother and my Mum has doubled up with Debbie's Dad.
Now, Debs is a really good card player and my Mum does not like to loose, the score at the mo, Team Debs 2 - Team Mum 0.
Who do i support ???????????
The winner would be a good idea lol
 
Hectic time.
01.22.04 (11:52 am)   [edit]
Well its january 22nd already, the month has flown by! I've turned 40, Debs turned 34 and pregnant and I've been told by the doctor I've got high blood pressure, high cholestrol level, I'm overweight (apparently) and I've got to give up smoking. The diet has now started, no more red meat, cheese, cream, cakes or anything nice. Why is it that things that are nice are bad for you. (its not fair).
I'm now going to spend the evening trawling the net looking for low cholestrol foods and trying to find something nice that is in fact good for you, Mission impossible springs to mind.
I'm hopeing that Pheasant is low cholestrol as I've got a brace hanging in the shed from beating today. Me and my brother in law spent the day waving sticks at Pheasants encouraging them to fly towards a line of guns (this could start an interesting line of arguements on here). The end result was a walk in the woods, a brace, a soaking, a chase from a swan and a broken down Land Rover.
Time to trawl.
See you all soon..........
 
Funny cool site
12.31.03 (10:41 am)   [edit]
This had me in hysterics, its just my sort of humour.

You Should Have a Threesome
You are sure to be a threesome pro (even if you're a first timer)
You're considering having a threesome for the right reasons
Not as a quick fix for a dull sex life or bad relationship
So grab the nearest hottie, and bring him or her into your bedroom
As long as your partner is game - you're sure to have a good time
Be safe, considerate, and don't end up sleeping in the wet spot :-)

Now this is what i call better blog colours, they also happen to be the colours of Oxford United who sit proudly at the top of League Division 3 by 2 points, and we've only lost once this season in 23 league games.
COME ON YOU YELLOWS
 
Last infiltration of the year ;)
12.31.03 (5:03 am)   [edit]
Elloooeee Mark blog :D

Debs here :wink: Mark's a silly twit, he forgot to change his password and so prevent me from inane infiltrations (I have been very good and not infiltrated since M-Blog)!

I'm bored, if you hadn't guessed... I'm supposed to be stripping paint, but thought I'd come and rearrange Mark's colour scheme first, especially seeing as Mark is still battling with his conscience (see below) and is doing so infront of the TV, and definately not clearing his EBay stuff out of the Party Room aka Steptoe's Yard :roll:

I think 2004 should have a new set of rules for this blog, seeing as things have changed somewhat. For instance, I have given George Clooney the flick since he refused to let me have his babies, I ended up having to use his lookalike instead (Yes, if you squint Mark looks like Georgey boy). So, I wont post piccies of George! Due to my pending body expansion, Mark is now forbidden to put any piccies on here, of women with a smaller waist-line or belly than me, so Charlie Dimmock is definately OUT, I WILL however consider allowing piccies of Dawn French, Ann Widicombe, Roseanne Barr and Jo Brand!

Mark's choccy stash is safe...for now. I still have to munch my way through the 10 boxes of chocs I had for Crimbo. I promise not to litter his desk or pinch his chocs at a later date as long as he remembers to keep me supplied with Gherkins until August! :twisted:

That'll do for now mefinks :wink:

I will leave you with this *cranks up stereo*, arms in the air people and sway. Sing along with me....

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year" dobedooobedooo Abba, how groovy...and now for the finale

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne? And days of auld lang syne, my dear,

And days of auld lang syne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne?

We twa hae run aboot the braes

And pu'd the gowans fine.

We've wandered mony a weary foot,

Sin' auld lang syne.

Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,

Sin' auld lang syne,

We've wandered mony a weary foot,

Sin' auld ang syne.

We twa hae sported i' the burn,

From morning sun till dine,

But seas between us braid hae roared

Sin' auld lang syne.

Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,

Sin' auld lang syne.

But seas between us braid hae roared

Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,

And gie's a hand o' thine;

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!
