A first for me too

Grandson delivered early hours today. Mum and baby all ok I'm told. Still to be named, unfortunately Jarno is not an option...

Congratulations Keith

I guess you could go for the subtle approach and try for a long name such as the royals tend to favour.

How about: James Arthur Richard Neil Oliver ..... the initials should work well for you :smt002

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Nice one, Keith. Great shame that Jarno wasn't an option - one of my all-time favourites.

Forgive my ignorance, why not Jarno ? Though I guess it's only fair the mother and father get first dibs :smt003

Thanks all. My daughter will today receive flowers accompanied by a Teddy bear named Jarno. I doubt she'll take the hint. :smt002

As a recent arrival at the parenting club can I recommend a drum kit?

Congrats
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
