Would be very funny if not so close to the truth.

Was going to buy Fiddle a crate of champagne (for the benefit of the newbies, he doesn't have an alibi for 1968 so he must therefore be my dad). He hasn't showed up for a while, so I'll be drinking it myself then

So far feck all. And some grief from missus, who has fecked off to help out the local fete. Daughter in bed sick.

Rubbish.

And so this is life for the modern man. We get to help out with the previously female only tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing, feeding the kids etc but then soon as the lawn needs mowing or one of the gadgets breaks or the car needs servicing or washing, it's a "man's job" and her indoors is suddenly incapable of keeping up.

Same goes for Fathers Day. On Mothers Day the women all expect a "day off" starting with breakfast in bed, with flowers and handmade cards from the kids.

On Father's day we get to cook the family breakfast and lunch and then do the dishes, empty the bins, drag the old broken washing machine to the curb then order a new one online, vacuum the mess the kids made during lunch and only now get to post to CUK. Or is that only my experience today?

Another day in paradise.

I got a pair of black socks in the bottom of a pint glass, topped off with a white handkerchief to create the effect of an inexpertly pulled pint of Guinness. I've not decided yet whether this is a great piece of imaginative artwork, or a massive cop out referencing the only two safe dad interests applicable to all men (wearing socks and getting pissed up).

Maybe both, I quite like the ingenuity.
