    It doesnt have to be a particular man, just a man. I'll check my diary but I belive I may be in Outer Mongolia that week

      Ha ha well in that case I will just grab one on the way to the hospital! But seriously, I intend to deal with labour in a refined and serene manner.
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          Fluff yes, and a pint of lager by my side, ready for those first few minutes afterwards!

            Thank you, am frankly petrified now. Not helped by a staggering amount of people (some I've previously never spoken to before) feeling it necessary to tell me horrific details surrounding labour/birth/children, and expecting me to thank them for it.
            Well to put those tales into some kind of contrast, all 3 of my sons were born healthy, reasonable weights (even the last who was over a week late) and my now ex wife didn't need a stitch or any medical intervention beyond being attended by a Midwife.

            It's not all horror stories

              Put in this context £250 a day is paltry.

                Do you have much to do with Vetco Gray then? I was doing an outsourced support role for them, nice bunch, shame about the outsourcing firm I had the displeasure to work for though.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  Not yet... Oil & gas is a whole other nutshell.
