Harry’s Place

Mazal tov, David.

Congratulations!

Well done! (and my best regards to your lovely wife who did all the hard work.)

Congrats!

Congratulations and jubilations.

Congratulations, Mrs and Mr T!

Many congratulations.

Would’ve thought you’d call her ‘Morrissey’

Congrats!

Far from me to say that the first two elements in her name are more reminiscent of the Cure than the Smiths..

May spawned a monster!

Some girls are bigger than others…

Congratulations!

congratulations, well done to your wife.

Congrats, nice name too.

“Eight pounds, twelve ounces”

That’s one hell of a Magpie.

Bit on the heavy side? Poor wifey…

Congrats to you and your (no doubt, obviously) better half.

Wonderful news!

Your cigar is in the mail.

Congratulations.
Look forward to the 4am Blog updates.

This morning, I looked out of our window and saw three magpies on the lawn.
And so, at 9.40 am, my wife gave birth to a baby girl.

Is that a quick labour,or had you left her in the hospital by herself?

C section. Much easier.

Congrats! It always tickles me that babies haven’t been metricated. Little sis had a boy, Jake just before the election, at 8 2 he was visibly the biggest on the ward.

Obviously elective and first or second on the list on a friday.
Must be a neo con zionist influence thing

Same thin g nhappened to me some years ago!

Mazeltov!

Mazal tov. Many congratulations David.

Congratulations David!

It always tickles me that babies haven’t been metricated

They are by heathcare professionals so that the correct dose of drugs can be given. In fact, given the potential for medication errors that converting between imperial and metric systems brings, it would be entirely sensible for the whole population to start thinking of there weight in Kilograms etc. Although I’m sure UKIP would have something to say about that.

“their weight”

Grrr.

Perhaps you should order this David:

I wish the child well. Let’s just be thankful that politics are not genetically determined.

I may well do so!

Great news, mazaltov! (Speaking as a 3X C section)

Llongyfarchiadau, Dai T!

Are you going to call her Harriet?

Mazal tov!

Congratulations!

Mazel tov, David.

Congratulations, David.

Mazel Tov, Dovid! But tell me, I see Shelomi inspired you to change the photograph of old bleary eyes to one of Tony Blair giving himself the liberty to tell a British soldier what he doesn’t want to hear. What would that be, I wonder, that he’s being sent off to commit genocide and will return home with Depleted Uranium poisoning?

Don’t let fatherhood make you soft between the ears, Dovid.

Congratulations and Mazeltov.

The planet gets ever more overloaded with humans and it’s all the fault of the Zionist Neocons. ;-)

rachel.
Please look up the word genocide.
and idiot.

Congratulations!

Eight pounds, twelve ounces
Grand size for a baby
Small turkey though

I see Shelomi inspired you to change the photograph of old bleary eyes to one of Tony Blair giving himself the liberty to tell a British soldier what he doesn’t want to hear.

Blair is clearly the one listening.

‘What would that be, I wonder, that he’s being sent off to commit genocide and will return home with Depleted Uranium poisoning?’

Dos i chwarae efo dy nain, sguthain.

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh cariad. Llongyfarchiadau

I hope you first cleared the breakfast table.

Top work, David T.

You’d better start saving for the Barbie scooter and Polly Pocket accessories. They don’t come cheap!!!

Congratulations David. May Charlotte bring you and your wife many years of happiness. Do you think your daughter will become a doctor?

Do you think your daughter will become a doctor?

Never mind that - and I see that the same thing happened to (at least) one of the commenters above:

Do you think your daughter will become a blogger>

Congratulations David. Welcome to a decade, at least, of Pink

Blair is clearly the one listening.

But Dirigible, if Blair is the one listening i.e. hearing somethng he doesn’t want to hear, how come he’s wearing that shit-eating smile?

Because he’s Tony Blair, Rachel: Did you learn nothing in the last 11 years?

New baby in the Toube house, ducklings in Clissold Park, and the newly-launched ‘Bowie Barbecue’ at the Auld Shilealagh: it’s great up North (east) London.

congrats. i wish your wife a speedy recovery.

Congratulations and a lovely choice of name!

Congratulations David. Good size for a baby too - makes ‘em smarter and healthier.

Congratulations to you and your wife.
(Is that three now?)

Congrats, Dave!

On a sad tangent, has anyone else seen this?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/wiltshire/7174877.stm

The worst thing is, I imagine the scum who earn large sums of money to think up ways of sending people like Arnel home sleep soundly like babies at night without a care in the world.

P.

Eight pounds, twelve ounces

You mean 3.969kgs, you Europhobe!

Nice work the pair of you. And Charlotte.

” A baby is God’s opinion that the world should on.” ~ Sandburg.

congratulations! do not forget to point out to your wife that you did the all the hard work nine months ago, all the rest is just a holding operation lol

Mazel Tov David!

Gentile Mazel Tov, David and Mrs T. And may she have the might of Goldman, Kaplan and Luxembourg. Welcome comrade Charlotte

Congratulations, Mrs. David Taube! This is incredible, you’ve produced a miracle!

Oh, David, you didn’t do too badly either.

(Eight lb 12 oz? Two ounces heavier than I was, but eight lighter than one of my sisters.)

Welcome to our world, Charlotte. On the day you were born, your dad saw three magpies, and purple lilacs and deep blue ceanothus waved their branches in the wind. It was warm like a new summer day and people across the world looked up and smiled just three hours after you came into our world and they saw that you’d arrived. I was sitting in a car just outside a tunnel under the Thames four hours after that when I caught up with the news. And I thought about you and thought about the other magpies, the ones for letters, and sorrows and joy, for secrets never to be told. And I thought about how every day will bring you something new and beautiful, like the sight of new ducks, and someone will tell you about to market, to market to buy a fine pig, and one step, two step, tickly under there. And then before you know it, there’ll be Funnybones and one potato, two potato. And then there’ll be ma’oz tsur and felafel and a brother who can count to a hundred. And before you know it, arise ye starvelings and through bushes and through briars and maybe even free beer for all the workers when the red revolution comes. You won’t forget to tell your mum and dad what they don’t want to hear, because you are a very lucky girl to be born into freedom in London on this lovely day.

Thank you very very much, all of you.

And thank you Judy for such a wonderful message.

Many congratulations to your wife and you. I hope the little one is doing well.

I also hope you manage to cat nap at work for a few months.

Mazeltov to you and your family. You are about to discover that you are now much older than when you last became a father!

Welcome to a decade, at least, of Pink

In so many shades…

The Blair photo looks like it comes from former Yugoslavia, maybe Kosovo (which he visited after the war). The soldier looks like he’s just been clearing a minefield (as shown by the face visor which is just about visible at the front of his helmet).

Who knows, maybe Tone’s ’shit-eating smile’ is him listening to a squaddie talking about the painstaking task of clearing and deactivating anti-personnel mines laid by the Serbs, so that they didn’t end up maiming Kosovar civilians? Conjecture, I know, but it’s within the realms of possibility.

The photo does serve as a useful reminder, though, as it’s worth remembering that stoppers were quite happy to watch ethnic cleansing and genocide happen against Moslems in the Balkans, as long as the perpetrator was an ‘anti-imperialist’. In fact, they’re quite happy to support any genocidaire (Saddam against the Kurds, the Taliban against the Hazara), so long as said butcher is anti-Western.

‘Rachel’ just shows how morally bankrupt these fuckers are. So to translate my earlier remarks into English, go fuck yourself, bitch.

Rachel is one of the Atzmonites

Oh, and Anon: I have no doubt that she will join the SWP, pour epater son pere.

No place for politics, I feel. We can all be joined in the celebration of life.

Congratulations to you and your wife, David.

(Though it’s telling that the phrase ‘celebration of life’ induces nausea in me. A cynicismectomy is needed, I feel.)

Congratulations, David. A new taxpayer is born! :D

Congratulations, David, & wife, who did the hard work;
Charlotte, welcome to this world. You share the same birthday, May 9th as my nephew, Alex who turned 13 today and is now officially an adolescent. (Good luck to my brother and sister-in-law, they will need it.)
God Bless all three of you, David, wife and Charlotte and may you have many long years of life and love together ahead of you.

Sackcloth and Aishes: I wish you would not be so subtle in telling Rachel what you really think of her! (Joke)

C-section, eh? Too posh to push?

What a happy moment.

And what a beautiful name.

I hope she has the fortune to take her first steps into the adult world in the same social environment as I did in the mid-nineties.

Congratulations! May you, your wife and daughter have much health and happiness.

Best,

Inna

Very Many congratulations to you and your wife, David, and all the best in the future for Charlotte and the rest of your family

Mazel tov to you and your wife David.
The happiest of news.

Mazal tov, David! May you enjoy and cherish every single moment of young-fatherhood, inclusive of the occasional sleepless nights. (Mind you, it becomes more sleepless once they hit teenagehood:-) )

The best thing to come out of labour recently!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Also, fascinating to see the number of people posting in this thread.

Mazeltov David.

Many congratulations David
