      It's a BOY!

Brad Palmer writes:
/Thomas Bruce Palmer managed to find his way out of the baby oven a 
little before 2pm last Friday.  It's probably no surprise but he's quite 
tall for his age (go figure?). For those that wanted to know, stats are 
as follows:
Weight: 3.66kg (that's 8.1 pounds for those of you living in the 40 year 
old imperial system)
Length: 53cm (21 inches)
Duration of labour: 6 intense hours
Hair colour: Black
Favourite food: Milk
Career ambition: Professional cyclist earning millions to support his 
parents
Mum is doing really well and Dad is as proud as punch(I know he's mine, 
he didn't stop feeding the first 40mins!).
So there you go.  God help the world, Chris and Brad are parents!!!/
