Yes, we had Kate and even Kelly around to help us, but Edwin was our kid and we did the bulk of the nappies and the feeding and the nightly walkabouts...when he couldn’t sleep because shards of enamel were tearing through his gums.

"Not quite what I remembered from two years ago," he said."The price of hops is through the roof. Government doesn't pay farm subsidies to farmers who grow 'sin' crops. It's less hassle and more profitable to grow other stuff. I know I sell this shit, but I wouldn't be surprised if they cured this beer with formaldehyde." What have you got that is.
