Bob's my Dad's name as well.

Um, I'd rather fall off the edge of the world than watch football, but shush and don't tell anyone, okay?

My eldest suggests Cyclops, and failing that then Bob (I'm not even going to try to figure 'Bob' out).

Hi Carole Having recently tied myself up in knots worrying about my daughters (neither of which have been diagnosed with KC so I really was getting ahead of myself) I'm perhaps not the best one to talk but I've found the only certain thing about KC is that nothing is certain.
