I went to a house

Friends are nice to have. Friends with babies confuse me. The more time I spend with children, the less I understand why people want them. I mean, they're funny -- when they play peek-a-boo, for example -- but I can't deal with them for any more than a couple of hours. And they're always snotty and coughing and sneezing and spreading germs everywhere.

Gaffe of the day?

I know George W Bush hasn't woken up yet, but could it be that criminologist Professor David Wilson has already made the best gaffe of the day?

Talking on Sky News this morning about a new DVD cartoon, Matters2Me, aimed at children and warning them of the dangers of paedophiles, Prof Wilson said that talking down alone does not work; what we also need is a "bottom-up" approach.

Oops.
