I am in foal :D Baby Griffin is due to put in an appearance during the Cheltenham festival :rolleyes: World Hurdle day to be precise. I'm hoping to cross my legs until after the Gold Cup :lol:
 
So first you create problems in work and then turn up with one in the oven!

Best of British to you both. Maybe it'll be triplets?
 
Congrats Cheryl, your wish come true. Hope everything goes well.

Ifyou need a commentary on the GC whilst Griffin Junior is being born ring me.
 
I'd say that's a pretty big announcement!!! :o :o

Many congratulations to you and Mr. Griffin B)
 
You'll have to name the new arrival after a Cheltenham winner now. How does Moscow sound? :lol: Congrats!

DG has already suggested Baracouda but I pointed out that was a damn silly name for a girl :lol:
 
Congrats Griffin!

My colt was due to be induced by my gynae, who did these on Sundays (God knows why - probably because my gynae was an atheist??) as I had high blood pressure. This meant he wanted me at the hospital Saturday lunchtime.

Big problem - this was April 9th and Grand National day!!

So a deal was struck as he was a real hunting man and I was told to get into the Radcliffe asap after the race had finished. As he had also watched the race, we at least had something to chat about while I was in labour.... B)
 
My wife's waters broke with six to jump in the 1975 Gold Cup. I informed her that she and Gillian would have to wait until they'd finished before we could set off for hospital. Ten Up won the race so I couldn't call a little girl that could I? Especially as I only have nine! Good luck.
 
I think crossing your legs has come a little too late, Griffin! You must try harder to work round the racing calendar, girl! Best wishes to you and Mr Griffin, that's very happy news - let us know when/if you find out if it's a colt or a filly in due course, won't you? :)

He might be grumpy but he's bloody gorgeous and a proven sire of beautiful fillies :lol:

Will you stop producing when you find out what's causing it?

Can you take paid maternity leave while under suspension?

Mr Grumpy Griffin has promised to be gelded :lol: I'm a broody mare and would carry on producing for years if spoilsport would let me.

And I'm not suspended, I got a written warning in the post this morning :P I shall however be screwing as much maternity pay and leave out of them as possible before leaving :D
 
Make sure you screw as much maternity leave and pay out of them as possible.They sound like a miserable shower.

Knowing DIVER, I bet he stopped at the betting office on the way to the hospital to watch The Foxhunters' Chase!

Griffin. I thought you already had 3 ankle biters. Haven't you got a TV in your house?
 
Many congratulations, Griffin & unborn foal! So, you managed to persuade 'im indoors to come around to your point of view then??!! Well done m'dear, that's great news. I bet the girls are excited too!
 
My son was born on Champion Hurdle day, causing me to have a rare absence from the Festival. I considered the name "Comedy" but somehow it didn't sound quite right.

So, he is older than Diver's daughter by two days.

:D I'm expecting to hear all of those comments over the next few months. Yes we have three girls already. I'd have more I think, but Mr Grumpy Griffins nerves couldn't cope with many more. He's already convinced that me or baby Griffin will die in childbirth :what: Emily had managed to get a knot in her umbilical cord, and if she'd tightened it any more she wouldn't be here now. Things like that scare him. He's also the sensible one who is already worried about how much this one will cost us :lol:
