Men get longer paternity leave these days I think. As you say, it's just the 02 gig he's got to focus on and a few interview related bits.

This, its not as if they have some daily mundane job they have to clock in and out of. I bet they have more time out of work than in!! if Wire did a full time job he would be in the Sanatorium within a month!!

I think given that he obviously doesn't want it in the public arena, it is best not to speculate on here.

Hope people don't mind me bumping this to raise awareness. Was reminded of it after I saw someone say it should be shut down because it was weird.

Why would anyone think it was weird? It's for a good cause and a nice way of saying congrats without bombarding them. Hope it doesn't get shut down!

I think the original reason it was created was a tad weird (for which I take full responsibility, why did one of the mods not slap me down like an errant Labrador?) however Finn's elegant and marvellous solution isn't weird.

If someone says it's weird, they are probably referring to me. Why it took people a year to figure that out...
