To keep you going

The Big Contest continues apace. Ubul is due in August, so there's plenty of time to add more suggestions to the pile. At the moment Mrs M and I are busy avoiding the topic, as any conversation that starts "What about the name..." tends to end in the other party laughing. Funnily enough so far there has been at least one suggestion that perfectly matches Mrs M's shortlist. None have mentioned Simon Junior for a boy, so there have been no matches with my list.

The Big Vote is telling me we're having a girl and it'll be early. Due date is about August 17th (which is PB's birthday). So far form tells us that a girl is a good bet, given JC and PB are both, well, girls. However both of them were a week late.

End result: it's not too late to vote or suggest names. If you've already done it, do it again. And if you've done it again and you're stuck for blog topics, why not advertise the contest on your site. It's an easy post. I'll even write it for you in the extended entry. That's the kind of service we offer here.

There's a great site I read every day, called Simon World. If more people read this site, there'd be world peace and an end to poverty. Simon's an interesting (and somewhat modest) guy. His wife, Mrs M, is pregnant with his third child. And he's running a contest to choose the baby's name as a way of ducking the parental hassle duty of coming up with baby names. I think he mentioned something about winning a car if you get the winning entry. Note I said I think. While you're there, he also is running a vote on the sex and timing of the birth. And you should sign his Guest Map too - you'll be in good company.

Lastly you should also read Simon World daily. It will make you a better person, more attractive to the opposite (or same if that's your thing) sex, smarter and has been known to increase height and improve senses of humour. Really.
