			Sarah-Jane and I are proud parents of Maximilian John Alexander Holden, who was born at 2.04am on Weds 3rd February 2010. Max weighed 8lb 2.5oz and mother and baby are doing very well indeed; they were able to come home from hospital later the same day.
Countdown content? Well his date of birth is 3-2-1-0

			Congratulations to you and Sarah-Jane, Stewart!  
Max is lovely. It's making me all broody for grandchildren. Don't tell my kids!

Don't hold your breath.
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

There's a much more sinister interpretation when you consider.... actually, I'll leave it there.
