Thank you — yes I lurch from abandon to control, like many parents I know. I’m looking forward to the Knausgård. The LRB called it “amazing", which is a very unhinged word for them to be using.

The Electronic reference up there had me grinning like a monkey… what i seem to like the most is the dad parts mixed in with the debauched non-dad parts cuz there is a part of our lives that are nonfuckingdad, and that may (or may not) be debauched, good shit sir very good, i’ve read the Karl Ove bloke as well, it holds my attention, much like this post…

They’re great – they’re fun to be with. I always knew I’d enjoy their company if I could only stick it out till they were teenagers.

Drinking – no idea where I get my tolerance from. No-one in my family drinks – apart from my sister, who’ll suggest sharing a bottle of wine between three people. It’s great, I love it. It’s such a rewarding activity.

I like the sound of your daughters, they sound feisty and good fun. I’ve read about the book she recommended and it’s spurred me on, I think I shall read it too.

( the more I read aboout your drinking I have to conclude that you have an iron constitution )

It’s so awkward that. Then there’s the “mates rates” thing to get round. I do hope your friend will be able to divorce the invoice from the affective side of things.

But, eh. Frosty Jack.

Maybe it’s that you know that borrowing off someone really solvent will never (need to) be reciprocated, so it has a more paternalistic feel to it.

I recently invoiced someone who’s basically a friend, including something that they think they didn’t actually ask for. Right now I’m worrying that, even if I get the money, that’s sort of it for our friendship. Sometimes I think the necessariness of the pursuit of money literally dehumanizes us.

But, eh. Merlot.

Hello Hannah – Me and my light-fingered friend have always paid each other back because, I think, we’re in the same position. I’d be far less likely to ask someone who could easily afford it to lend it to me, which doesn’t make sense in one way.

Jonathan, it is a pleasure to have you furtling about in my box again and I’m sorry that the gates have been so difficult to prise open.

Yes, I have to say, Manchester Piccadilly’s bar is not a becoming place in which travellers of decorum might seek their repose, let alone have a postmark pint.

My friend will probably make a few lines in the local paper. I don’t agree with Courtwatch. It’s Victorian – grubby, salacious, holier-than-thou (and quite tempting to read to see if anyone you know’s in it).
