Well this double-parenting thing does take it out of you (and one of us more than the other, I have to admit). But anyway, everything else has to take a back seat, including photos.

But there’s some more of the kids taken this month up on the site now, linked from the one below (usual login required)

Now we have two of the things, we have slightly rearranged the structure of the photo albums on this site so as to manage the exponential growth in digital photography that will likely ensue in the coming months.

But don’t be alarmed, it’s very simple. Instead of linking directly to Miles, you now go to a top level album called Kids (login required and email us if you need one), within which you’ll find albums for each month including pictures of both kids.

Meanwhile all pictures of Miles up to and including May 2004 are also within the Kids folder, in an album called Miles archive, arranged monthly.

Historical revisionism is nothing new in English football; note the recent rebranding effort in the Football League whereby the third division is now called League One and the fourth is now League Two, with the second division (aka the first division) now called the Championship (of what, it’s not clear). Keep up.

But now Franchise FC, aka Wimbledon FC (not to be confused with AFC Wimbledon) has now been rebranded as Milton Keynes Dons, after the town to which all true football fans bid them good riddance, Wimbledon’s records have now been updated to reflect the new branding.

So the famous 1988 FA Cup Final win over Liverpool, where Dave Beasant became the only keeper – still – to save a penalty (he’s also still the only one to injure himself with a jar of mayonnaise) in a final is now recorded thus:

English FA Cup – Final

Milton Keynes Dons 1 (1) – 0 (0) Liverpool
Sanchez 37

Wembley
14-05-1988

Appalling nonsense.

The newly refurbished Craven Cottage – can’t wait to get back there!
