To answer your questions:
Yes, eldest son in now in year 3 at Leeds Uni medical school.
No, he is no longer a Goth (although he may revert on 31st October). He finally took heed that he was harming his career prospects dressing like a total d*head.
He is home for 2 days - I think he ran out of clean clothes. He has taken to wearing a kilt & looks ridiculous but his friend has let slip it is a temporary fashion aberration as he has had a piercing in a sensitive area.I found an article he'd cut out about someone dangling a calor gas cylinder from a genital piercing. What is he thinking of????
I have no idea how he is doing as he tends to grunt rather than converse with me, and he hasn't sufaced from his bed yet.
He is still an idiot.
Mrs O he sounds a wonderful individualist who by the time he is 40 will probably wear a suit to work and drive a volvo....you've obviously done a great job....
rowan, thanks for your comments.
I don't know if you have been on here long enough to have read about some of the stunts he has pulled over the years, but others will affirm I should be as grey as one of John Major's suits by now.
BTW I love him to bits & am dead proud of him - all 6'5" of him!
I was referring to the tendency for young rebels to become conservative with a small c although judging by the consultants car park here...Jaguar is making a huge comeback along with maserati...and aston martin....
