A web site dedicated to Tom Harrington's family containing news, gossip and tales of the unexpected. Fun for all.
If everone adds a few lines of news and information - others will look at this site and it will spiral into a web log of the Harringtons!
It is so easy to add comments even I can do it.

When Microsoft introduced the new XP Operating system, they took a closer
look at the mouse.
Test results showed that many women are having trouble using today's
mouse.
For the female target group a new mouse has been developed, with the
most
important criteria being feel, comfort and ergonomics. After the
first prototype was created, male focus groups were polled to ensure that
nobody was being discriminated against.
The male groups did not show any concerns and even voiced that after
viewing a woman using the new mouse it seemed very natural and practical.
I think this will suit Siobhan and Annmarie most

I cannot believe it - I have managed to user anonymous web surfer at work to allow me access to blogger - I could only see the main page at work as they have software here to stop you looking at certain sites so their staff do not waste company time on the net. So I could not post to blog - hopefully this will give me access for a while!!
Phil - this is the site - use it - unclick all the ticks on the first page here

Bloggers Notice the new blogger without the add banner on the top! this is to make the page load faster and so cause Jack less frustration in waiting for the latest news to be displayed and not to mention saving a fortune for the client whose time he is charging his time to.
It cost me $50 to pay for this upgrade to blog with lots of additional features so you all owe me as this is a family project:
You can repay me by putting a blog entry on here or even better getting someone else to.
The big difference is that you will notice a new upload button on when you are editing your blogs - this is to allow you all to add pictures or any other documents to the blog. There is a link on the top of this page anytime you want to know how to do this. Or just click this link here
How to upload a picture
Go on have a go now - you cannot do anything wrong!

This is a true story that I have found out from Dads close friend -
It happened a few months ago when dad saw a tramp walking past the lodge as he was on his way out and he was accosted by this particularly dirty tramp
who asked him for a couple of pounds to buy something to eat.
Dad reached into his pocket and took out two pound coins. He started to give them to the tramp, then paused, "If I give you this money, will you
take it and buy cheap wine with it?"
"No, I stopped drinking two years ago!"
"Will you gamble with it?"
"I need all the money I can beg to stay alive! I gave up gambling eight years ago."
"Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?"
"Are you crazy? Do you think any course would let me near? I haven't played golf for ten years!"
"Will you spend the money at an internet cafe?"
"No way man? I was addicted to the chat rooms but now I don't go near the damn things"
Dad then announced, "I've decided not to give you two pounds. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a dinner cooked by my wife Nora!"
The tramp was astounded, "Won't Nora be furious with you for doing that? I'm dirty, and I smell bad."
Dad replied, "I promise you it won't be a problem! She has the heart of an angel and is always willing to help those who are down on their luck,
suffering illness, bereaved, with matrimonial problems, or in trouble with the law. Besides, ... I want her to see what a man looks like when he's given up beer, gambling, internet and golf!"

Michaels Toe Update
Hello family - I can see from the voting results that none of you are interested in any more tear jerking toe tales. I have only one vote and that was Me! What did I expect - you are all just like mum and all squeamish beyond belief. Well I showed Luke the blogger toe story and pictures on Sunday and he thought they were all dead "cool". So I am just young and hip for my age unlike all you old fogies who are past it and want to sit by the fire with your feet up and your tea at in one hand and your paper in the other. Anyway I took the main bandage off today as it was soaked in blood, pus and some other slimish green substance which some how emanated from my foot and festered in my socks and shoes for a week now. Emanated - now this word reminds me of MnM;s new film 8 Mile which I watched with Rizwana last weekend - it was surprisingly good - he is a very fast whited, quick thinking, talented bloke. Brian would like this film. Back to the toe - the main reason I took the bandage off was the smell. I did not like it and neither did Riz who kept spraying my foot with any aerosol spray she could lay her hands on. But it all got too much at work when all those around me where holding their noses and complaining of the dead cabbage stink. Once the toe was cleaned up it looked beautiful if a little purple - I will give you all a personal look when I see you - this will be next weekend for the local family and on Sat April the 12th for Siobhan and Tom as Rizwana and moi are flying over to Virginia for a week and back to UK on Monday 21st April. Bye for now, Michael

Michael's Grand day out at Dewsbury Hospital
I finally had the operation. My chronically infected toe nail was removed today at 3.45 pm. I knew some of you would be eager to know what they did to me so in the interests of educational voyeurism and also to satisfy Annmarie and Carin's lust for gore, I took some pictures as the nail was removed. I managed to take these under great pain, duress and stress so I expect all of you to have a look at them - especially Siobhan, Annmarie and Victoria. Click here
Mum was kind enough to take me and I managed to get her a seat next to me in the operation room but she did a runner when the Doctor took out the big needle before anything had even happened! Mummy Harrington you are a wimp.
The six inch needle was the worst part of my ordeal.
"You may feel some discomfort" he said.
This was a MAJOR understatement!
It was like a sharp sting starting on the outside and continuing slowly through the toe all the way to the other side. I focused on deep breathing and clenching my fists as I resisted the urge to scream. After a few long seconds the needle was withdrawn and I began to relax and calm myself. Then he told me he had to do the other side of the toe. However, I knew what to expect and boldly said (after spitting out the piece of wood) "go for it!".
This time I made him pose for a picture, he was slightly amused by masochistic tendencies which he put down to my strict Catholic upbringing.
The rest was plain sailing as the toe went numb and all his pulling, digging, scraping and cutting did not affect me in the slightest - although the pain is now hitting me as the anaesthetic wears off. But fear not Rizwana is on M1 as I type!
Let me know what you think of the pictures and how brave you think I am !
Love M

Hi ye all - Please have a look at the two new site links shown on the top RHS of this page. They are for us to use.
Also
Since when did my babysitting duties get arranged on the blog? I may be free - put it in the Calendar above.
Also
There was once an old Dad called Tom,
Who mistakenly swallowed a bomb,
The bomb passed right through
Destroying the loo
And he woke up to find he was a Mom!
