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.

Hi family
Great news Siobhan and good news about Sean today . Mum and Dad must be doing a lot of praying for us!
you had better not eat Tom's easter egg!
I am on holiday now – spending time at 4 Bath road babysitting while
Rizwana and Carin decorate the laundry room (or Erins bedroom as it is also known). As Culi is fast asleep and Erin is playing next door in the swimming pool I am having a blog!
This afternoon we are off to the new caravan in Grassington to sort it out with Mum and Dad so Martix reloaded will have to wait!
I will have to email Fank to register our disgust at his lack of blogging

In Margate on the weekend Jo told me this joke and asked me to put it on blogger for him so if you have any questions – ask him not me!
A blind man enters a ladies bar by mistake. He finds his way to a barstool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"
The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the bartender leans over and next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is just fair- giving that you are blind-that you should know five things:
1. I am a blonde girl.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. The manager is a 6 foot tall, 220 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting on your right is called Carin Harrington, she is a Doctor and surgeon who is an expert with a scalpel - and she is also a blonde!
5. The lady to your left is called Victoria Harrington, she is also a blonde and who can kill with one look and turn you inside out with one shout.
Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke? The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares,
"Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Siobhan,
Thanx for your vote, you'll still have to cast the vote from your PC for me (I haven't worked out how to hack the blogger voting database yet).
Curry - no problem, but I'm sure you'd prefer an authentic curry from my Mum (me being a plastic Paki). Will I send it via Tom & Barbara or Fed Ex? Alternatively, I'll arrange another apna style banquet as you and Phil missed out last time.
Phil,
Thank you for your vote but unless voting by proxy is permitted, it's no use.
Why not try one of the anonymous sites Michael goes on about? They work for me in the office at hospital. Or do you think it's worth pursuing Carin for her vote in exchange for babysitting (the boys are coming to Margate this weekend, Erin would be most welcome to even out the odds – 2 girls to 4 boys).
Abid is well except he split with Georgina. He's working away on his Ph.D. but intends to head back to Beijing by July.
Michael - your future is put on the line by a curry everytime you eat at that waste of space of a place in Bradford ("The Kashmir")!!!
posted by Anonymous on 5/22/2003 04:22:00 PM
So it seems I am now putting my future on the line all for the taste of a quality curry!!
Very funny comments Jack - such wit and insight - but strange how the votes are tied and none yet for Virginia - A case of 1 root beer to far!
Phil stop working and try this - www.megaproxy.com I want to know if you can get to this site, If so then paste in tomharrington.blogspot.com and see if is comes up. But this still blocks the voting panel . But let me know or I will come over and try it myself!
Tom - off to see Matrix reloaded next week - what did you think? Marks out of 10 and no storyline please!

Does anyone want to sell me their vote? (I think Michael would be better off in Margate, I need help persuading him).
Name your price!!!!

Phil and Carin the camera that would be of use to you is 2nd hand from a lad at work - £150 for camera, dockingstation, memory flash card and software - seems a good deal but you cannot do the small movies on this - just digital pictures

Very interesting Tom - I you are the man you are today because of us Harrington's

Tom MacMan and ye all
Never mind the bollox here's Finchly of Liversedge
Have you over there been told the Real Jessica Lynch story?
Her Iraqi guards had long fled, she was being well cared for - and doctors had already tried to free her. Michael Harrington discovers the real story behind a modern American war myth Dont believe what you read
I know how much it mean to the US that she was rescued but how this happened is another example of the power of the government to control the media. And the frustrating attempt of the Iraqi doctor to get her out 2 days earlier only to be shot at by an American check point. Will this and the lack of any soldiers guarding her make it into the final cut of the film? I think Not.
I am glad your Dad like the tortoise like speeding ticket story - I will give him and Ma the full details when they are over here including and an in-depth explanation of the faults and potential dangers of your cars cruise control. My reporting of Carins anecdotes was well received by everyone accept Carin but she is getting over it and my next ambition is to get Daddy to see it and have a laugh at it! Carin - I know him well enough now to judge this one! You are off to see this chap next week with us - Mark Thomas He has a lot more enlightening stories for us - which I know you will like. Especially the one about the trouble he got into when he put a bounty on George Bushes JR's head!
More for those with a belly for laughs.
Mark and here are some Reviews

Camera for Sale
Does anyone want a decent digital camera - very similar to mine - I know of 2 that are for sale - £180 worth twice this new. Carin - you could have one to use in China?
thats all for now

Well Dad had gone back to his old dictatorial ways and censored my last blog. If any of you want to know the contents and can keep a secret then you can email me for a copy and I wll send it if I am given permission!
I seem to have used up a lot of my brownie points with Carin but she has informed me I am still well in credit!.
So here are some more pictures for you Siobhan to celebrate your birthday - I hope you have a great day – lots of love , Michael

This is a classic which you will only hear about on the blog. I have just come back from a nice visit to Carins to welcome her out of quarantine and let her do some shopping while I played with the kids and sorted my room out.
She has load of great stories from her adventures and experiences of Beijing hospital and zoo and I have said she should post a few of them as they are amazing but she has not yet. I hope you all agree this was too good to keep to myself.

Annmaire - what did you think of the poem? It was written by Roger Woddis and published in an issue of NEW STATESMAN, a left wing publication our Brian used to buy in 1990, when dad was still providing for him.
when can I come for dinner ? As soon as I get an invite I will be over to see you and your new TV.
Unless Carin beats you to it! Who will win!
Come on get blogging and invite me!

Panamania.
A poem for Tom and Siobhan!
|
|
I have a dream
That one day an American president
Will rise up and say to the world,
We hold certain lies to be self-evident,
That when we invade small countries
For the alleged purpose of saving democracy,
No one would take us seriously,
Apart, of course, from a British prime minister.
I have a dream
That a leader in the White House,
Who backs the world's biggest butchers
From China and Cambodia to the Americas,
To defend the buck he holds most dear,
Will talk of life and liberty under God
With hand on heart,
And will keep a straight face.
Well, we can all dream...

Shiv - you have forgot my advice on adding links - see my posting "posted by Michael Harrington on 4/24/2003 10:51:56 PM"
If you do not add the link so people can just click on it then they will not got to the page - they are not techie like us!!! So add your great baby site using the link option that blogger supplies and people will be able to see it. Its well worth it!!
posted by Michael on 5/05/2003 07:48:00 PM
Yes Shiv you can send these to anyone - not the blogger page but the link the main album index page - practise sending this to yourself if you are not sure.
Phil - there are 3 small movies for you to try and download if you can. Erin and Culi and the wife are saying hello from the bath road kitchen. There is not much too see as your young uns when very shy in front of the camera! Click the movies link on the top right hand side of this blog page - the new ones have been added.
