Be aware of the dangers of the “Shuffle” !

By Floydsdad Posted in Trying to be a Modern Dad ! , , , , , , , | 4 Comments »

I am not a DJ, nor am I a personal trainer, and so my earlier brainstorm of combining exercise and music might have been seen by some as a bit of a risk.  I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have stocked up on the ‘toons’, or whatever it is the kids call them [...]

I used to like ‘Tomorrow’s World’…..

By Floydsdad Posted in Trying to be a Modern Dad ! , , , , | No Comments »

…… But then again, I used to like sweetcorn, and now I can’t stand the stuff, it makes me feel sick. And so, it would appear, my love of technology and innovation has slipped down that same slippery slope. I seem to remember…. ( hang on, does that mean I am not actually sure I remember, in which case, I [...]

Introudcing ‘I-Dad’

By Floydsdad Posted in Trying to be a Modern Dad ! , , , | No Comments »

Actually that is a bit of a misleading title. If you checked out the earlier ‘techno-post’, live from Costa Coffee, you will know that the concept of ‘I-Dad’ has already been introduced. A more blatant use of poetic license came in the same post, when I referred to myself, ‘communicating with the masses’ !  The idea of [...]

The I-Dad has landed

By Floydsdad Posted in Uncategorized , , | No Comments »

Well how about this ! As I communicate with the masses I am in fact sitting in Costa Coffee, (apologies Mr.Nero sir, but until you bite the bullet and dip your toe into the untapped market that is Oldham on a cold wet Sunday, it’s all we’ve got). Now that fact alone means I won’t [...]

Education Education Education !

Well, a week has passed now since the last time I tapped these keys with that glib feeling inside which comes from thinking three sentences ahead of the bits you are writing about.  Back then this was a daily blog of abnormal family life, there was so much material floating around my head, that I [...]

Technical foray #1

By Floydsdad Posted in Trying to be a Modern Dad ! , | No Comments »

Just a short entry here to see whether or not my Dadbrain has interpreted the instructions on linking Twitter.  Time will tell, although more pressing matters are taking place Chez Floyd at the moment. Not only is the situation in Libya escalating, threatening the whole status quo in the region, but Denise has just been [...]

Seeing Red ….

Firstly an update… The predicted debate on the rights and wrongs of whether U.K. schools should embrace the phenomenon of ‘Prom’ nights took place chez Floyd last night.I will take a few minutes to summarise the two viewpoints. On my side of the fence, I delivered a robust defence of the need to avoid allowing [...]

Definately a work in progress !!

By Floydsdad Posted in Trying to be a Modern Dad ! , , , | No Comments »

Don’t expect any fancy photos, quirky graphics, polls, links or anything actually. In fact, expect a very slow, methodical and at times tedious journey as a 40 year old husband, father of 2, (well 3 if you count the adolescent spaniel !), begins his stumble into the world of blogging. Expect tales of being subjected to ridicule from [...]
