Bumped into hobbitdave while waiting for the bus with ias and the garklet after work today. Cue the following conversation after Dave left:

garklet

Why that hobbitdave?

nmg

Well, that's his name.

garklet

Where is hobbitdave going?

nmg

He's on his way home to see gnommi.

garklet

Why?

nmg

Because he's gnommi's boyfriend!

garklet

Why he gnommi's boyfriend?

nmg

Because they like each other a lot. That's why they live together.

garklet

*nods sagely*

garklet

I think they need a boy.

nmg

Pardon?

garklet

I think they need a boy.

nmg

What kind of boy? A little boy, like you?

garklet

Yes. They need a little boy like me.

And you wonder why I adore your son ?

Cute! Clearly, everyone's life is incomplete without a garklet!

There's a separate post that I need to make about some heteronormative and uh, anti-feminist attitudes that he's expressed in the past few months. Damned if I know where he's picking these things up, because it isn't from us!

Books, like the thing about diesel trains being interesting and unusual because all trains in kids books are steam trains?

It's either that, or he's sneaking out and buying the Daily Mail when we're not watching.

I've always wondered who on earth thought building diesels rather that just going steam=>electric was a good idea.

[A bit unfair, given the state of steam in the 50s, but...]

If we hadn't gone via diesel, we never would have had the Class 55 (Deltic)...

I wouldn't climb over a 9F to get to one.
