He's been in demand again!



Last time I think it was a supermarket; this time I'm not too sure, but I think it's a high rise student accommodation block. I do know it's NOT a new Virus Hospital.

You really can't hold the lad down. Yes, Kimbo returns to his duties as 'ribbon cutter extraordinaire'. There were swathes of admiring crowds and photographers, as well as a red carpet. Prince Charles was obviously too busy.

Personally I've never been asked to open a tin of beans, let alone a building; but Kimbo seems to be in regular demand.

OK, I'm banging his drum, and I'm sure you're going to berate me about 'pride coming before a fall', but I AM very proud of all three of my children, whether they cut ribbons or not. And I'm not afraid to say so!

Just in case Tesco, Leclerc, or Waitrose are unaware; I AM AVAILABLE.

And before you moan about 'social distancing'; I'm assured that this took place about 6 weeks ago.... he just didn't tell me.

  2. As long as his talents stretch further than cutting a ribbon you are fully justified to be proud.

  3. You might not be invited to open a new building but you can open a tin of baked beans or more likely - yet another bottle of French wine! What position does your son hold to be the kind of person who cuts ribbons?

    1. He's my son and heir; what better qualification. Yes, I think I'll have to stick with bottle opening.

    2. Oh now I understand why he gets all those invitations. I bet the plaques read "Opened by Lord Cro Magnon's grateful son - April 1st 2020". (Depending on the year)

  4. "OK, I'm banging his drum..."
    Shurley it is every parents right... and perhaps, duty, to bang the drum and unfurl the banners for their offsprung!!?

    1. In the UK it's still regarded as infra dig to sing the praises of one's own offspring. I did so at my peril.

  11. Nothing wrong with pride in someone. Pride in oneself is a little dangerous.
