I'm not really worried for Beastie McForbes/Spud/Chunk (name dependent on how I'm feeling at the time) because (a) physically, based on the scans,it seems to be perfectly tip-top (if BIG) (b) the scans have suggested it has the regulation 5 toes on each foot (c) I have a feeling it's a boy (d) either way, medical procedures are way better at dealing surgically with polydactylism than when I was a nipper, so my wee girl should have a life free from discomfort and full of high heels.
Na, what I want to know is: what can I get away with, now that I have a rare medical syndrome? I've already asked Natalie Wood, the school's head of Learning Support, to draft me a Statment of Need of the set of "behaviours" I can blame on the syndrome...

All of which makes me a bit frothy. Although one tiny glimmer of light might be that his being in this country on the back of (hopefully) a second season series and (hopefully) a possible about-time broadcast on British telly could mean that Mr F. could appear on a British chat show. Maybe on the Friday night. Maybe Jonathan Ross. Or even (hell, alright) Paul O' Grady or Justin Lee Collins. One can hope at least.
