Helen's Baby Sweepstake

[Stickerrocks]

Following on from a comment by DadDadDad on the spoilers thread, any predictions for the birth?

D3 has already picked 6 May.

I'm going for 13 May, 6lb 2 oz, Jonathan.

[AugustaFinkNottle]

Oh, a good way. I can now view (and polish) his arse quite happily.

[GypsyFl0ss]

I can multitask

[DadDadDad]

Gypsy - I thought you'd be too busy polishing your crystal balls.

[GypsyFl0ss]

But have they changed in a good or bad way Augusta ?

And just how much polishing have you been doing? I don't want to be setting myself up for hours of giving Justin good rub if I take him on.

[AugustaFinkNottle]

I trust TA fans implicitly.

My views about polishing Justin have changed as he's had a total character transplant since hooking up with Lil.

[Wordsaremything]

I said John known as Jack too, on 19/4 but got middle names wrong.
I demand a runner up medal too!

[DadDadDad]

Ooh, your NC secret is safe with me (and fifty thousand other 'netters).

I hope you've been polishing Justin regularly

[AugustaFinkNottle]

" I'm not even sure if Icimoi comes on here anymore"

(whispers) Hi!

[DadDadDad]

Fair enough, I'm not even sure if Icimoi comes on here anymore, so we might have trouble reclaiming the statue. We will probably see her on Antiques Roadshow with it and find it's worth something...

[GypsyFl0ss]

Hmmmm, a nude statue of Justin you say? I think I might just have to pass on that thanks all the same! Over on the other thread there were loads of predications for John / Jack...I'm sure Mystic Bore will take it off my hands

[elpth]

Yes just runners up prize for me and maisie no nude statue of Justin here thank you

[DadDadDad]

For those wondering about my sanity:

Actually, I'm not sure this is necessarily making me look any saner.

[DadDadDad]

Well, I thought it was runner-up medals for maisie and elpth, then the main prize to go to Gypsy could be that sculpture of a nude Justin that someone won a few years back on another TA thread.

[Vango]

Jack? (As he will be known!) 😳

[elpth]

Thanks D^3

[DadDadDad]

My humblest apologies, elpth, I was too hasty. Fortunately, the runner-up medal hasn't quite left for the engravers, so I can get that fixed.

[elpth]

No D^3 I was the first to mention Anthony! On 18/4/16 at 20.55.
lljkk said Anthony Thomas on 23/4/16

[DadDadDad]

Yes, that's a remarkable guess by Gypsy (with that username I picture you sitting in your little tent staring into a crystal ball, unless you are in fact sitting in a studio in the BBC and have insider knowledge ).

I think special mention to maisie123 as the first to suggest John rather than Jonathan. lljkk was first to suggest Anthony.

[Stickerrocks]

Several stand alone Johns & Anthonys, but Gypsy was the only one to put them together. (I'm sure D3 will correct me if I've overlooked anyone.)

[Stickerrocks]

John Anthony Archer, known as Jack. I think we can safely go with Helen's decision, as she is allowed to register the birth at the M&B unit. About to check back through to see how many got it right, as well as Gypsy above.

[GypsyFl0ss]

Jonathan Anthony Archer.

[SaraTheFairy]

Mephistopheles Titchener? Or to counteract Gideon, Boris Nigel? I'm still sad that now forgotten Mungo wasn't called Nebuchenezzar Bellamy-Snell

[rissabirnie]

John Thomas. After his father.

[Vango]

Popping on to guess Jack Adam.
