     My sister Madeline and her husband Clive and Harry Potter have arrived for Christmas. Clive is a quantitiy surveyor. His profession must come in handy when he's looking at our Madeline, who is now a bigger quantity than when he married her by about four stones. Why is it that women always put on weight as soon as they're married? I would make it a law that all wives have to be weighed every wedding anniversary, and if they're over the weight that they were when they got married their husband could turn them in for a new one. The only wives who don't seem to put on weight are ones who are in girl bands, so it has only strengthened my resolve to marry an Atomic Kitten. After tea me and Clive talked about football and James Bond films. His favourite is 'Live And Let Die', which is also my favourite. Clive is all right, and it is quite obvious that it wasn't him, but my sister, who was responsible for giving Harry Potter the name Harry Potter. It must be something in the Mole genes which makes them saddle their offspring with embarrassing names. Thank Christ I'm not a woman because if I married somebody called Lecter I'd be sure to want to call our son Hannibal.
