A new addition to the family

James W

Congrats Fraser!

Given that your new born will be sharing in Brown's massive debt burden - I hope you to see you blogging with graphs soon.

All the best,

oldtimer

Congratulations to you both.

As for the other son, one of my grandsons was suitably distracted by a Spiderman outfit. Or maybe a Buzz Lightyear kit - if, that is, these are still the fashion.

THX1138

Aghhhh. Congratulations Fraser.

Nick Brown

Many congrats Fraser - enjoy some time with the new addition - but please hurry back!

Patricia Shaw

You won't be missed.

Danko

Congratulations Frasier.

Danko

Apologies, I meant Fraser and not Frasier. The dangers of having a Grandfather named with the others spelling.

jane

Congratulations - what a whopper! In time for Christmas too.

Naomi Muse

Congratulations, Fraser!

How wonderful for you. All best wishes to you, your wife and the baby.

Holly ......

Congratulations to both of you.
You are very lucky.

Pamper his mum.
9lbs 1oz OUCH!!?

Tiberius

Congratulations to you and your better half, Fraser, and make sure you buy a present for your first-born from your new-born, to be given when the latter arrives home. It's great for making the occasion a success!

Obnoxio The Clown

Congratulations Fraser!

Michael Booth

Many many congratulations to you both! He looks a fine boy. Any name as yet? All the best!

Obnoxio The Clown

"You won't be missed."

What a churlish thing to say. You must be one of Labour's attack chihuahuas.

Nicholas

Ignore the spite of the socialist (some equality, some fairness) Mr Nelson and congratulations.

cityboozer

The vast right-wing conspiracy increases just keeps on growing.

Good work, Nelson family!

Andy Carpark

Patricia Shaw, my but you're lovely. Truly, it is a wonder that some people are not choked by the venom of their own bile.

London Calling

Beautiful…Born on the night of a meteorite storm, I shall call him Shooting Star.

Congratulations to you all….:)

Subrosa

Congratulations to you and your wife Fraser. Such a sensible suggestion from Tiberius too.

Stevie Walker

Congratulations and may Lady Luck always shine on the little one.

strapworld

Congratulations to Mrs Nelson and yourself. Where you present at the birth?

May we run suggested names?

Gordon perhaps?

Tom Burroughes

Congratulations mate, that is wonderful news.

Nick

Congrats.

Why has the NHS use a hessian sack to wrap him?

Andrew

Congratulations Fraser. Enjoy.

Chuck Unsworth

Congratulations - to you both. Let's hope that by the time your boy reaches the 'age of understanding' things may have improved for us all.

Personally I'm wondering when or if ever I will reach that age....

Vulture

Many congratulations to all three of you.
As for names, how abt. either Adam ( after Adam Smith, arguably the greatest Scot); Robert ( after Robert Burns and RLS [ditto]); or David ( after Hume, arguably Scotland's greatest [only?!] philosopher.

Pie

Congratulations!

paulholdstock

congratulations fraser,
what a truly enduring consumermas present!

General Zod

He's a big boy! Congratulations.

Hawkeye

Sleepless nights in the Nelson household!

Congrats to yourself and the missus

Martin Bright

Congratulations Fraser. And Gordon is indeed a perfectly fine Scottish name. I dare you to reclaim it for the right.

Draughtsman

Very many congratulations to you and your wife. 9lb 1oz eh? a real bonny lad!

MisterE

Congratulations... relieves a bit of the future debt burden for the rest of us!

David Ossitt

Our most sincere congratulations Fraser to both you and your wife.

Have a very happy Christmas.

David Ossitt

Patricia Shaw

"You won't be missed"

Patricia; you have an ugly mind, you are never at a loss for that nasty word, or else the spiteful comment.

I bet that you are not a barrel of laughs; nor a joy to be with, and with thoughts like yours you can not possibly be a thing of beauty or a vision of loveliness .

Tankus

Congratulations Frasier.

golfwidow

What a wee smasher! Many congratulations.

Patricia Shaw - YOU certainly won't be missed so push off.

Patricia Shaw

Andy and The Clown -

So sorry to offend your delicates but Nelson, Phillips, Neil and the Brothers Grim use this place as a forum for a rather whiffy breed of ultra right Likudniks, whose views on Palestinians border on race hate.

None of them would be missed.

biggestaspidistra

so beautiful.

Edmund Jerk

Congratulations Fraser!

strapworld

Patricia Shaw,

As the christian celebration of Christmas was defined by the birth of a baby boy, and is celebrated by the giving of gifts to others.

May I,with that in mind, sincerely, wish you every misfortune you wish others to visit you in large portions this christmas time and every day of the New Year.

Danko

Patricia Shaw, is there really ANY need for that? The man has just become a father for a second time, and all you can do is bang your bloody drum about ideas and politics which you are, quite disgustingly, distorting in the extreme. Shame on you.

JohnPage

More congrats :)

TrevorsDen

The least Ms Shaw could have done is draw attention to the leaked proof that Iran are building a nuclear bomb (The Times).

I am really cross because she has rather spoiled my own bah humbug as I was going to berate Fraser for not reminding the midwife about all the extra tax/NI she will pay under Gordon Brown. Now I can't.

Paul D

Congratulations Fraser! My twin boys were born in Kingston Hospital and, like you, we found the staff to be fantastic.

A very Happy & Peaceful (Ha Ha!) Christmas.

Snowman

well done Fraser, congrats

Patricia Shaw - get life, will you

AndyinBrum

On the plus side, does this not mean everyones debt, thanks to Messrs Brown, Darling and Balls is now that little bit smaller?

Hawkeye

@Danko - it is what lefties do. They vent envy, bile, vitriol and spleen at anyone who does not subscribe to the religion of socialism. They are nasty and vindictive and I hope that Fraser Jr never turns into one of them.

As for Patricia Shaw, I'll wish her a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year because I prefer to wish everyone good cheer and good luck rather than misery and defeatism.

HFC

Many congratulations to you and your wife, Fraser.

Would I be disappointed to hear that you had chosen to call the lad Horatio?

Well no, I would not.

Edward

Congratulations!

"Interestingly, the midwife said they are at their busiest here during a full moon or during a storm. "

I doubt we'll be able to time it that accurately, but thanks anyway!

Daniel1979

Congratulations to you and your family Fraser

Verity

I have nothing new to say, except to offer a warm welcome to the world for the Nelsons' new wee bairn. I hope life smiles on him.

Philip Walker

Shame on you, Fraser, for admitting to the UK another helpless and hopeless immigrant who can contribute nothing to society and will merely drain resources. (Major ;-) )

Congrats!

wrinkled weasel

Congratulations. I wish the little fella all the best.

Martyn Rowe

Awww congratulations Fraser - he is gorgeous. A perfect early Christmas present. Well done to you and your wife.

Martyn.

ps - I had my first child five months ago today (a little boy called Josh) so I'm envious of the fun you are about to have.

Gawain

Many Congratulations and Happy Xmas! Perhaps if you wrap him in decorative paper and put him under the tree no. 1 will think he's his.

paul

Congratulations to the nelson family.

John David Barnett

Congratulations.

Edward Sutherland

Many congratulations to you, Fraser, and of course to your wife. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your new little one...and a very Happy Christmas to you, Patricia Shaw.

Boudicca

Congratulations to you both. I hope the new addition quickly settles into the family. My eldest son adored his baby brother - as I'm sure yours will.

David Lindsay

Congratulations.

Frank P

Congratulations Fraser to you and Mrs N - best wishes to y'all, glad to note he was born in Surrey - excellent for the demographics - and the 'United' Kingdom. Lang may hus lum reek (CO2 notwithstanding).

YouCannotBeSerious!

Congratulations Fraser - my baby daughter has just celebrated her first birthday - provoking a lot of reminiscence about the birth. It's a wonderful time - I hope you enjoy it, despite your massively increased workload.

Also good to hear about your positive review of Kingston. After experiencing post-natal care in St George's, we may well go to Kingston for any future addition to the YouCannotBeSerious! clan.

It will be a joyous Christmas in the Nelson household.

Ivy Eileen

Congratulations to you and your family. My granddaughter was born in Kingston Hospital six months ago and, yes, the staff and everyone there were wonderful then too.

As for "Patricia Shaw", a Happy Christmas and many blessings for the coming year.

Tim Carpenter LPUK

Congratulations! A fine profile - get those coins minted.

I know how you feel, my 2nd was born on the 3rd.

Holly ......

Yup.
Still gorgeous.

Anne Wotana Kaye

Congratulations! By the way, if it's a choice between looking like Churchill or a mince pie, imagine if the choice for a newborn was looking like Gordon Brown or a mince pie!

Paul B

Congrats Fraser, enjoy.

Patricia Shaw

Gee Strapworld

The truth really stings doesn't it?

Don't like it when you or your little chuckle chums are exposed openly for what you are, do you?

By the way, are you the same, er 'Strapworld' that accused Gordon Brown and Ed Balls of being pederasts for being photographed with children?

Hysteria

Congratulations to you both (especially Mrs N - wow !!!)

logdon

'This gorgeous, wee creature'. And he sure is. The peace of innocent babes? And it looks like he's got his Father's full head of raven locks already.

Congratulations Frazer.

I don't usually swear on blogs but this one calls for a, why don't you just fuck off, Patricia?

Fox in a box

Patricia,

a word in your shell, dear. Whatever your ire, this thread in particular is not really the platform for it.

Anne Wotana Kaye

Sorry Guys and Gals,
But I really don't believe that bete noir really exists. You know who I mean, the stupid bovine who appears like a fairy tale wicked witch at the Christening party, but who gets her uppance at the end. Nobody could be that vile and make such snide remarks on the joyful occasion of a baby's birth. I think the "Spectator" have invented her and spend their coffee breaks writing nasty things in her name. She is a good excuse for us all to vent our own spite onto the forum and prevent us doing GBHs on annoying people. I will be a lady, and wish her everything she wishes us (with brass knobs on)!

Anna

Congratulations Fraser, what a wonderful Christmas present!

Patricia Shaw

Dear Little Logdon - A mercifully wee posting compared to your usual endless Islamaphobic rants, short on logic but long on praise for Princess Melanie.

When you've finished frothing, remind us if you would of your views on the legality of settlement Growth would you?

Judy

Welcome to the world, Baby Nelson. Congratulations to Mrs N, the Big Brother and you.

You will indeed be missed, because your insights are amongst the best on the UK political blogging scene, not least because you seem to be one of the few who really understands the maths, and explains the implications well.

Good luck with trying to explain the benefits of having a LIttle Brother to Big Brother. But actually, I think Little Brother grasping his finger is probably going to do the job more effectively himself.

Meanwhile, he'll probably appreciate your suggestions that Little Brother will never really catch up with him and will always see him as bigger and faster and just ahead of him in every way. The other Big Brothers he knows will probably confirm that. And reading him the "My Naughty Little Sister" stories might encourage him to grow himself into that benignly Olympian stance.

I expect a good dollop of your total interest and attention might be pretty good consolation too.

Andy in France

Many congratulations to all in the Nelson household.

Patricia Shaw

Hey Anna Montana - Fraser's with you, at least in spirit.

"It's a significant part of my job as editor to defend people's rights to be offensive."

Isn't it nice to know you have at least one friend?

Anne Wotana Kaye

Patricia Shaw: What an egoist you are. Was your name mentioned? Still if the cap fits wear it! This is the season of good will, so will wish you whatever you wish all us bloggers.

TGF UKIP

Congratulations Fraser, a pair of opening batsmen.

If your Viking Queen wouldn't let you get away with Ronald Reagan Nelson first time, you've got to insist on it this time round.

Beer Moth

Congratulations the Nelsons.

This is what it is all about. Enjoy.

---------------------
Patricia Shaw: You have yourself a very Merry Christmas madam.

salieri

A propos wicked fairies at the christening, does anybody know when and why "Peace to men of good will" (pax hominibus bonae voluntatis) became habitually mis-translated as "Peace and good will to all men"? It may be Christian to wish the latter, but sometimes I just can't. No names, though, at this joyous time of year.

DangerDave

Nice one

Beer Moth

My first looked so much like Mr Magoo that I still call him that sometimes - and he's now 21.

He faired better than his sister though, who was the image of Donald Pleasance. No such nickname has survived.

Ben Elford

Congratulations to you and Mrs Nelson; very best wishes for the future.

Jeremy

How about Horatio? For a name, I mean...^^

I hope that you and your family have a really happy Christmas, Fraser.

egh

Congratulations to the Nelson Family!! May both sons inherit a better world than we see before us.

Happy Christmas to all - including PShaw.

Helps to explain where she is coming from. Lots of anger and tragedy there.

Annabel Herriott

Congratulations Fraser. Interesting lad. Sun in sagittarius, moon in scorpio, Ascendant 26scorpio03' Which means he is an optimistic little sag, with a secretive side. Born under the powerful pluto/saturn square, he may turn out to be powerful. With sun square uranus, jolly independent with it. Have fun.

Amadeus Plonquer

Congratulations Fraser. Fortunately for us all the baby looks like your husband.

Austin Barry

Congratulations Fraser and Missus. Eton?

Augustus

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Fraser. A fine looking wee bairn indeed.

Arthur

Congratulations. How about calling him Half?

hadrian

What a wee cutie!
Excellent to see the Nelson clan multiplying and doing its bit towards keeping our demographics healthy! Stuff the incoherent 'overpopulation' doomsters, who on the one hand practically preach sterility as the only answer, yet on the other tell us mass immigration is needed to shore up our falling population!!
And apart from all that, Nelson is a good Scottish name!!
