Many congratulations to Simon and Maureen. Simon is to become a Dad!

Yaaaay! Congrats Simon and Maureen!

D'awww, little baby Peggs.
She barely looks 5 months gone, though.

She wasn't pregnant then (in the photo in the article that is.)

Ohhhh Makes sense then!
I make a rubbish woman, I really do.

*squee* Congratulations to the both of them!

A note from Simon...

Hello all,

As some of you may have heard, due to The Daily Mail's kind and considerate decision to run a story despite over hearing me express a desire to keep things hush hush, Maureen and I are going to have a baby. We're trying to do it as quietly and privately as possible although perhaps a scoop was to be expected, seeing as we were out at the Brits last night (last one for a while). The place was of course full of journalists, a few of whom are our friends. I notice the piece in the Mail is written by an undisclosed 'reporter'. Guess I'm still naive after all these years.

I just wanted to let you guys know and to ask you not to worry about sending us gifts. In the past many of you have been very generous with birthday and Christmas pressies. Fact is, we're running out of room and our house is about to get a whole lot fuller. If you do feel the urge to bestow a trifle, I have recently started to work with Nordorff-Robbins Music Therapy. It's an amazing organization that seeks to help children suffering from severe illnesses and conditions such as autism, to reconnect with the world through music. Music therapy is a remarkable technique which is benefitting more and more people, as the organization grows. Go check out the website here and if you did feel like giving baby Pegg a gift, a donation to the charity would be lovely. I'm sure most of you weren't planning on cracking out the knitting needles but go check out the site nonetheless. It's fascinating and genuinely heartwarming stuff. Music therapy really does work.

Hope everyone is well.

Love, as ever

Simon x

Isn't it lovely when your surprise is ruined. Sorry to hear that Simon.

Bloody Daily Mail. Simon and Maureen are probably going to get bugged by reporters and paps in the lead up to the birth now, which is probably why they were keeping it quiet in the first place.

That aside, hearty congratulations to Simon and Maureen.

Many happy congrats to the Pegg's

Indeed.

Might I suggest a big congrats card signed by the forum posse/massive to go to the Peggs in 4 months time.

Yay! Congratulations!




I quite like this idea.

That baby will be the coolest baby in the world.

Congrats to Simon and Maureen!

Wonderful, happy news!

Great to get a reply from a guy attributed to Spaced. My sisters having a baby around about the same time.

Im proposing we call it asswand mclure cuz Asshole's gonna have a hard time getting an email address amirite

Heartfelt congratulations to the Pegg family!

I'm really pleased to hear that Simon's involved in music therapy, too. The arts therapies are a really great cause and genuinely help people who suffer from communication problems. (Which is why I shall hopefully be a qualified art therapist in a couple of years!)

Awesome news, Simon! Congratulations to you and yours! Thanks for the post via Downsy.

Has Baba Pegg been born?

Yes.

Guess I should've checked that thread first. But funny that the thought popped into my mind the same day it was posted.

Well, congratulations to Mr & Mrs Pegg.

Well, you were faster than the Beeb!

(Good linkage there for Harmony!).
