On Holiday, British PM Plans to Spend Gaming Time with Sons
On Holiday, British PM Plans to Spend Gaming Time with Sons
July 28, 2009
Beleagured British Prime Minister Gordon Brown plans to spend part of his upcoming holiday enjoying games with his two young sons, reports the Mirror:
The workaholic PM is determined to enjoy his holiday in the Lake District with wife Sarah and his sons, five-year-old John and three-year old Fraser.
He is well aware - partly because his Church of Scotland minister father had long absences overseas on missionary work - of the need to spend quality time with his boys. "I think for all fathers the challenge is finding the time to spend with your children," he admits...
He plans to do more "re-winning" of their interest as he watches the boys' favourite TV shows and plays computer games over the next few weeks at the couple's home in Scotland and on their holiday.
No particular games or systems were specified in the report, but last year Brown admitted that his son - then four - beat him at Wii Sports Tennis.

JDKJ: @Zip: If your arm is killing you, maybe it's got nothing to with any leaf blower. Maybe it has everything to do with your new Windows 7 and the increased speed with which you can now download content from the Internet. Don't go blind.
