As if it wasn’t enough to have two of our director’s better halves ‘popping’ out babies (my inner feminist cringes at the turn of phrase) within 24 hours of each other last November it seems that studio north can once and for all be claimed to be the most fertile office in Manchester. 

Nick was the first to jump on the band wagon with the birth of his second kiddiwink Lewis Christopher Wright on 19 August 2008.  Yet to be put through the trauma of Meet the Team Lewis remains blissfully unaware that his dad is in fact half man and sauntered off for a bacon butty soon after his birth.  Talk about seeting your kid up for psychological trauma; he is kind of cute though….. 

Of course it’s all about equality and Mr Andy Whitwood of digital fame decided enough was enough with the executive babies club, conspired with wife Jenny and lo and behold, the birds and the bees did their usual stirling job and we have another baby on the way.

Of course pregnancy is an extremely complicated process, they don’t call it the miracle of life for nothing and the distress that Andy experienced with the realisation that one of his own was going to be Mancunian rather than Geordie was palpable throughout the office.  Not one to rest on his laurels however he decided to take matters into his own hands and, on a par with playing classical music to brainify he set about instructing his wee bern on his ‘cultutal’ heritage.

 Doctor’s have expressed shock and excitement at the results of Andy’s dedication, branding it a ‘medical miracle’ leaving no doubt that babies are in fact able to absorb information from within the womb.

We, on the other hand can only wish the child all the best for the future as a life supporting the Magpies is always going to be a hard one with many twists and turns and if current form has anything to go with depression and incredulity will be well known visitors….
