Er, yep I am!  My g/f would add childish to the list too  ;)  When I do have kids they'll have to come up with new psychobabble to describe it.  I'm thinking something along the lines of 'biblical proportions'  ;) ;D

Yep, I'm a stay at home dad. Well, I do actually work from home doing graphic design, but the wife's got a good job and is out quite a lot (like today, for example - I'm looking after our 2 year old, and took our 5 year old to school this morning). Fortunately, my clients are not too pushy timewise and so I get most of my work done after the kids are in bed. Hence the reason why I am often creeping around this forum late at night....on my own!!

Find it difficult to put in the time on the Omega, though. Got a stack of jobs piling up like oil change, breather cleanse etc.

Main thing about being a dad with an Omega is the fact that one can really appreciate the crisp-bag and biscuit crumb-carrying capacity of the vehicle! Seriously, though, I think the Omega does perform really well as a family car. Loads of room to fit the kids into the child seat/booster seat and the air con, when it's working (!!), is really wothwile. Never thought about A/C when I was single. On warm days it was the norm to drive around with one arm resting on an open window eyeing up the scantily-clad local talent. ;D ;D. Don't do that these days, of course. ;)

You can't beat it for pram / shopping / toy / spare clothes carrying ability.  That's why i bought it. I've always liked big cars, and the fact that you can buy an Omega for the same money as an equivilent age escort /vectra makes it such a bargain.  Shame it's so thirsty though.  Still you've got to love that V6 roar.
