Thanks and yes I have hugged him to death, As for the question about GMTV he was on there this morning, aparently the phones have not stopped ringing at the studios. He has written another one which i will share with you all tommorrow. But most importantly thanks for the support you have shown him it has put a smile back on his face. Thank you.

Robbie showed his latest poem, 'Is it my dad?' to the PRINCE OF WALES yesterday and believe it or not the Prince actually signed it. So robbie has suggested that we frame it and action it of to raise funds for a memorial to those marines who tragically died. What do you think?

the poem goes like this

IS IT MY DAD?

Is it my dad, I do not know?
The picture gives an eerie glow
Any glimpse of my dad would be a treat
To see my dad that would be neat.

Dessert Cams, all look the same
Their soldiers allwithout a name.
Infantry, Guards and Royal Marines
But, I only look out for the lid that is green.

The TV is on, the news is abound
A glimpse of my dad then all would be sound,
To know he's ok, to know he is safe
All the bad pictures I want to erase.

My dad will come home a hero to all.
But we will NOT forget those who took the fall,
But in the meantime, I would like a glimpse of my dad.
Please god let him come home to play with his lad.

Oh my god it is so good I am literally getting goose pimpled all over! WAO he is really good!

[North Sea Tigress]

Well done Robbie, Flo you have one hell of a kid there. Like Loz said, it is good that he can channel his energy so constructivley. I wish a twelve year old would stop making me cry though! I don't know about all the other kids feeling like that, but I can tellyou, there is one wife watching the telly praying for a glimpse, just the one, give the boy a bear hug from me.

The last time I made a woman go all goose bumpy Nurse caught me and gave me a bloody good slapping. Not a good thing to do to a President, deminishes my authority.

Flo, give Ratso a bell, he'll have an idea for Robbie's poems, especially now Charles has signed it.

[SCOUSE]

Well i thought i was void of all emotion, but thanks to young Robbie there i know what its like to cry again.
thanks a million kido and i hope your dad is home soon
