Ward Miles Scot was born in July of 2012, fragile and tiny at 26 weeks, three and a half months premature.

Last month, to mark the first year since Ward was released home from intensive care, Scot presented his wife (and the internets) with this montage.

Mff.

Further to yesterday’s controversial Microsoft competition.

The TWO winners of 1 year licenses to Microsoft Office 365 Small Business Premium, worth €150 EACH are…

Jenny: “My small business needs this because my current programme cannot help but make my head explode on a daily basis. With a new business and a full time job I just don’t have the time to be cleaning up that mess every day.”

Morgz: “My father needs this because his current programme is…. well, he doesn’t have a current programme. He manages all of his band bookings in a PAPER DIARY (I know, they still sell them) because our licence ran out two years ago. The ability to use excel to manage his customer list alone will change his life, he just doesn’t know it yet! With 250 upcoming gigs this man needs to get real.“
Thanks all
