Default Bunas first grandchild

I'm overjoyed to announce that a midget submarine (without a periscope) is expected to be launched on or around 24th May 2019.

The Buna household (my wife Ann and son James) are literally over the moon.

Congratulations to the Buna family. We recently welcomed a midget submarine with a periscope. There is nothing like it.

A midget submarine without a periscope would be....a torpedo.

Congratulations to you both!

A little girl, uh? Girls are she's and she's are ships, but I guess using a submarine is okay

Sometimes they dive and sometimes the surface, but we pray they always come back safe and sound to homeport

Tis uncanny you should say that because that is precisely what the wife and I are in early discussions about post birth.
