I got to play Docs and nurses for real,but am better now... :D

 

its sad that many of our kids and granchildren will not have these sorts of memories to pass on or even talk about.. even simple things like hide and seek.

 

play stations and X box thingys are not the same

Why did you put a perch on top of the skate..? [/QB]

 

If I'd put the skate on top of the perch it wouldn't be able to see where it was going. :P

.......and "knock down ginger" of course.

 

Why the hell was it called that? :confused:

Dunno. In Scotland it is called 'Knock Door Run Away'. Much more logical.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

A clutter of starlings

I thought it was a murmuration of starlings...

 

A charm of goldfinches.

I don't think it is actually a "fixed" part of english grammar,there are variations;I have also come across a

murmuration of starlings, you could also have

a parliament of owls, and

an unkindness of ravens.
