I assumed you were referring to a bar of chocolate at first. But it's some kind of climbing frame, right? There was something like this in the playground at my primary school: my younger brother was pushed off it by another kid, and broke his ankle! At a school where I once taught, someone else fell off one of these and spent 3 weeks in a coma. Dangerous things!

I feel strongly ambivalent about them. I enjoy rocking as much as the next autie, but I don't want to get too entranced by it and miss something important.

Oh, are you a teacher, DeepHour? I used to teach Computer "Stuff" (Computer Operations, Programming, Word, Excel, etc.). What do YOU teach?



I don't know much about Mozart----my favorite classical piece is Beethoven's "Fleur de lis".

The most generally recognised little red wagons in the UK would be the bright red vans of the Royal Mail, which my postman or postwoman uses to get around. The business has just been privatised, and is no longer owned by HM The Queen :( :D

I used to be a teacher, Campin Cat, but gave it up more than ten years ago, because of what it was beginning to do to my mental state! I taught Latin and an occasional bit of Ancient Greek and History.

NB I wish I'd learnt a lot more computer stuff - I feel like a total beginner compared to a lot of the people on these forums. I still can't even master "cut and paste"!

WHOA----those are some heavy subjects----I can certainly understand "mental strain", there!! !

Awww, PM me anytime if you want help----I have no problem with that!



Now.....

"Train Journey".....

LOVE THEM----can't get enough of them!! ! I've loved trains all of my life----I'm drawn to all kinds of modes of transportation, really. Also, I used to be a brakeman on a freight train----I had a BLAST!!

I had cheese fondue once, about ten years ago... while on holiday visiting some friends.
I was amused by the fondue fountain.

I stepped on one with my bare foot while partying out by the river. Instead of saying anything, which I expected would cause a fuss, I just sat down and spent close to an hour carefully removing all the tiny spines.
