Re: The Poetry Thread.

The last few days... She said I should put my hair in a cake. I think something was lost in translation as a small bird blew a hole in the window too. ‘I think she had the flu.’ Said the Veterinary.

Alas, I copied it from a Portugese phrase book (my parents are going there on holiday in a couple of weeks)... The bit about strawberries was in the book too! I have been to Sintra a few years ago and enjoyed it lots. A really magical place! There is a particulary large tree there on a hill, near on...

Modern Art: fun trees exersize

I have devised a modern art lesson called 'Fun trees!' Let me know what you think. :) Fun trees! There were three big trees. Each tree had three main branches, with five sub branches on each main branch. They were placed in a triangle. The trees were labelled x, y, and z. The tree x was a third larg...

Re: Geeks or others: How do I start a website?

I think blogger would be fine for now, but my advice would be JOIN TEH GEEKS and learn HTML and CSS. I learnt it from a book and I'm not too clever so it can't be that difficult. Many books are geared to those with absolutely no experience with computers so read reviews carefully or choose one that ...

Frosty The Snowman

I was going through my dad's vinyl and found this: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fdfb60acb9a2a39d0f83d91f6dff7c38e04e75f6e8ebb871 Frosty The Snowman by Gene Autry. I think it's whistle being played in the intro but not sure... Either way it's a nice song and it's also nearly XMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
