  4. Clever use of bone as microphone. Also am very impressed with correct usage of 'literally.' Wish I'd known about these when my boys were smaller - although they'd probably enjoy them now anyway!

  5. EPM, not at all surprised - must be those Scandinavian good looks!

    MsC - I have to be honest and say that *I* still enjoy them. Whish they would incorporate them into my boy's school curriculum, tbh...
