^ Hehehe. You are as barking as me. I've only seen a few but love that little vacuum cleaner that pops out occasionally to clean up. :lol:

Did you ever watch the Magic Roundabout? They don't make quality educational programmes like that any more.

No, I haven't even heard of it. Watching an example/piece of it on Youtube right now though. (Dougal and others I see and hear). Looks.... um, dated.

It's a shame you cannot watch Youtube (wish not to due to malware trouble maybe) for there's some great stuff to be found there. Just dropped one in the 'Post a Youtube video' thread in Random.... and I'm pretty sure you would laugh as hard as I did.... watching it. Someone 'sillied' David Attenborough in a brilliant way.. (not disrespectful).. truly, truly hilarious, imo.

The Magic Roundabout was a long while ago.

I'd like to watch Youtube but it is very slow to download on dial-up internet. So unless something is an absolute "must see" it just takes too long - it can take half and hour to an hour to download things during which time my connection grinds to a halt. No option for fast internet here yet. Too rural.

Sorry to hear.... for it's a shame you're missing out a bit on some things that way. But hey.... hope it will improve soon. (aren't there other options, I wonder now)

Here in Holland they are selling 2.6 Ghz frequencies (part of the radio-waves spectrum) to providers soon. Do not know much about it but I think that's internetting via satellite for i-Pads, i-phones and fast broadband internet in general probably too.... is that an option?

Don't know.

Yes, satellite is an option for internet access but it is too expensive at the moment. From what I can gather it isn't always that reliable either (in France anyway).

^ The local supermarket had lapins for sale in the butchers dept today. They were skinned but still had head with eyes staring at me walking past 8O (grizzly somehow).

Yes, rather. I wonder why they leave the heads on? There can't be any useful meat there?

Maybe indicates they are fresh? Maybe French people boil 'em up for the dogs? Who knows? They looked quite disgusting somehow.
