It is theorised that pachycephalosaurs may have used head-butting as its chief method of attack. I use it for things that make me want to bang my head against the wall. ^_^<BR/><BR/>Ash - thank you, and, um, no. Did you? I think I've ben banging my head against the wall too much. That part of my bran seems to have gone. :-P<BR/><BR/>Claire - welcome! :) Oh, I SO need to go through my collection to make space, too. I have a lot to read that I picked up at that "fill a bag" library sale so I can decide which are "keepers" and which aren't. And oh my, I do love a good book warehouse.

But the rally successful ones provide jokes for both levels which explains their success. I read Stanley Bagshaw and the 14' Bicycle Wheel to both LSWMBO and Mr Happy and never tired of it (in fact I can recite much of it!) because it worked for both of us. Same with Roald Dahl books. Alternatively just provide a free block of chocolate and sales will blossom.<BR/><BR/>Nice day, but it's going to be bollock freezing by next weekend.
