PM me and let me know what sort of stuff you're after and I'd be glad to help. I remember Warwick Uni quite well and remember beating them at rugby on a regular basis!!

Re: Encore une fois!

Glad you arrived safely home amidst the chaos in England at the moment.

I suspect you are busily constructing your ark right now. And I suspect that the "Poo" story will be written down for posperity some day.

I am still trying to figure out what is long-necked and furry. I have been looking at every creature I see which is native to the area: Bison, no. Squirrel, no. Geese (long necks, but no fur), polar bear, no (I visited the zoo recently) Any bear, no. Wolverine, no. Fox, no. Wolf, no, 456 species of deer, no, mountain goats (long, curly horns, but rather short necks, ditto mountain sheep) .....'tis a puzzlement....

That would be 'posterity' dear heart. Not to be confused with posterior, which might be an altogether different poo story!

Waiting for our children to complete their 326th consecutive circuit of Rock and Roller Coaster, I was approached by a middle aged couple, whom, by their demeanour and the thirty six cameras strung around their necks I took to be Chinese.

Now I have always found Chinese people to be fairly direct in their approach, but even I was a little taken aback when they pointed to their park map and the man said

"We need a poo!"

"Pardon?" I asked, a little surprised.

"We need a poo!"

They thrust the map under my nose as if asking me to point to something.

"I think they want the toilet," I told my wife as she looked on rather puzzled.

"We need a poo!" he repeated, sounding a little desperate.

"I'd better take them," I told the wife. "It's only over there."

"Come this way," I said, beckoning the couple to follow. They smiled and fell in behind.

The 'toilettes' were not too far away, which was just as well because conversation was rather limited. In a minute or so, we were there. I pointed to the rest rooms and smiled. I expected a thank you, a smile or maybe life membership of the Shanghai British Legion Club, but all I got was a pair of matching very puzzled faces.

"We need a poo!" they repeated, almost in unison.

"Yes. In there," I urged, pointing again at the rest rooms.

"No," they said. "We need a poo and Tigger."

The penny dropped. They were looking for Winnie the Pooh!! I mumbled some incomprehensible reply, pointed vaguely in a direction that would take them as far away from me as possible, smiled and slithered back to my wife.

Vive la difference!!
