The only time I had a detention at school was for playing noughts and crosses in a french lesson with the girl next to me. :lol:

Odd memories?? Like when you had your lower body and legs replaced by a stick?

Well I'll talk about that when you talk about your equivalent major plastic surgery...

No plastic surgeon would be that unkind.

I'm off to Spring Harvest down in Minehead from tomorrow to Sunday evening.
I don't expect to be anywhere near a computer in that time, and I'm not taking 'the Traitor' with me, so solving it will have to wait!

I'm going to Alaska tomorrow for a couple of weeks and I'll be back Fri 24th. I may not be near a computer for that time so if I'm not around it's not because anyone has upset me or because I'm ill - I'm just (hopefully) enjoying myself

Yeah, because Alaska is really well-known as a place people go to enjoy themselves... :lol:
Have a good time.

ALASKA? Flipping heck, that's different. Hope you have a lovely time. Take some pics? Maybe us simple folk who only get to go to Dorset (probably in the rain knowing my luck) can drool over them! :lol:

:shock: Just because you're on a puzzle forum you don't HAVE to go to places named in puzzles. [Mind you - there is plenty of choice in "Down the Tubes"] :lol:

Hope you have a great time. Not a part of the world I know anything about. Countryside and wildlife???

Well I would have thought moose, bear, caribou, wolves... oh, right. You're talking about Alaska. I thought you meant Dorset. :lol:

I'm not sure if we have internet access, but I may be able to borrow OH's laptop.

I have a heap in the middle of the lounge floor which includes four series of LOST in case of rain. We got halfway through series 3 and got rather behind so might have to start again. It also includes Loo paper and puzzle magazines, so that's all bases covered. :lol: :lol:
