I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Marvellous. I've always enjoyed the Heath Robinson illustrations.

It's not always so easy to follow the ideas of what he portrayed but purely as imagery ? brilliant........

(from pendants corner, to "no" something as in knowledge, means it's spelled "know". I'll get me coat ;D )

Da nada matey. It's just that from the time I started with this internet thing, I've taken flak because it's hard to convey my exact sense of what is meant by my replies i.e. that I read them as off the cuff, throw away silliness/sarcasm, yet others have taken them to be rude or mean replies (one of the reasons I'll add emoticons etc, as perfect punctuation and spelling just doesn't "cut the mustard").

So I've become a little pedantic and it's hard not to be a bit of a spelling nazi sometimes ::) ;D

Hey ho!

There you go Mr Four Square. Not sure why you might conclude that it's about childrens leisure pursuits in the local parks ;D
