Thanks for the laff Strike :-)
I did similar myself except, while going through a long tomboy phase, I put
my friends - a jar full of cute lil tadpoles, in to my step-fathers water
tank. The day he turned the tap on to get some water & it was blocked up
with frogs I was in deep manure ;-)

Talking of manure - I just received our National News Summary and an item
on cows caught my attention.  'Cow gas study: Australian farmers told to
work out how often their cows burp so scientists can work out how cow gas
contributes to greenhouse gas'.  Whatever next!
