Hi all, Im not like that, im pretty clever with pc's. the only problem I have is finding the on/off button. TED.

Made me chuckle too. It makes you wonder sometimes how people manage to get through their daily lives. Something else to make you chuckle - a teacher at the school where I work was organising a trip for pupils to go and see a play in a London theatre. One pupil asked her 'Miss - is it in black and white or colour?'.

Thanks Ted, Cheered me up when I most needed it. Silver Surfer,

I work in a school and most of the time there are problems with the computers its because someone hasn't switched them on! As for colour/black and white - last year I was on a school trip with reception/year one to a farm. We looked at the sheep and found that most of them were white, but some had black faces. After lunch, the children drew something they had seen and one boy drew a sheep. He put his hand up and said he wanted to colour in the sheep but couldn't remember what colour it was. I said 'Do you remember some of them had different coloured faces?' and he replied 'Yes. Were they red?'!
