From what I've heard, the India Commonweath Games committee (is that right?) is dropping Basketball and including cricket and snooker.

I probably would not go. (I didn't go to Sydney when it was the Olympics and that is closer.)

But what about you, ganesh?

This is interesting. I think (hope!!) I'm about half way through. The noises sound like when you open and lock your car. I've accidentally bumped my mouse into clicking the wrong arrows, even though I really wanted to choose the other!

If anyone else has done it, what time did you get?

Get a couple of bags of those really small eggs (they won't cost much). Then hide them all over the house the night before. In the morning: "Look! the Easter Bunny must have been!

And get some talcum powder or some white flour and use a stencil (like below) to make bunny pawprints around the garden/house. The kids will have fun following them to find the eggs.

(Just once you've finished, make sure you remember to dispose of the stencil before the kids find it. I know from experience that it completely wrecks it when you're happily following the Easter egg trail and two of your little friends come along and tell you they've found the 'bunny' in the bin. smile)

or does 'gluck' mean happy.

Yes, I think it can mean a few different things: happiness, luck, fortune.
Good luck: Alles gute, Viel Glück, Toi toi toi...

But... if you look closely, that's not the same as what was being done before.

You put 'tags' around the text you want to change.

See this page (second box) to see how.
