*Is still studying the rockpool in depth*

<BB<

* notices BB looking at the rock pool *

BB what are you looking at?

Do you see that microscopic crab and the starfish in the bottom of this pool?

<BB<

* looks in her backpack for a microscope *

* looks with microsocpe *

Oh yes!

*entirely distracted by looking at the albatross fails to notice the others paying so much attention to a rock pool and its contents...

*feels something is up and turns to see others...
*supprise at not seeing them almost falls off the rock...
*spots them at teh rock pool and walks over...

Hmmm: whats in the pool then?

Here - you will need this

* passes microscope *

Can you see the microscopic crab?

*loks down microscope
Can I lie to you and say I can? Oh, no, there it is, It looks like a crab larvae to me, what do you think?

Well I have to confess even with the microscope I am not sure what I am looking at

It's a spider crab, but a very small one.
They're grrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaattt. Except my sister always attacks them by screaming loudly at them, which is very odd as I don't think crabs have ears.

<BB<

Hmm, i wonder if Crabs do have ears...
*claps hands loudly above crab...
No, no response....

At last! An explanation of why Shakespeare's speach in "Julius Ceaser" is not
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen and crabs, lend me your ears!"

<BB<

* giggles *

hmm, hold on::
*leans over pool containing very small crab...
"hello? Mr Crab, the seagulls have come to eat you!"

"hello!"
No, no good deaf as a crab...
*giggles

Out of curiousity, am I the only Lighthouse Family fan in this thread?
I really want to buy their new album this week, I've heard half the single, and I really liked it, so I was wondering if anyone else knows what it is like.

<BB<

I have their previous albums but have not heard the new one ...

I have to confess not to have knowingly really heard them... I tend not to listen to music radio, as i don't like most of the music they play, so i guess i miss the bits i might like, pressuming they do play them....

I don't listen to the radio, but I listen to my friends, some of which do listen to the radio. They filter out all the rubbish and let me know what good songs are about.
Although I was sent a postcard telling me about the new Lighthouse Family album.

<BB<

SOunds like you have some great friends!

You had a postcard from the Lighthouse Family? I must be realted to them and I have not Well I guess thats families for you. First they go away without telling you and then they leave you out when they send postcards!

When I bought "Postcards From Heaven" they had a postcard in the album which, if you filled in and returned, would put you on their mailing list. So far, I have received one postcard, so it's just like a close family member

<BB<

typical of families isn't it? The last album I bought I won't probably listen to again... it was awful... But it was the first Ozzy Osbourne release for a few years, so i had to buy it to find out... very overhyped... which is a pity as the previous album was probably one of his best I keep thinking about buying more Red Hot chilli peppers... which I dojn't know why i just decided to mention, well, I'm listening to the one album by them i have
