Who are you kidding Wowbagger, you love every minute of it. Looks very entertaining, actually; I might hire your services when there's nothing on TV. 'Wowbagger - entertainer: birthdays, weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs catered for'.
Is that how you spell bar mitzvah? Looks like a Jewish nightclub...

Yes... 'Wowbagger... travelling entertainer to the masses'! 
Mind you... it was educational also! In England, unless my memory fails me which it often does these days, we call the octopedial climber Incy Wincy.

Yes, I noticed that. You're right shazz, it *is* Incy Wincy. They obviously have no concept of what constitutes a sensible name in Australia. Ipsy Wipsy indeed; why, it's just nonsense.

Perhaps those with many legs imbibe too much F**ters in the land of Oz and are permanently 'Dipsy, tipsy'?

I have all three titles used at some time or other. I do believe shazz's 'Incy Wincy' is the correct version though

put the word "heard" between 'have' and 'all' and you may be closer to what I was trying to say.

Please don't tar all of us Aussie's with Wowbagger's Queenslander brush - it's always been Incy Wincy here
Personally I am more than a bit concerned about that caterpillar frame - it's a VERY strange angle!!!!

And no comment on the caterpillar - I have the sneaking suspicion that anything I say at this point will get me into trouble one way or another. Unlike me, you all have disgusting minds! LOL
