HI

I like the new name, you still haven't sent me that picture link though??

I still don't know it

Yeah, right!

I don't. And if I did, I still wouldn't give it out

What interesting things do you know about toads?

Hmm, different stuff. They are fascinating creatures.

tell me something then!

There's one that if it eats something poisonous throw up it's entire stomach, removes the toxic thing with it's foot and swallows the stomach again.

You know some wierd stuff, what else?

That there are some tadpoles that are something like 25 centimeters. But sadly they shrink when they turn into frogs, so no giant frogs.

I know one too! I used to have 'top trumps' frogs and toads cards, but I can't find them will have to have a look...

Top trump, what are those?

You never had top trumps: you never lived

They were a set of cards, and you dealed them out equally between the players. The aim of the game was to get everyone's cards. The subject could be anything, I think I had helicopters, cars, and frogs and toads. The way you won cards was that a person chose a characteristic [each card had a picture, a description and a set of characteristics] and the largest one won. So with cars, you had no. of cylinders and with frogs there was weight, length etc!!

It's a lot more interesting than it sounds!
FwT

Ah, I had some of those. Still have some lying around with cars and airplanes. Was never much into it though.

me neither, but now i look back at them with a nostalgic glow
