That photo was actually taken in Edinburgh!!

and the answer to Teuchter Test 1 is

my granda!

Ah so it was you, and you fell into my devilishly cunning trap!

You're obviously too cunning for me!!!

Hey, Wumbee, thanks for taking care of Eggy last Saturday. Are you still lying in a darkened room?

Just thought you should know that I actually resigned from Eggy-motherhood in January (a long story starting with a school report...) so the position is currently vacant, not unlike the Eggstar himself.

He tells me that you and he bonded immediately, so I would like to give you first refusal on adoption. He comes with Child Benefit until September, two pianos, a bass guitar and an H2G2 T shirt. He does a good line in carwashing and dishwasher-loading, and the detritus from his hairbrush in a week could be woven into a fetching, life-like hairpiece for your good self.

This offer will expire at a date loosely connected to the calendar, so don't take too long to think about it. It's the best offer you'll get to acquire your very own teenager, and God forbid that you should be deprived of the joys of owning one of them!

You'd be better advised to stick with the hamsters Bonny Lad.

There are times when I wish I'd stuck to hamsters, but I can't admit that or I'll never get rid of the Eggstar!

I often wish I'd stuck to hamsters. So much smaller and quieter.

On the other hand, at least the children don't gnaw on the woodwork and wires (any more).

You speak for your own children...

There are others of us who are not so fortunate!
