Susie191 set a challenge
Its one I can't resist
I get to write about me
And make a little list
When Duncan(Torr) done this challenge
He done it all in rhyme
I know his was much better
The dirty, rotten swine
But I will try my hardest
Have a read and see
And if I make you giggle
Then please give me an E.
5 things I can do
******************
I can make up poems
You see, I like to write
I share some with the rest of you
But most of ... ...always tastes so yum
The problem is I eat it And the weight goes on my bum
I can speak some Spanish,
German and French too
I also know Sign Language
My friends, I swear its true!
I am a Highland dancer
I know the swords and Fling
I had all the national outfits
And the Scottish anthem I can sing
I can hook both legs around my shoulders
But for this there is no point
I can still do it now I'm so supple
And also I have double joints 5 things ...

This is something that Marmilady gave me the first paragraph for. 'See what you can come up with from this' she said.
So this is it, not at all what I had intended when I started to write, but something clicked in my head and it felt right. This is what suddenly came to my mind, something I needed to write. Thank you Kay.

Yesterday I had my first experience at fainting. It was quite scary as I didn't know what had happened or have any idea of the length of time which had passed. Fainting seems to be one of those things that everyone has a very basic idea of why they happen, and how to treat them, and yet people's views on how to deal with it still differ at the same time.

Fainting is related to your heart, circulation, blood pressure and breathing, and ... ...is sometimes referred to as 'your body's way of getting you to lie down' while oxygen carrying blood finds its way to the brain.

I've been pondering for a while now how to mark the occasion of writing my 500th Ciao review and after having dismissed a lot of other possibilities I have decided to write about what is most important to me - my family!

A TRIBUTE
For the world in general the period of 1939 and 1945 signifies one of the greatest conflicts the world has ever seen, the Second World War. This conflict scourged almost the entire world and sweeping in its wake just about every nation on the face of the Earth. However, at the same time there was a concurrent conflict that had its roots in the Second World War, but which was independent from the strife of the war outside: Finland's the ... ...the Second World War proper has never been all that close to me; like a historical phase that has touched on the rest of the world, but not my people.

The purpose for my little paper here is to offer my small tribute to this conflict ...

Skaters:
The name is a bit misleading, Skaters can also be Moshers or BMXers, but the gist is the same. They are outdoorsy types who are, for the most part, perfectly nice friendly people.

Baggy trousers/combats

Skate tees
Backwards baseball caps
Really wide sunglasses
Long messy/Punk/Mohican/Mohawk hair
Possibly several piercings.
The typical music of choice for a stereotypical Skater would be bands like Puddle of Mudd, System Of A Down, Sum 41, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Good Charlotte or Nickelback. Easy going rock type music, ...
