Advantages: Fun for the whole damn family Disadvantages: Yes
Mousetrap- the nearest thing to a adventure for many children. One of the few games that you can actually see work, this is a great favourite for kids.
Mousetrap is a board game in which you roll a dice then move accordingly- making it a game of luck and playable by adults and kids at the same time. Every time you land on a specific quare you can add a bit to a mouse trap (not the ordinary kind!) In this mouse trap a ball rolls down a slope, whacks a boot before causing a soldier to jump and eventually making the trap fall onto a square. If there's any mice (counters for the game) there then it traps them and they've won.
Mousetrap is a fun, lively game that can be enjoyed from anyone about 7 to adulthood! It does get a bit tedious after a while as the whole game is worked up to a mouse being trapped and occasionally this doesn ...

Advantages: Mechanical discovery, noise, competition Disadvantages: Breakages, can be time consuming to actually win
a piece is the most lusted after space, as this is how the mousetrap gets constructed. It took 2 graduates and an undergraduate several minutes to figure out how the pieces fit together, but I reckon that kids, with their supple minds, would do it faster and with less swearing! It's great fun for any lego building type kids who like to build stuff. I loved it myself. Right - so you meander around the board constructing things when you get chance. It's grand. Then, the point of the game actually becomes apparent - getting to the end and getting to fire the rather viscious mechanism (don't let them play this near any priceless family breakables!)is not actually the point. Instead you have to ensnare the other mice in the trap and escpae getting trapped. This can actually get quite dull and go on for ages - but it does usually involve getting to ...

Mackerel as bait for sea fishing.
Those of you that have been sea fishing from a boat will know that Mackies can be a pain in the proverbial b*m when you are trying to get your rigs down to the sea bed where the decent fish are supposed to be.
But you probably know that Mackerel make good bait for those self same (and in my case, ELUSIVE) big boys.
Here is my tip for you: Catch the b*ggers, fillet them and freeze them.
BEFORE YOU START CLICKING ON THE "WHAT A WASTE OF CIAO SPACE THIS IS" BUTTON, let me explain a bit more.
Freezing mackies, or more accurately, THAWING mackies, makes them go mushy and difficult to keep on the hook. The clever thing to do is to cut into fillets whilst fresh, layer them in a box containing 3 cm of salt and totally cover them in MORE SALT, 6 - 10 cms deep.
These fillets should be left in ...
