Never?

Lunchtime conversation yesterday included one topic which prompted me to ask the students present whether they hadn't done something that is a common thing for many people to do.

I asked my wife and her reply was that she had never been to Disneyland, or any other theme park. Me, neither!

I also remembered that I had not watched Star Wars until about two years ago..

How about you? It might be embarrassing or funny, I guess.

House moves

Etsuko told us of a fact she heard on a TV program this morning.

Apparently, Beethoven lived in 80 different houses during his life. That sounds a lot but is even more incredible when you consider that he only lived 56 years!

He must have moved house every 6-9 months during his whole life, or every 6 months if he only started moving during adulthood.

Taking a card from the popular Quiz Me! Conversation level 1, pack 2, I would like to ask how many times you have moved house, and which place you liked the most.

Airport security

Visiting the local airport let weekend, I recalled the time I was stopped at security, not for a bottle of water or a set of car keys, neither of which can be taken through to the Departures Lounge,, but for a bike spanner!
Yes, that useful dumbbell tool, which has 8 sizes to fit any nut, was considered a dangerous weapon, instead of a useful travel companion....

Have you ever been stopped, and if so, why?
