Do you know of a link which deserves adding to this collection? Mail me now and let me know about it.This page has received an award:
- which I gratefully acknowledge with the following verses by A. A. Milne:
A bear, however hard he tries,
Gets tubby without exercise.
He gets what exercise he can
By falling off the ottoman,
But generally seems to lack
The energy to clamber back.
