I just registered to enter the chatroom, got my name & USER password, & then it asks for a ROOM password!!! What or where do I find or get this info!!! Granted, I just got my computer 2 weeks ago, but, I'M LOST!?! Guess I'm just thick. [Well, as advertised, the chatroom closed at 6PM (UK time). A completely random room password is then set in place to lock-in those who turned up before closing time and who wish to chat for a little longer. Opening and closing times are on our calendar. - Features Editor] To whom it may concern,

FEd, where did he get the title? - Posted by: rob at June 18, 2007 01:42 PM] Okay, so I am not FEd, but I will take a stab at the inspiration behind the title of Guy's book. I reckon the title of the book was inspired by a children's novel entitled: "My Family and other Animals" by Gerald Durrell. However, I haven't read the said Durrell novel yet, but I'm sure I will sometime as I understand it is a real gem.

Drunken sailors and one legged grannies with woodworm much in evidence ...

That's perfect for Grannies with wooden legs! Take a glass of rum and you join us! Thanks for the explanations about Echoes. I've never heard about that...it's funny! Don't we have similar stories about other songs? I want some gossip! L! Oh Tim, I learn also a beautiful song by pirates: “What shall we do with the drunken sailor”.
