I saw E.T at the cinema. I must have been five years old. My mum cried at the end, which seemed pretty odd at the time. Sorry, not really the point of the thread I know. I was going to say that I'd never been to a football match, but then I remembered that I was once forced to watch Hertha Berlin on a stag weekend...

Darn it now I've got this in my head (with silly voices!)


I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band

I seen a needle that winked its eye

But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything

When I see an elephant fly

I seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring

I seen a polka-dot railroad tie

But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything

When I see an elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck

And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck

I didn't see that, I only heard

But just to be sociable, I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat

And I just laughed till I thought I'd die

But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything

When I see an elephant fly


*sighs*

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
