Got that one right, the infamous finger up the opposition players ring gear comes to mind! So I guess maybe "b)" was the correct answer...

Close enough sunshine. You got the rest right so I reckon we'll let you in! Wish I could give Kudos on this site, your response was dead set, true blue gold!

Cheers,
Michael.

Hehe that Hills Hoist comment bought back some memories...
Growing up in a typical suburban backyard (without a swing set) our old Hills certainly provided some great entertainment, as we launched each other at terrifying speeds and took turns hosing each other to see who could stay on the longest

My kids, unfortunately, didn't fare so well when they recently tried to do a similar thing on our plastic Hills out the back. Result: a broken line and a mad mum Mind you, it's amazing how much I can still fit on half a line
