how come we in the West dont carry possesions on our heads??
.. just watching the BBC 10 O clock news, and a report from Uganda, all the villagers were carrying their stuff on thier heads! .. this seems to make perfect sense to me, it distributes the weight throughout the entire body. i say we give it a try, next time i come back from my Tesco Bigshop on friday i'm gonna carry all my bags on my head.

.. i dare say balance will be an inital problem, but I'm sure i can overcome this .

Lets all give it a go!!!

what say you ?

You were obviously not watching Newsnight when they were doing an interview and someone walked past in the background with a tray of cups balanced on her head!

Speaking of Hobnob's, some kid in my class used to eat a packet of them a day and used to ask people would like a little bit of a hobnob, odd child.
