Answer a Question with a Question...

[hollydolly]

would you prefer to not pay for rubbish collection ?

 

[Kaila]

Is this ragman, a British thing?

 

[hollydolly]

Have you never heard of the ragman who collected rags door to door, on a horse and cart, and who gave a goldfish in a bag of water, for a lot of clothes or a balloon, for a few old clothes... did you ever have anything like that ?

 

[Kaila]

I didn't have or see anything like that,
but could I perhaps have read a long wonderful poem about such a ragman, that might possibly be a well-known work of poetry?

 

[Rosemarie]

His full title was 'rag and bone man'. Have you seen the tv programme 'Steptoe and Son'?

 

[MarciKS]

Is Lamont gonna be home soon?

 

[Rosemarie]

Are you trying to change the subject?

 

[MarciKS]

Haven't you seen the show Sanford and son?

 

[Rosemarie]

Someone was asking about rag and bone men...Steptoe and Son was about rag and bone men. Where does Lamont fit in?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you know Lamont was the name of the son in Sandford and son, the American version of steptoe and son ?

 

[MarciKS]

Do you think he ever made his way to Elizabeth?

 

[Rosemarie]

The American version? That makes sense now. What is the rag merchant called in America?

Why was this game way back on Page 5 of the Games?

 

[Rosemarie]

Has it been some time since anyone posted on this game?

 

[Ruthanne]

Has a bird flown in the sky?

 

[mike4lorie]

Or walked Upon the Ground?

 

[Rosemarie]

Or floated on water?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you know some people can float but are unable to swim ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Don't you find floating is very relaxing?

 

[Kaila]

Why does it seem that the wild water birds
can float so much easier, and more effortlessly, and for longer periods of time, than we humans are able?

 

[Rosemarie]

Humans don't have feathers, have you ever noticed?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you say you're a very observant type of person ?

 

[mike4lorie]

Why would you ask me that?

 

[Rosemarie]

Are you noticing more sounds, now that there isn't the constant noise of traffic?

 

[hollydolly]

In the countryside there's always bird-song to be heard in the garden, do you enjoy the sound of birds...
