KID TIPS
Poisson Rouge is a very decent website with games (in French and English) for kids - or indeed, hungover adults.
We've also just been given a CD called Sing Along with Putumayo which includes a funk-blues version of "Old Macdonald Had A Farm", and lists the wonderful Arlo Guthrie among its performers. It's the only thing we've come across so far (though I've no doubt there's lots and lots of good stuff out there, if only you know where to look) in English which rivals Henri Des, a popular French composer and performer of children's songs who gives live concerts. I can't think of an equivalent for him in English - musically accomplished and genuinely entertaining for all ages - other than the Muppets, who are as old as I am.
Anyway, feel free to check 'em out or pass 'em on with my recommendations and compliments.

I got this game link from a guy I know who runs a comics blog in Canada - the idea is you are a bored cubicle worker and can't face another pointless meeting so try to kill yourself using office equipment or by insulting co-workers. You have to top yourself within 5 mins, made me giggle. Made it with 55 seconds to spare on the third attempt (each device only does so much damage, so you need to keep moving around and trying combinations): http://www.adultswim.com/games/fiveMinutes/index.html
I wonder how long before some church group complains that this is glorifying suicide, which is a Mortal Sin??
