Computers

Computers are great, but sometimes I think charcoal and ochre on a cave wall would be less frustrating :-)

Desk/bed

This is so clever!
Everything stays on your desk where you left it.
You would have to make your bed properly, though.

Logo

Let the quality of the product build your brand. The logo can't do that for you. The Chanel logo meant nothing when it was new. It means a lot today.

The cashless society

Apparently they're predicting cash won't exist in 10 years.
Several problems:

• Using coins to open things
• Tossing coins
• The Tooth Fairy. What will the Tooth Fairy do??? :-O

Watching people cry

I find it really uncomfortable when you're watching a documentary and the interviewee starts crying and can't carry on -  and the camera just keeps on filming.

In real life, if someone's crying you either comfort them or politely look away (depending on the circumstances and what they'd prefer). You don't just stare at them - that's rude.

Mount Sinai

Me: Why do you think the people weren't allowed to touch the mountain?
Child: Because mountains have germs?

Cloud: black sugar paper
Fire: Flourescent red/orange/yellow paper
Smoke: Purple chalk (use side not tip, and smudge)
Lightning: Yellow pipe cleaners
Letters: Gold card and star stickers
Mountain: Brown paper that came as packaging in a parcel

Printing on card

Useful tip:

If you tell your printer that you're printing on an envelope, you may be able to get away with printing on thicker card than it theoretically takes.

Do you think it's OK to lie to a printer?
