 I loved the story nice one!  
 Your title ( A Fascinating Story) reminded me of an old joke. 
 A teacher asks a young schoolboy to give him a sentence with the word " fascinate" in it. 
 He replied " I bought a new coat at the weekend, it had nine buttons on it but i could only fasten eight" ha ha lol</description></item><item><title>Re: A Fascinating Story!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AFascinatingStory/2/bwjmv/Post.htm#176134</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2009 15:16:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:176134</guid><dc:creator>Dj Bueno</dc:creator><slash:comments>8</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AFascinatingStory/2/bwjmv/Post.htm#176134</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments15-176134.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>I'm glad to hear that you liked it..</description></item><item><title>Re: A Fascinating Story!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AFascinatingStory/2/bwjmv/Post.htm#175909</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Mar 2009 15:16:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:175909</guid><dc:creator>Tearsofjoy</dc:creator><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/AFascinatingStory/2/bwjmv/Post.htm#175909</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments15-175909.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Really cool story, Dj!
