You must be in good shape

I was moseying around Picardy, France earlier this week for a work trip. This warning sign in front of a bouncy castle was my personal highlight.

Ha! I don't know what "DIMB" means, but I'm guessing they made the sign based on something someone wrote by hand with lowercase letters...? cl => d, so climb => dimb ... ? Great sign, though. :)

I want to dimb up walls too :(

Completely off topic, and just an indicator of my laziness, but can you put a link to 'Dietgirl' on the page so I don't have to type it in every time...? Oh, that looks even lazier now that I've typed it. And now you'll think 'yo, Donalda, if you can type the big old comment, surely www.dietgirl.something, don't know because the browser guesses it before I get there, is not beyond you?' True. But I had to get it off my chest.
Perhaps more on topic, I remember hearing of student parties down these 'ere parts where they would hire a couple of djs (like so one in the bedroom, maybe doing funk, and another in the living room with a trance set) and a bouncy castle at the bottom of the garden because once boozed up and bored with dancing all students want to do is bounce. Not sure if older must be careful of younger - I suspect if truly drunk on a bouncy castle all instructions are for nought. Remember thinking that the djs are not really that necessary if the drink and bouncing guaranteed.
Yours

ProTip: In the time it took to write this comment out, you could have bookmarked DG over 9000 times.

That's for normal people, surely? Donalda likes to do things the weird way round... ;-)

Oh yea, many, many, many times over could I have bookmarked it, but there used to be a link and I just clicked on that. I am a bit sad and access the sites from home, uni, friend's pcs, internet cafes, brothers' laptops, and any other media available. Could I access via clouds and damp ferrets then I probably would. Brothers, work, and probably damp ferrets don't like it when I mess with their bookmarks.
How nice to hear from The B - I am joyful that I will be able to say that the last I heard from you was on a bouncy castle thread. Boing.

I can understand lazy... hence the lack of link! but if you click on the "About the book" link to our right just here, that's a link on the DG site so you're almost there!

Ooooh, that'll do, that'll do! See! I was even too lazy to scroll down and click! Sorry! At this rate in about two years time or so, I won't be using the internet at all, and that can't be progress, surely? Many thanks Shauna!

I bet that made you want to dimb up the wall immediately.

hexagonally.

which is a very good shape.

Oh man, Gracie got in with the Bouncy Bouncy song before me - my favourite song!!!!

Older must be careful at younger. I love the missing nouns there and the questions they raise.
