i like your mad experiment ideas. in fact, some of them i’ve already tried (2 & 4). i also just tried the magnet trick, but even our strongest one (a kangaroo thermometer) wouldn’t stick. any tips?

Dad's just been talking to YLD about it all. Maybe you should invest in a satellite phone or stop doing these crazy stunts. Comment from U Dave: Glad to hear you're still alive to celebrate your 26th - many, many happy returns and love from us all to you, and zoe of course. Get well soon. PS. Possible mad experiments for the future: 1. Testing how your metal leg reacts to microwaves 2. White water rafting in a tyre (but that would just be stupid) 3. Bungee jumping with a home-made bungee made from brace elastic 4. Crocodile-goading. 5. Trying to ride in a kangaroo's pouch. Dad says now you can put fridge magnets on your leg. There's a bright side to everything! Hi Tom,
