Have you ever cheated in a test or exam ?
or anything else for that matter ?

Ouch.
Yes-once. In 6th grade (age 10) we were taking a grammar/punctuation test. After the test, the teacher had us exchange papers and grade each other's answers. I was so desperate to be the top scoring student (and earn praise from my very stern, domineering father) that I erased some of my friend's correct punctuation. It did NOT feel good, even as I did it. Of course I was caught out.
Got in trouble and, worse, lost a friend.
BUT I am happy to say I always do my best to learn from my mistakes, and I have never again knowingly done anything to undermine someone else in order to promote myself.
Very valuable lesson.

What a splendid answer.
Thank you.
The difference between good people and bad people is that good people feel bad when doing bad things (though they may do them occasionally) and then learn from the experience. Bad people don't feel bad and don't learn unless severely punished.

@Yvonne G
Yesterday I posted a little minion movie clip for you. Mayby you will watch it.

Yes, I saw that. I just LOVE the minions!! Thank you.

You can play again if you wish, Sabine, but you must now choose TRUTH or DARE.

Do you mean a cold or a hot desert ?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Do you mean a cold or a hot desert ?

Either.
Both.

 

[Yvonne G]

And, Yvonne, TRUTH, DARE or TORTOISE ?

TORTOISE! (Since my memory isn't good enough to answer any questions about the past)

I think I remember some tales of tortoise error before you came to TFO, but please tell us something that you do, or have done, to a tortoise that would be frowned upon by some on the forum.

From my point of view... Hmmm. That's difficult. I went to a staid grammar school and all my male teachers were ancient or not good looking. Mr Paisley who taught economics, which I didn't study, or Mr Moseley who taught woodwork and metalwork, which only the boys could do, were considered among the best. Not a patch on Tom K who was a couple of years older than me and fancied by most of the girls in the school.

Miss Baker who taught Geography had most of the boys in love with her. My Mum once commented that at Parents' Evening she always seemed to have more Dads than Mums queueing to see her.

im mr paisley!

It's a case of do as I say, not as I do. I mix species. When I have a bunch of baby tortoises (and box turtles), it's much easier to keep them all in the same enclosure

Would that be the Sahara? And is Antarctica classed as a cold desert?

This one's pretty large. . . I'm not sure if it's s'posed to be a donut or what:
