A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' Instead of giving the ans...

G'day, Reading the article on the front page reminded me that we spent a very pleasant week at the Kookaburra Caravan Park in Busselton WA in 2007.
