I have just received a test message which says "Morning. Emily wont make the conga today." from an unrecognised number. Lets analyse this:
"Morning." Yes I am with it so far as it is just gone half past eight in the morning.
"Emily". Emile, Emma, Emsk, Emmanuelle. Nope I don't think I know an Emily
"wont make the conga today" A spello for conger perhaps? Someone is making an eel but Emily refuses to do it? Yeah, she really knows her mind and we can't force her. Or maybe its the dance thing? There's a party, probably for children, or a parade and Emily, bless her, is the star turn as she kicks her legs out left and right. Oh I see a conga really was named after an eel? Actually it wasn't, it was named after Congo from the Spanish. Hah, not so clever now are you Emily!
Actually it occurs to me that this is a Dad from school telling me that his daughter (aged 5) won't be doing the Walking Bus today. This has been given a trendy new name of Kidz Conga. Well that clears that up then. As you were everyone.
