The flowers then? I don't think its the winds, but I guess there are various "dialects".

We play a version which my parents-in-law learned when they lived in East Africa. All sorts of special hands, like knitting and windy chow etc. It's a great way to spend an evening.

Winds it is..... Considering all the regions that play it the text varies a lot. It was a lot more popular in the UK and western regions in the early 1900's.

My turn then? Let's try a variation...

Predict the score (and the scorers) in the Germany - Turkey EURO2008 semi-final which kicks off an hour from now. Closest prediction wins.

As the only entrant, you were always in with a chance tres. It was 3-2 so you probably would have won anyway!

Your serve.

It's much harder to set the questions than to answer them. Hence the score prediction cop-out.
