Strangely, I cannot find a collective noun for hodgehegs at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) perhaps because it was a cruel Sat. (sorry, wrong thread !). However your dad was writing down the questions wasn't he ? Just PM them over and with the help of Mr. Google we might be able to avoid lying awake at night worrying about the answers !

Thought someone might find this scenario as amusing as I did:

I've just looked up the train times for a journey to a riding school I might go and work at, arriving at 8am. The trains don't start early enough, so the suggestion of the helpful journey-planning website is this:

Get train number 1 at 11.30pm to Station A.
Wait at station A until 7am.
Get train number 2 to station B.

Total journey time: 7 hours 50 minutes.

What is the fastest way to clear an in-tray?

Knock it to the floor with the music files you hadn't got round to putting away which were on the edge of the table you bumped with your chair. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

and what's the fastest way to study a play? deny that you need to and reassure yourself that meditation in the exam-room will provide every answer you need...

what's the fastest way to get up in the morning? don't lie down at night.

I'm out of synch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I went to bed about 8 o'clock because I didn't feel very well, and I slept for about 6 hours and woke up feeling quite lively. I've just had a cooked meal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I'm glad I feel better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just thought I'd share this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

perhaps the entire world is evolving into a different type of place, where sleep patterns are unaccountably weird and we have cooked meals whenever the fancy takes us.

last night an alarm clock kept going off at twelve. it goes off every night, a few times at twelve and then at four. at twelve the local council also started mowing the grass on the pavement opposite our house.

It's very mild considering we're into winter...

Wonder if it'll snow at all before winter's out?...

We're in Autumn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Technically, Winter runs Dec 21-Mar21(or whenever the first day of spring is). Summer from Jun-Sep, Autum from Sep-Dec.

Least that's what I was always taught.
