Tahra thinks it's odd to have a lego wedding with two giant klickys. That is the strange part.

It's either "anything goes" or "we're too blind to notice the difference"  (blind or stupid, if they are into toys :P )

He runs a toy shop, her father was rep. for several toy companies. I think it was really a toy themed wedding, with Lego flowers, Monopoly table names, Rubick's cubes - oh and a couple of giant klickies in the hotel foyer. I'll have to check out that shop in Brecon, its only 75 miles (120 km) from me.

Of Frankish origin and related to the German word basteln which ironically can refer to making things out of paper. The famous Bastille has common origin with bastide. I like that basteln can also mean to tinker/mess with something. source: wiktionary

At first glance I thought it might refer to some other word meaning something really difficult.  ;D
