Get your thinking caps on .......

Remove the first and last but I am the same
Take out my middle and still I remain.
What word am I?

What has four legs and a foot, but can’t walk
And a head but can’t talk?
 
Weeeelll done! A golden star for you :tu:

Aha! It's a table - At first I was going to say chair, then I realise they don't have "heads" :lol!:


A seven letter word containing thousands of letters?
 
Yes you can sit at the head of a table....but not the foot.
 
Get your thinking caps on folks! Here's another riddle for you all .......

What am I?
Silver tears falling down,
Nature’s clear imposter,
Sparkling, shining like a gown,
Adorn an elephant or horse,
Silver, PVC or even lead,
Bringing cheer to all around,
For such a simple thread.
What am I?
 
No idea on this one. Thinking something circuslike at the mention of horses and elephants but nothing comes to mind.
