From top left : Purple Dragon, Mrs Broccoli, Mini-Me The Skelington, Captain Carrot, Penelope Puppy. Next down : shall we say Kev Koala sniffing the butt of Simon Shark which is in turn harassing Pink Pig and Funny Bunny. Next down : I wouldn't know anyone of them from a bar of soap, they just came along for the photo shoot. But of interest they are all looking at the back of my head. The rest is heavy earth moving equipment either side and AlphaBettyCaterpillar around the neck.
My Significant Other's only comment was merely 'how many signatures is it for a Section 10*?' What a strange question. I have no idea what prompted that. She really should stay on-topic better IMHO.
Cheers, Mike.

I only ask because it truly is the finest test of disbelief I think I have ever come across.

I can't help noticing that A: you did not actually stop there; and B: that you did not respond in the slightest to my deductions about your mystery person.

As I have already mentioned, it is believed I am related to the US Presidents Adams. We also speculate on the presence of royal blood in our lineage, but it would predate Victoria, since my emigrant ancestor made the voyage under the reign of Charles II.

Speaking of chemical names. Did any of you hear about the uproar down in I believe it was Florida? I guess some radio station spoofed a chemical spill and reported there had been a large spill of "dihydrogen monoxide" and scared a lot of people.
