and one especially for PsyduckPE ...an aspiring cynic

Thanks a lot everyone! I'll be adding them in as soon as my mocks are over (Monday evening) or if I have spare time before then.

Well, that didn't happen. But I've added some now and I may add some of that long list of Scottobear's later. Sorry 'bout the six week delay!

Just one more, in case you didn't already have enough to do

My all-time number One favourite...

Government Initiatives.

That just cracks me up, everytime.

Happy listing!

Cheers,
Celt

Marital harmony
