pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis! Well done that woman! Air, you're spot on!

Honorificabilitudinitatibus??? hmmmm! Respectful wiring in a potato carriage?

I'll have to check my Shakespeare on that one though - I did my A Level paper on Love's Labour's Lost (honest!!! Spooky coincidence or psychic link?), but can't place exactly where!!!

I'm off to find a comeback!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

Arghhh :raspberry apart from Boustrophedon which means reading in a continual forwards and return motion (probably the easiest way to read on our eyes if we were used to it LOL) I have NO idea .......
