Hello dxb (I don't think "Dex" - I think "Dixbie"!) -

thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them. I found it hard to weed out any but a few fell by the wayside as being, um, unworthy, I guess! (One was a single word, which I am now going to reveal: a friend was talking about long, dull bits of movies, and got tripped up over his tongue and called one such instance a "dulbulbit" - I loved it so there it is in my commonplace book!)

I hoped people might just like a browse through and find something here and there to interest them....It's nice to know someone did that.

and I like the mosquito quote....! (and the Jane quote - the precursor, perhaps, to the "If you're rich, I'm single" bumper sticker of modern times?! but so much more elegantly put!)
