Hey, Mister wofahulicodoc, you forgot "Prime Minister". smile

Yes I did, didn't I. Too much of the Purloined Letter; I didn't see it!

And can you give us a clue to help us answer your onnicle about the "silly old Bear and baby marsupial"? confused

The clue is exactly your Silly Old Bear quotation.

My onnicle was probably triggered by mention of Winston Churchill. I might add that it has nothing to do with the Elephant's Child and his Great Grey-Green Greasy Limpopo. Oh, wait, that's the wrong British author, isn't it. But in any case, the question is to identify Silly Old Bear, and go from there. (Don't look too hard; It is rather minimalist...)
