If there are any trifles left over in your swag, I'd be glad to take them off your hands...no, not "trifle" as in "something of little importance". I mean "trifle" as in sponge cake, sherry, jelly, sherry, custard, sherry and whipped cream and sherry.

Damn Patricia, it is! I wish she wouldn't keep uploading more and more books to MR that I'll download and never get to read. Damn Patricia!

the second birthday honour goes to Alexander Turcic for all the hard work he puts into this site and for letting us run wild in such a pleasant and charming atmosphere. Sir Alex will recieve the Order of the Clavier (for Unimpeachable Kindness, Good Humour and, obviously, Well-Temperedness).

Clavier? What's that then? Sounds a bit oo-er to me, like a naughty body part or something. "I ran the tip of my tongue slowly down her clavier" type thing. Hey, did it just get warmer in here?

All the mods also receive knighthoods for Innumerable Services Rendered and Valour.

In honour, I'm going to call all of them "Valourie", especially the Good Professor Wood (a.k.a. Valerie).

The entire Ministry receives the Silver Star of Absurditatum Splendidum (or whatever "splendid absurdity" would be in latin).

The Goodies,I'd be happy to be an OBE — best of all, an Earl and an OBE (then I'd be an earlobe).
Cheers,
