  4. Okay, Matt, young bean I'll post them up. I don't know who they are but I'm guessing philosophers. I'll have to look them up.

  7. They're my favourite characters from a ridiculous movie about Busting Ghosts. I was being a little bit of a numpty. You shouldn't add them really :)

  9. So which one of you is Cleopatra?

  10. Tonto? If so then what happened to Pooh and Piglet?

  11. Hi Minx - He's Cleopatra and I'm the Sphinx, so in that sense we don't really interact as a couple. I'll put them up though for the sake of completeness.

    Absolute - I'm relieved you still have some semblance of a sense of humour after what you described in your last post. In answer to your question, I don't know what happened to Pooh and Piglet. Did one of them get eaten by the other? A good coupling nevertheless - I'll put them up.
