Very good indeed. Ok, those are anagrams. What do you call it when you make a sentence with words starting with each letter of a word. e.g. LUFTHANSA = Let us (ahem) fondle the hostesses and not say anything. or ARITHMETIC = A red indian thought he might eat tobacco in church. Apart from helping to learn spelling, we used a similar technique to remember things such as colours of the spectrum - Richard of York got boozed in Vienna = Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet.

There's a special name (can't think what it is) for something like that where the first letter of each line of a poem spell a sentence. Henry Lawson once snuck one through in the Bulletin that read "F*** all editors".

Iain,

I will just have to take your word for it that this is correct. One of my duties at work is proof reading, but this one I aint. Maybe Gumby could report back on the accuracy of it?

Well done though, you must have much time on your hands!

And I have just noticed Ashore got in before me with Madam i'm Adam.
That will teach me to read all the posts in future.
