Steve Popham for tolerating my swim in<>sanity

Good ol' Kev for allowing me to utilise Brainiac for this typing malarkey, flying my CNS under the watchful gaze of Medusa, in her pitched battle with Queen Spider.

Mr. Walford for pronouncing Plato as above in his lectures, for I had conceived of the Playdoh Republic the night before the first lecture.

Your faithful scribe for even attempting to talk this foreign language everyone else from England appears to use quite wonderfully.

Socrates for admitting that we all talk bollards.
