hmmm, everlasting secret family?
well spotted and I am glad your reading of the piece was rewarded with a guffaw, as I would not have got through the first para.

Whoopsie.
There's a dynasty I don't wish to think about.
More fun with Tony!
Our cup overfloweth...

Hey, I really like "croginp". I think I'm gonna absorb more of this excellent plonk liberated from work and write me a flarf poem using word captchas.
