    I really, really like number 5! I’ll have to find ways to use that phrase in real life… Tiddley-hoy!

    mwaahaahaahaahaaaaa!

    I would also like to submit, for your approval, a variation on number 2:

    “Tickle tackle”

    Ciao for now!
    Happy TT!

    Hubby calls his his “unit”…..too much time around machinery maybe?

    You could also do a historical list – names from the Victorian era or? That would be fun!

    Okay, that does it. Your writing job is cooler than MY writing job. (I’m trying to sneak out to see the Michael Jackson movie. Doesn’t look promising and I’m bummed.)

    Hmm, these sound Kiwi to me, and wedding tackle sounds a bit Aussie. I bet it was fun doing the reseach.

    Happy TT.
