In the interests of full disclosure, not to mention common courtesy, I should point out that it was the
Saucepan Man himself who set me off on the Straight Road by repping a relatively fluffy post that he found amusing.
Poetically perfect and entirely suitable to the Downs: I made Saucie laugh, and he sent me to the Blessed Realm!
Has it been determined that 11 shinies is the end-point? Have I nothing left to strive for?
