    What about a 'Confusion' or better still a 'MUDDLE'

    Count them and wait!
    Count them again after the picture has changed . . .

    This will drive you crazy!

    WHERE DOES THE EXTRA MAN COME FROM? don't ask me; I haven't figured it out yet, that's why I sent it to you.

  • in the spirit of collective nouns such as a murder of crows, an unkindness of ravens, and an eloquence of lawyers, i think perhaps a misgiving of bankrupts..or a destitution of bankrupts..

    I do wish there were a nicer term for the end of bankruptcy than discharge. I mean, eeeuw....

    Forgot to add my suggestion for the collective noun in the style suggested by susiehasdebts: a rue of bankrupts, as in rueful.

    I have the very word:

    "A Court of Bankrupts":D :D

    We could actually vote for who held the key posts and the rest of us would be "Courtiers of Bankruptcy".

    So, I'd want to be King Richard, because I'm above the law; only joking.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D. There could be Queen Dalip, because she's a regal sort of person, and she get to sleep with the King.:o :D

    Fermi could be the Wizard because he can always pull something out of the hat, and Phil and Bat would be Court Jesters because they've always got a little trick up their sleeve to make people laugh.

    Maybe Toon_Dave and Red could be the courting prince and princess; oh the options are endless.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Rich,

    Just to lower the tone a little what about a 'SCROTUM' of bancrupts.Cos the whole process of going BR is a bag of balls.
    However for the purpose of the th_thsmileyreadingbooks.gif a 'LIBRARY' of Bancrupts would be appropriate
    The triumph of hope over experience

  • Rich, can i apply for the post of 'wench' who gets chased around by all the men?:D

    From what i've seen a 'depression of Bankrupts' would be appropriate:rolleyes:
    or a 'bedlam of bRs' or a 'Bank' of Bankrupts.
    I like richards a 'Discharge of Brs' best though:T
