    Hi, Welcome to the thread. The O's are worked out as per my signature; the other bits are as follows:-

    1 O's is a UN0..
    2 O's is a Bond (double O agent!)
    3 O's is a Typhooo
    4 O's is a Wink (40 winks)
    5 O's is a Hawaii (Hawaii 5O)
    6 O's is a Maiden (an over in cricket with no score or O score).
    7 O's - I don't care, coz my system won't hit one, so I don't want to play anymore.
    8 O's is a SPUD! (as in 8 O's Potato)

    Not a very good day, only managed 3.76 O's...:eek:...coffee.gif
