Oooh, I think harsher, potentially more Anglo-Saxon terminology may apply there!

Probably only three days a week, until things return to relative normality.  My shopping list is growing exponentially as we speak.

As for thread drift - that's the whole point of this thread.  It allows for comment and distraction so as not to clutter up the main thread.  I'm the only one allowed to talk nonsense there, here is your perogative.

What a most courteous and civilised attitude!  Thank you, I will continue to drift and distract to the best of my ability.

A Flash of Lightnings

A Swash of Buccaneers - ARCHAIC (of a person) flamboyantly swagger about or wield a sword. "he swashed about self-confidently"

1: BLUSTER, SWAGGER
2: to make violent noisy movements
3: to move with a splashing sound, to cause to splash

An expectoration of Spitfires.

[The Wooksta!]

I think a Superlative of Spitfires is far more appropriate.

A   COMPETENCE OF CANBERRAS, on the basis that no matter what task it was given, it did pretty well at it.

Shows my age in that they describe Swash as Archaic  In the days of Saturday morning pictures a Swashbuckler was quite often the main feature and we'd all come out sword fighting with any stick/branch that came to hand
