And I suppose you think you did, huh? 

I need to cogitate further, but half of them are as @Cleoriff says so far... We haven't had our family argument over the rest here yet, I think I shall bring it up later to take people's minds off latest advice to teach your cats about Social Distancing (more in Coronavirus thread).

(Tune from Muppets, "Mana manaaa...")

@pgn 

One was a pure guess and I suspect wrong. They certainly weren't as easy as I thought (apart from the medical one)

[Mi-Amigo]

Good luck with your family discussion @pgn 

Look forward to your pm with your answers.
