Word Association Thread (New)

[Cleoriff]

As the old thread has disappeared off the 'face of the earth', I've started a new thread for those of us who enjoy Off Topic.

Along the lines of the previous one, the idea is someone writes a word and the next person adds another word linked to the previous one.

I'll start us off with :
