    We-e-ell, again, y'see, they tell you it's got leeks in it. But that means the cook has put leeks in it, doesn't it? And we all know about cooks and leaks and soup, don't we? :eek:

    But anyway, you're near enough right, Al. Your go.

    its an 'internal' disk operating sytem command from the kernel, as opposed to an external command, or extrados.

    Sorry to throw a 'curveball'

    I think that it is an internal curve. so for brickwork it must be the inside face of a curved wall?

    It's the inside curve of an arch. An extrados is the outside curve of an arch.

    Actually, and on second thoughts, HRH was right after all. But since he didn't also mention that Trumpers is the name of the royal barbershop, he'll have to miss a turn.

    Instead, here's an easier one.

    Which designer of darkside gear had a name that sounds like a fish? (If you want to take the honours let's have his first name too and his connection with the darkside. And no, it wasn't Darth Prawn).

    On this, the day the third test commences, why oh why are you talking about hand planes?

    Surely all questions today should have "Rodney Marsh" as their answer?

    (Unless they are about Liz Ellis of course )

    OK, I choose to give my question in the form of a cryptic crossword clue:

    A reinforced joint keeps in a damp and soggy place.
