From conversations with various people who entered the quiz, it seems that the toughest ones included Enya, Aswad and, of course, the mighty M/A/R/R/S — I make it nine characters including those notorious forward slashes.

Lest we forget, the first all-correct entry picked from Santa's inbox on Christmas Eve was ... (drum roll) ...

Bob Pritchard!
(special mention, apparently, to "Elisabeth who sits opposite")

If you've still got any questions or fancy doing another one of these sometime in the future, drop me a line. It's always good to get some feedback.

Now he'd bitten the bullet and gone permanent with a local publishing FIRM. Despite still being regarded as one of the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, he remained ADAM ANT he'd made the right move.

Jack, his new boss, and looking sharp in his Moss BROS suit, strode up to one of Billy's colleagues: "PHYLLIS NELSON in yet?"

"Bit early for Nelson", answered Phil, who was the SPITTING IMAGE of Hawkeye in MASH. His leather trousers, a very TIGHT FIT, and his novelty tie went some way to explaining why Phil was wanted DEAD OR ALIVE by the fashion POLICE.

"Though I notice that HOLLIES not here either...", added Nick.

Holly was very popular with all the MEN AT WORK, and was another TV lookalike. She resembled CHARLENE as played by KYLIE MINOGUE way back when in Neighbours, and wore beads and BANGLES galore.

Just then, in walked Nelson. "A-HA!", shouted Nick. "ENYA late again!"

"How many times - use my full name!", yelled Nelson.

As usual, Jack intervened: "Cut it out, U2!". Addressing both of them, he went on: "Nelson, NICK BERRY the hatchet, would you?" Everyone was well aware of Nick and Nelson's long-running TIFFANY thing could set them off. "We've got a NEW EDITION of the newsletter due by close of play, the copier's got a paper JAM, plus there's the usual month-end MADNESS. I'm liable to lose my rag, ASWAD anyone with my stress levels." Calming down a bit, he added: "And PHIL COLLINS due in a meeting with me ten minutes ago, so please point him my way."

"Sure Jack", said Phil, "if I see Colin I'll let him know."

Billy watched but was already dreaming of the canteen's lunchtime SPECIALS. No good, he thought, must find vending machine. Kit Kat? M/A/R/R/S? He headed into the corridor in a low-sugar daze as ...

... WHAM!, the fire door whacked him full in the face. Holly, her hair newly bleached, helped him up. "Hey, BLONDIE", said Billy, slowly recovering, "do you really want to hurt me?"

"Sorry", said Holly. "I might have a BAND AID, if that helps. In fact, I may need a BAND AID II!", and she burst into tears.

"Is there something I should know?", asked Billy, hoping Holly would stop her sobbing.

"It's MICHAEL JACKSON", she said.

"Micky, the boss's boy?", said Billy. "I thought he was at college with Jack's other BOY GEORGE."

"Well", answered Holly, "George got mixed up with a bad CROWD, a gang called the Bracknell Gimps, known as the BEE GEES. I started seeing Michael on the side - he said we had a real connection, you know, heart to heart and SOUL II SOUL. Anyway, George was getting suspicious, so last night I told him, GEORGE MICHAEL and me are an item. And that's when he told me that Michael's been seeing that actress friend of mine, Frankie. She's just been offered this tiny part in a big film called BLACK BOX Recorder about an air crash. BARBRA STREISAND is co-starring with MADONNA."

"Yentl and Evita?!", said Billy, confused, trying hard to keep up. "And?"

"And", explained Holly, "FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD tomorrow, flying out from the JOHN LENNON airport at Liverpool, and Michael's going with her!"

"One word for you, Holly", said Billy, soothingly. "Relax."
