Wow! How many times have I thanked you for your reviews Stephen?Well, I'll keep thanking you because they're totally appreciated.lol - the country is 'kind of' imaginary but the hamburgers aren't.

Thanks for the review joanna414.I was worried about the explicit parts of the story and was tossing up whether to post or not but they were integral to the plotline so I went ahead anyway. You've certainly put a smile on my face for the day.

Limericks - lol -we could post forever.
Thorn's reminded me of this one.

Thanks again Steve,Yes, the dolphins get the best treatment possible.

'The collapse of the atoms into a single quantum state is known as Bose condensation or Bose-Einstein condensation is now considered a 5th state of matter.'
- a kind of opposite to the super-heated state of plasma, condensate occurs with super-cooling.

“We must be hearing things. Perhaps you should go back to bed?”
“As if that would make any difference, and Sonic's arriving in a few minutes so I couldn't.”
Calen had just amazed Wirrin and Thom with his announcement that he'd been too excited to sleep properly.
“Why is this more exciting than the Monkey Mia attack? You slept through that.”
“Did not!”
Wirrin had to laugh.
“Only because Thom nearly broke your ribs waking you up.”
“This is different. Dolphins are moving to
