But, I'm guessing this is open to men only, since the challenge is to Philip's primacy here?

Have a good go at it, boys!

I'm in like Flynn. BTW, I have it on authority from the man himself (as well as Wikipedia Smile) that Mr. Cleese's surname should sound like Cheese, not Clease. Apparently his family name was originally Cheese but it was changed to avoid silly puns.

It has to be said that Mary's read could hit perfection if done in a proper paid session, just needed more time than the project was worth - A true delight nonetheless.
