Thinking back to the Hitchcock film 'The Birds', definitely!
Or are you linking 'fright' with 'scare'?

You've got to stop doing this, teejay.
People in Lanzarote airport are beginning to wonder about this strange Englishman sporting an equally strange grin.
Thanks!

I was expecting something cute for kittens. On the other hand some might not be enamoured by them.

So possibly 'A piddle of kittens'..................(expect Annie to join in here!)

Or perhaps..................................

Where's Charlie when you need him?

Colin ???

How about a topical one:-

'A ............... of storms'

or

'A................ of hurricanes '

Anyone?

Colin ???

 

[teejay]

Can only be an alphabet of storms Colin! As for hurricanes-nothing but either a squadron or a flight group captain! (dont forget to duck!)

As usual I hadn't thought along your lines, teejay!
I was expecting a blow of storms or possibly a drench of storms or......

And a howl of hurricanes or ..........

BTW, De Havilland had their factory close by here in Hatfield and what was the old Hatfield Poly used to major in aviation related courses of one sort or another. Hatfield Poly was absorbed into The Uni of Herts and the factory and airstrip is now industrial park and, of course, The Uni of Herts. All before my time here but it's fascinating to talk to the few people surviving who were involved in the activities there.

Maybe a bankholidayweekend of storms Colin?
