• Collecting lost pet posters.
• The Inconvenience store.
• Crisp powders.
• The uncolouring book.
• An electronic sackbut.

• Underground videocassettes in Iran.

• A megatron beneath Sheffield. (Thanks Paulien!)
• A concert until 2640.
• Printing money works (sometimes).

• And old starter.
• Telling a fortune with cheese.
• A third thumb.
