By LC Publishing, this skill serves up a scramble of letters to sort into words which we hope will be worthy of some sizable scores. Sweet, but pen and paper definitely recommended or else it won't only be the words that get scrambled.

I've watched approximately three episodes of The Simpsons in my time so please be kind. I think I need to lie down and perhaps have a doughnut to keep up my strength.

What word goes with 'Touch' to form a pair? That one stumped me good and, er, something. Is it 'Good and paper'? No, that's not right. Oh, I give up.

Do you know the provenance of the phrase 'High and dry'? What about 'Cutting a rug'? Today's skill introduces us to a different familiar idiomatic phrase each day and unravels it's origin. Nice.

Replete with classic Gallic accordion music, this short but sweet skill provides a different French colloquialism every single day. Fantastique!

Did you know that the A-lady knows an awful lot about local businesses? It's true. She's also very obliging about calling them and even interacting with those dreaded dialpad-driven menus. That reminds me of one of Pam Ayres' poems. It's very short - it goes something like; "If you'd like to meet the person responsible for this automated menu system and shoot him with a gun, press 1." Said with a wry smile, of course.

She's back. The awesome Ashley Colburn ([email protected]) will have us all up and active with this amazing aerobic workout skill. Guys, if you want to be awesome too it's easily done. Simply send in a demo to [email protected]. It's that easy. From that point on, whatever you do, whatever you wear, whatever you say, whatever choices (or cakes) you make, will be awesome. How cool is that?
