I, too, liked the use of DORIAN. Unfortunately, it only appears in the Macquarie capitalised, and the musical sense is additionally only part of the phrase DORIAN MODE. Sorry, Mike.

Bad luck on CHAIRER, Victor; interesting that both you and Sam chose INROAD instead of ORDAIN -- I'd have been worried that only the plural form was allowed.
