Very strange spotting Viv. It has some of the shape characteristics of a slime mold... ? ..now... just checking for squidgy ... aha! ..."Squidgygate refers to the pre-1990 telephone conversations between Diana, Princess of Wales and a close friend, James Gilbey, and to the controversy surrounding how those conversations were recorded. During the calls, Gilbey affectionately called Diana by the names "Squidgy" and "Squidge" ... well what do they know anyway. :-)
