[Amps] Several wins

[Charles Harpole]

Several Amps responders, clearly good candidates for SOC (Second Class Operators Club, only they spell it Secondclass Operators Club, with the spelling and only the spelling like FOC, Firstclass Operators Club), won the QWERTY and the "Correct as usual, King Friday" contest.
Two slogans I cant get out of my little pointed head.... the "correct King Fri" one and "Amazing Thailand" a tourist promotion slogan here... and BELIEVE ME, it is Amazing Thailand... every day, like when the motorbike zips one foot into place in front of your front bumper at 100KPH... and lives!
