Great series of events Derbhile. Thanks for info about the Henshaw competition - I'd never heard of it.
I LOVE 'bedwrangled'!!! There are so many possible interpretations it deserves to be a permanent part of the lexicon!
As for 'having the chats', that's what I do every time I walk the dog, there is a regular series of other dog walkers whom I meet and stop to chat with. I come home happy from having had the chats! Although my late lamented dog, Percy, objected to my spending more than three minutes chatting!! The new fellow doesn't mind at all, as long as the other chatterbox admires him!

Thanks as always, Aisling. Yes, I felt this teacher stumbled upon a brilliant word. I said to her I loved the word when she said it.
Dogs are a great excuse to 'have the chats.,' though I agree with your late, beloved Percy - short and sweet is the way to go.
