: always good to get an "extravaganza" (or "bonanza") in there; also some good ideas there on rephrasing / Perhaps you'd care to refresh my cranberry-juice-pickled brain?/ Oh yes (titter). But the overlooking of your "troglodyte sauna" was a travesty!

I have very fond memories of that time you took the points with 'extravaganza'. Unfortunately the concept of a 'bonanza sauna' didn't catch on with the general public. // http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1073355 and http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1217571

: companies indeed sometimes hold A sports day, but "sports days" as such is not a common term for a single event

I must say I like Stephen's "sports festival", maybe that's preferable to "sports days".
