Mutterings - 2 January

This week's free word associations from Unconscious mutterings are:

1. Carwash :: Hose
2. Intuition :: Female(!)
3. Desperate :: Measures (or Dan)
4. Tears :: for Fears. Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle and its lake of tears also lurks in the background
5. Purple :: Haze (or Deep!)
6. Storage :: Facilities
7. Duct :: Tape (or Dr Who where heating ducts are always very popular)
8. System :: SYS$SYSTEM (there's a bit of VAX/VMS for you!) - also path - list of directories for the system account determining places the computer looks for executable programs - I was trying to make this clear but I expect the explanation only complicates things?
9. Cabinet :: Maker
10. Manager :: System (that's me!)
