You used to put homeless snails into air rifles, Chris...? *PETA blink*
My dear Lady you unknowingly do me a disservice :-)
In addition to the above I also give monthly standing orders to the RSPCA, and the Blue Cross. I also sponsor a donkey at the Sidmouth Sanctuary. And last but not least, I am a member of the Hunt Saboteurs.
If you knew what that lot cost per month you might be surprised. Someone said to me recently "D'ya know Chris, there are times when I believe you think animals are more important than people". I declined to comment.
Ah yes Witchetty Grubs. There is a popular TV program called "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here", and one of their highlights is the "Bush Tucker Trial". Those grubs feature regularly, but they have to eat them alive!

No, I was four at the time and also ate dog biscuits. Bone-shaped ones.
Now. Back to why we are here!
Chris... The letters in RED are the letters you have too many of...
RED PATCHY DERMO SLUG BUIS
1. So I have removed them here -> PATCHYDERMOSLUGBISyou're welcome! giving you one correctly placed letter. You would have had none otherwise and 4 left over with nothing to do and nowhere to go :)
2. LodgeChymBussPair is missing a T, David - so I have put it on the end to make: LodgeChymBussPairtyou're welcome too! :) You had three correctly placed before I did that. You have three correctly placed afterwards too. Only one isn't a vowel, and is a different one to Chris's one.
There we are :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Ah, yes, I did leave out the T. I'll have to check my notes to see if I really missed it, or it was just a typo when I typed it in.
So at this point, I know one thing definitely: the last letter is not T. A cursory glance indicates that Chris and I have no letters in common, which may be important later.
Hmm... I just noticed that the only letter there are two of is S. Can you tell us, dear lady, do they go together as I did, or are they separate as Chris did?

Suppose I had better find a new word then, David... back in a bit...

Your new jumbled word is:

Not your fault, I was spending a half hour creating that BBCode work of art* that you now see .... sniff .... never mind.
As for : PACHYDERM GUILT SOBS
Well that makes me ( regrettably ) feel like eating an elephant.
Cheers, Mike.

RE: At the moment, I am too
Okay, it's morning. I slept (more or less) much later than normal, and I am awake enough that I have written down the crying elephants.
No guesses yet, though. Not awake enough for that. Besides, to do it properly I need a fresh half sheet of paper, and I keep those at work.
