    I don't mean to deflect from my outstanding question ( by outstanding I mean not yet answered. I'm really very humble) but here's an extra one for kudos:
    What is the only word that rhymes with relevance?

    I'm probably cheating with two guesses but New Australia was in South America and I think it's Paraguay or Uruguay - I always get those two mixed up

    Paraguay is correct. Interesting story of supply and demand coinciding: a group of disillusioned socialists in Australia planned to settle in Argentina, but instead Paraguay, whose male population had been decimated in the war of 1865-1870, invited them there to replenish the population. One of their leaders was Gilbert Casey, an Irishman. Most of them, while classed as Australian, were born in Europe. Many of their descendants still live in the colony, now called Nueva Londres about 140 km east of the capital Asunción.

    Nope. Big clue: think "soft".

    Fear of foam? I'm thinking like foam mattresses, it being about bed time and my nice soft squidgy memory foam awaits :D
