I'm not sure what to make of this. Donal is not "clairvoyant" but simply used
a quite standard way of transferring a surname, here "Yost", into some other
form. I have 'friends' who think it charming to call me 'Do' - I try not to
take offence. I really hope this post is some kind of joke, but if not I
really do apologise.
Donal
Ps. Don't understand the "squid" reference
