It does lack my personal favourite: a gloom of goffs!

Ok, this is my last attempt: a hindrance of trumbles?

Doesn't sound as forward-looking as our Oolite

"The night watchman in the quarries above Oolite, Bill Dick Greer"..."he was like most residents of Oolite who often had monikers that described them or some part of their personality."

I can just see ol' William Richard "Sooty" Greer hold up on that rock reading the Hermit Almanac.

There's also a Oolite Rd. in Bath. It's the name for a type of limestone used there, known as Bath Stone.

Welcome Porksmuggler - I found Oolite Road sometime ago - I have friends from Bath - there's a link I posted to the google maps page somewhere deep, deep, deep in the caverns of old posts on this forum.

Oh, and "Welcome to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat"(tm)

Considering that Trumbles were supposed to be Tribbles from Star Trek, I have visions of the original ST:TOS episode where the tribbles get into the grain stores of a station, and we ended up with millions of them.

Surely the correct term is simply, a plague of Trumbles?

I like "A plague of Trumbles".

Ah well, plague did cross my mind, but I thought it might be a bit dark for Oolite, I considered a draught of trumbles just to relate them to the effect they would cause but again there's nothing amusing about it.
I rather liked 'tumble' because thats how I imagine them moving in large clusters, falling over each other in a multicoloured surge to get to the food.
Surge is a good visual word too
