I tried to post this yesterday, but everything went a bit bizarre... so a little later than intended, here's 15 more anagrams to put your minds to.

It's been a while, so they're not too taxing, and most should be quite easy once you sort out the theme.

1. I (A G.I.) FIND KEYS FOR PANDORA'S BOX

2. MA KEPT KOREAN

3. CABBAGE - LURID TRUTH!

4. ROD BIT LIP

5. HARRY? DIABOLIST!

6. FIREARMS UNBOUNDED

7. Q. WHY? A. HE NUDE!

8. PROHIBIT OFFENDERS

9. UNWELL? I ONLY DRIBBLED!

10. T. BACH WALKS, LIMPING

11. ME DRILL RIB

12. PERKIER ALBINO MAGPIES

13. ACE WORKSHOP

14. DECRY ARBITERS

15. COOLEST PERK

See, I told you it was easy!

5 down, 10 to go, and the theme, "Vocation", should make the rest of them a piece of cake!

Anyone care to help Steve out?

Just these left, and let me remind you the theme has been correctly worked out as "Vocation" - that's not "Job", but "Vocation", although some "Vocations" are "Jobs".
