(bloody soap suds in the bonnet vents!!!!!)

Did you move the car/stop it, move the car/stop it several times? If the engine is subjected to this then one plug can 'flood' and create a misfire until it clears when the engine is run continuously.
My A4 Audi did this, my Yaris did this but have never done this to my Stiv3 yet.
Also, those bonnet vents have water guards under them, are yours in place?

Finally, nothing is perfect, so you might just ignore it!
good luck
