    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    You did better than me. At the time I couldn't see the rationale between fire and sack.

    Whenever we watch a show from Britian or a movie with Irish characters, I have to turn on the closed captioning in order to understand what they say

    Took the test and did damn well on it - out of 3 tries, only got 4 wrong....Blimey!!!!

    In fact, we watched Ned Kelly (terrific movie) tonite on DVD without subtitles and didn't get but half of what was said

    When are you all gonna learn to speak "English"
    Cheers,
    Ed

    Do something that is stupid and fun today, then run like hell !!!
