The Little Oxford Dictionary. Odd sort of book type thing, printed on that paper stuff.

That said, I had a re-read and the the way they cram in the derivations (it is the Little one after all) is a little confusing (hence the way I posted) and the brackety add on bit they show for ti is clearly an alternate to to and not an add on as some idiots might think :oops:

Maybe finally going to bed at 05:50 am after battling with someone else's obscure cgi scripts doesn't help either :twisted:

I did not mean to sound impolite, nor suggest you needed a bigger diction. :wink:
Apologies.

I'm going to devlop a complex in here, people keep apologising to me 8O

You were right and I was happily calling myself a prat for posting rubbish.

Still, I suppose its better than the 'War & Peace' mail that erupted from 3 members who were warned out my chatroom for going smutty. Yes, it was a policied family area, all they had to do was step out.

Behave and be nice. Love it. Could be an HG car sticker :D

It's in the lane which runs between Alexandras the uniform place and the original shoe shop, that sign is on the side of the shoe shop.
