Wow, what an interesting thread...and I've learned stuff I didn't know. I thought I was pretty much up on my English culture. Ah, well.

I am totally with Bree - a man is instantly more attractive when ...

I'm starting a novel that has a character who knows how to fly aircraft. She's a young woman in her 20's and her father, who is a pilot, taught her to fly.

Hi William, Can you do the dirty work for me as far as finding my poems. All of them are from the poetry game, and there aren't many. Thanks!

how long have you been waiting? how loud are the crickets chirping? how many tumbleweeds have bounced by? let's agonize about how long we've been waiting without so much as a toot and then try to figure out what it could possibly mean--tho we'll never know till we hear. ARGH!
