Enthusiastic indeed! I like the results of your alcohol free night in! Hehe. Very entertaining. I was at EDT last night and had one too many scotches :( so I am feeling slightly second hand today! And I am moving today too! Oh it will be interesting! You certainly have a fantastic range of books there; love your 'off the beaten track' choices in titles. I think I might have a hunt for some of the gems you mentioned :) Thanks!

OK, not really... I think you might be right on the fact that we could both be correct. I have always been taught under the rule of singular and plural. I'm a stickler, but I am not a stubborn ass! So if someone can come back with an answer either way, I would be interested :) God, I love Orwell....is there anyone better? Nay, me thinks not!

Though now I am too scared to write anything for fear of having the red marker applied to the screen! Sorry. :(
