Eyes are the window to the soul, you know.And if they have blue eyes then they are telling the truth (or who cares if they are telling the truth) ...I don't go for all this sentimental hogwash. What if the person has had his eyes removed?What if he's lost his hands? Or had them removed, as is the wont of some countries!

Quote from: The Peepmaster on January 19, 2008, 01:27:45 PMNo, it actually is short for "Tarquin, his having to make an appointment". I hate to agree with Mince. :I have not seen that structure before. You seem to have placed the gerund in apposition to Tarquin, which to me seems wrong. So as much as you agree with me, I have to disagree with you.How would you rewrite (in your structure) this one?I hate Peepmaster's thinking he knows the right answer.

I hate his, (Peepmaster's), thinking he knows the right answer.
Glad you watch a great game Roger
