(pen) I have a friend (whom I have seen recently) of 57 years' acquaintance. Is this a greater proportion of my life than 30 years is of yours? Come on, have to hurry you.

Like Rosie I have a friend that I first met at primary school, so that is also 57 years, and I am younger than Rosie.

I am 44 and married the person I sat next to in Infant School.

I seem to have missed the boat a bit, but I've stil created an advert

[FGZ] Hmm. well done on the typography etc, but really, swearing? Do you really need to?

That went over my head I'm afraid.

are sheep for sheep and fish or fishes for fish. Sheeps is only a form of a verb. Sheeps means grazes. Yes, the plural of "whim" is boring old "whims." However,there is "cacti" and "cactuses." Even more fun is that there is "octopi," "octopuses," and "octopodes." More plurals fun: rhinoceroses, rhinoceri, rhinocerotes.
