>>>"Moore" - funny way to spell Moose.

>>No I think JJ was pointing out that the name Moose is very rare, and the closest, ironically, is Moore, being 9th most popular.

I did retire one or two. Left them stretched out a bit so they can be noticed. There are no more than there were.

>Re Lennon tag - you can spot a guy with poetic inclinations by his propensity for ignoring proper grammar in favor of counting syllables.

But the old "Teenage Kicks" lyrics I can't forgive (Although the song was John Peel's favourite of all time):

"I need her lovin' and I need it bad ..." (He hasn't even met her yet, as she's the new girl in town) /
"... and it's the best I've ever had" (????)

I think the poetic licence expired here!

If you laid all the rabbits in the world in a long line ... there'd constantly be more than what you started with.

BTW The verbs "lay" and Lie"

I lie on a bed (present)
I am lying on the bed (present cont.)
I lay on the bed (past)
I was lying on the bed (past cont.)

The hen lays an egg (present)
The hen is laying an egg. (present cont.)
The hen laid an egg (past)
The hen was laying an egg. (past cont.)

Americans say:
I lay on the bed (present)
I am llaying/lying (not sure) on the bed (present cont.)
I laid on the bed (past)
I was laying/lying (not sure) on the bed

One can, say, lay ones pyjamas (or friend) on a bed, but cannot lay intransitively :-)
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
