Something I rate very highly, but have *very* little of :-)

Any chance of a password? I can’t remember for the life of me what you said it was ages ago on Merry’s blog.

the logical bit was too cultural
the verbal bit was lexicon based rather than understanding and usage of language
it was too short to have any validation!!

I got annoyed at the nickels/dimes thing being cultural and didn’t finish it. Maybe I’ll go back.

So be as snotty as you like!! Especially as it was written for an american market, so not culture sensitive either – no idea myself on nickels and dimes.

but i do like the blogring memes!!!

And since this is read by colleagues at work occaisionally, had better look good!!

23:42 just redid it with dfferent nickle dime answers, and that was the q i got wrong. bath time!

(and no, I haven’t done it!)
