Do you particularly need manly games like Halo or GTA? I love the Silent Hills and Professor Laytons :)

Patrick Smith replied to Leonard's discussion What is your favorite book?"Jules Verne - Pretty much anything by him is regarded as a classic but will be easy to understand.
I love Gulliver's travels too by Jonathan Swift - it was a satire on institutions at the time.

It is…"

Patrick Smith replied to Brendan's discussion Do you use British or American English?"Incidentally in the blog posted by Steve S http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2012/07/original-pronunciation.html many of the traits considered American are actually preserved in Northern English. Only southerners say words like cahstle or…"
Patrick Smith replied to Brendan's discussion Do you use British or American English?"Bullocks are young cows. Bollocks are testicles as in the schoolyard variant of the well known nursery rhyme:
Mary had a little lamb
full of fleece and frolicks
it tripped over a garden rake
and landed on its bollocks!
Depends who I am talking to.…"

Patrick Smith replied to Jonathan Gerber's discussion Falkland Islands: Brits' views?"Aha, Tibet! and what did the governments of the world do to stop the Chinese invasion? mine included I have to add.

Patrick Smith replied to Jonathan Gerber's discussion Falkland Islands: Brits' views?"PRC? Publishing Resource Consortium, Piracy Reporting Centre?

I am a Liverpool native but I have been lucky enough to live in Barcelona, Lyon and Sheffield (all as a student) and Queensland, Australia.
Now a homeowner and proud father in Liverpool again :)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
