Ha! Sorry Sam... Thanks for your rambles though - maybe it was better that you didn't know it was me or perhaps you wouldn't have said some of it! Thanks to everyone else as well. I really thought it hadn't worked when I posted that, because a thing came up saying that the server was down. Consequently I didn't come back to look until Emma (Jezebel) sent me an accusing text message asking what I was doing here!

I've realised one thing that I should have rephrased - I sort of included some 'cool' English slang there. 'Sad' apparently means 'uncool' here. I forgot it doesn't in America. Am idiot. Sorry if the statement 'folk is sad' seemed odd to anyone - but then again, it sort of made sense in some ways.

And - um - no, Bobert, I'm not an old hippie folk singer. I'm twenty one, a 'she' and I play the fiddle. Well, viola, if I'm honest...

Thanks to everyone who commented or posted links to other threads - v. useful.
