Four. Got two unfortunate guesses on the dates, I guess. And number four is just lame. *NM* Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:10:45 PM 218 Views
So lame I can't even reply in the right place, clearly. *NM* Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:10:59 PM 244 Views

Ya know, that song seems kinda strange on reflection Isaac - 16/12/2011 08:27:14 PM 618 Views
Yeah, they do interpret it rather strangely there... but I guess grammatically it makes sense. Legolas - 16/12/2011 11:16:56 PM 521 Views
I have always considered it ambiguous, personally. Joel - 17/12/2011 01:34:46 PM 569 Views
Yeah, it was a rough one to have missed Isaac - 17/12/2011 07:52:22 PM 530 Views

Clearly you need to fresh up your Shakespeare. Legolas - 17/12/2011 04:49:32 PM 509 Views
Yes, methinks he doth protest too much. Tom - 17/12/2011 05:23:56 PM 556 Views

You obviously weren't raised Catholic Tom - 17/12/2011 05:22:51 PM 509 Views
No, but I have a good friend who is Catholic and attends a Midnight Mass seemingly every week. Joel - 17/12/2011 07:19:17 PM 529 Views
any chance your girlfriend was going to Midnight Mass with him? *NM* random thoughts - 22/12/2011 01:22:26 PM 216 Views
