In reply to:
Also, I work with a Canadian woman who says "EN-velope" for the verb, too. Is that a Canadian English-ism, Bean?
Hi inuodie. I know your question was directed to Bean but as a citizen of Canadia myself, I can't help but shoot a comment your way: "EN-velope" pronounced as a verb is most assuredly not a typical Canadian English-ism. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's a verbal anomaly. There's my two bits ... cha-ching!

I gotta finish my Rocket Scientist degree firstMy word, hev - when you have your degree and have fitted rocket-power to your Subaru I will most definitely travel down-under to see you drive it!! It will be great to see the whole track enveloped in the smoke and condensation pouring out the back of your car.

I was hoping I could bluff that module. It's worked just fine everywhere else.
D'oh!

Last time I saw you, shona, I seem to remember that you were doing some interesting research on a rocket fuel from Clontarf.

research on a rocket fuel from ClontarfThat wasn't Rocket Science, Rhuby - that was Alchemy! And I'd hope to pass that module with flying colours.

You passed OK, shona, but I guess your colours were not so much flying as drooping a bit - like those of the rest of us!

Yes. Not quite what you'd expect from Rocket Fuel.
But perhaps further alchemical research is required.

Golly, aren't we glad that Mr. Frost didn't write, "Two routes diverged in a yellow wood"?

RhubyC, when I have my Rocket Science degree, and Subaru are paying me to power up their machines and drive them, I will quite happily PAY for you to come and watch me drive them. How's that for an offer...
