"...that the squirrels of happiness bring there winter bounty to your front door." - this from Gary Lightbody, of Snow Patrol fame, on the band's website. Their, Gary 'their winter bounty'. It just goes to show that even if you go to school in Bangor, you still have to have a little think about your spelling and grammar. Especially if you're publishing it!
Which reminds me of the worst pet grammar mistake of mine - the amount of printed material, including for some reputable shops, who put apostrophes in plurals. The likes of Ad's for free, hundreds of item's reduced, price's slashed, Mum's dreaming of a quiet christmas, just like the one's she used to know (written on a baby t-shirt in Next, when I joked about it to my work colleagues they said have you done your GCSE English then, and this was when the whole realisation came out that they thought I was sixteen, and I was in fact 21 - oops!)
Anyway enough of that. I would just like to point out that the above error does in no way deplete my appreciation of SP's music (note the correct use of appostrophe), they still rock!

Hello Laura - I am not sure that the Daniel 1 man actually exists but it is good to have high standards - good for you!! Piece of advice - just work on your relationship with the Lord and everything else will fall into place - in His way and in His time. Heard that before I'm sure but it's worth repeating.
Who is this? I have my suspicions but am just confused because you posted this comment on a different post!!! But thanks for the advice, it is good advice and I know you're right! However if you're of the male species I would just like to point out that the Proverbs 31 Woman doesn't exist either, just in case you're holding out for her!
