   Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.

   However, I would like to point out that I didn't actually pen the Rebecca Adlington line, as I don't want to do a 'Frankie Boyle', and stymie my glittering television career before it's even begun.

   Although I perfectly understand the irritation caused by the tendency to use nouns for verbs nowadays - in my defence - if it's good enough for the OED, then it's good enough for me. ;o)

   Funny you should say that, AdrianJ - I liked your FP a lot but the Rebecca Adlington line jarred with me. It seemed a sort of ill-fitting, throwaway offensive line for no good reason, unless whoever edited it thought that the 'would' would fly over everyone's heads. Very Frankie Boyle and I don't mean that in a good way.

   In the OED-bah! That left wing rag. It's not in the 1979 Collins. Printed in the days when verbs were verbs, you knew where you were with a noun and an impact normally hurt
