    ~I am suprised. I wouldn't have thoght the yanks would hold to well with you flattening a national hero.

    You seem to have a good grasp on how to present your work in a manner you are comfortable with. Good that.

    Hi Ali, yes I've read it again. Just as powerful second time round even though I knew what was coming this time. I'm just reading what your tutor said about it with the story fresh in mind. Will leave a comment on the thread in a min or two....
