[Glanrhos]

Thanks for the explanation bibblebub it's appreciated.

[bibblebub]

you're welcome (it was late because I looked it up in a book - yes a book, not the internet)

[Kakuro1]

You had to look it up, bibble? That surprises me.

[bibblebub]

i knew that the answer was name but i wanted to get the quotation totally correct

[Kakuro1]

Oh ok. Thought a person of your calibre would have had that one off by heart. One of the more well known Shakespeare quotes.

[bibblebub]

But I always like to double check, even fairly straightforward words that I post as answers i usually look up just to be 100% certain of their meaning and when it comes to quotations you have to get them right.

I have my browser set up so that I don't even need to type them in, just highlight and right-click and thus can do this checking within a couple of seconds.
