Sounds like some crosscontamination from Ill Bethisad: (Biam) me poz-y-fisses azur. /'bi@mi poDi'fis @'DEwr/, I'm alongside the pease now. On secound thought, that "I'm at me pease now" sounds vaguely Anglo-Irish or some country dialect of English. Padraic. ===== - Per y celles ke 'n al noef chluys feronte y vruxt la mezer; a Ddon et Dde lor gouertus, renothe y nusteor pheticièn - A Ddon ten mezer! -- Ill Bethisad -- <http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad> Come visit The World! -- <http://www.geocities.com/hawessos/> .
