But i don't like think about it, it was no good.
My family are not large.
We live with my mother and sister.

Yeah, I'm a dork. I blame my professor who introduced me to forensical linguistics... No, in fact I can only blame myself. ;)

Date: 2009-01-16 10:47 pm (UTC)I particularly recommend 'The Vicar' (I have a large and historic organ in need of careful restoration!), because I have a mental age of thirteen in certain respects....
"I have just read the email you sent to me. Firstly, may I offer you my sincere condolences regarding your late husband’s unfortunate demise. I have heard tell that your late husband had his faults – in fact from what I have heard, it sounds as if he was a bit of a monster – but losing a loved one is never easy, all the same.
Things must have been very difficult for you after your late husband’s death, and I am saddened to hear that the current Nigerian government is still attempting to deprive you and your family of the millions that your husband stole from the state. Can they not forgive and forget, one is forced to ask oneself?
Now then, to your proposal. I have to say that I found it extremely attractive. As vicar of Saint Bodkin’s church in Gypping in the Marsh, I am currently searching for a source of funding to restore the church organ (I have the largest organ in Lincolnshire), so I could definitely put the money that you are offering me to good use."
