Sight - not site.

Agreed. And who decided that 'committing oneself to' was no longer a reflexive verb? Now, people seem to "commit to a cause", instead of "committing themselves to a cause".

I'm glad somebody on here can read and can also think clearly. Now don't get me started on plurals!

Sorry, you are wrong. When "its" is used to mean 'belonging to it', an apostrophe is not correct. The apostrophe is only used for the contraction, when it's means 'it is'.

Gordon Lightfoot: The United Artists Collection. It's a 2CD set that gives you his first four albums (mid-to-late 60s) in the same order as the original LPs. (Which is great - I hate it when they mix them up and they're out of chronological order!) Lightfoot was such a great songwriter. Interesting to see his vocal style shift over the years from an expressive pop vibrato to an understated folk-country drawl. Some of the production favours overblown arrangements (by today's standards) - lots of horns and strings. But other tracks have an acoustic backing, featuring Lightfoot's own guitar playing.

Its - meaning belonging to it - does not take an apostrophe. An apostrophe is used when it's is a contraction - when it means it is.

Well, the word marquee is applied to the sign above the entrance to a cinema or theatre. The name of the film (play, or musical) and one or two of the main actors in it, are usually posted on the marquee. The star names are thought to attract film-goers, regardless of the quality of the film. By analogy, therefore, marquee players are "stars" who can draw spectators to a game, regardless of the team's quality. David Beckham is a good example of a marquee player. People will often attend MLS games in North America just to see Beckham on the field.

You mean 'unsung hero'.

Used to play him a lot on my radio show - especially B-Movie and H2O Gate Blues. Anybody heard the recent album - I'm New Here?

Dead for the last 15 mins.

Come on, Saints!

If you look at the form tables for home and away games, Saints are TOP for the last 10 games, last 12 games, last 14 games. Our away form is better than our home form (for those concerned that we have more away games ahead than home games). http://weekendfootball.co.uk/statistics/form.asp

Fantastic win. Very important that Lambert scored from open play. Merrington had particular praise for Lallana and Chamberlain. Oh, happy day!

Criticising knee-jerk, premature, and constant negativity does not make someone a happy-clappy type. It's providing reasonable and optimistic (oh! horror) balance. Following a game is a ninety-minute enterprise, believe it or not. -

Well, there are more posts because there ought to be nothing to moan about. As usual, some have jumped in prematurely with negativity that turns out to be unwarranted. Each to his own, however ... -

Well, apparently. Merrington says his confidence has been boosted tremendously by his goal. Obvious comment, I suppose. But still true.
