"to refer it" could come from "si riferisce", and "is accomplished" would be a lousy translation of "è realizzato". -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Well, we did learn the amazing information that it takes an hour to fly from London to Edinburgh, though the _significant_ add-on of getting to the airports etc. wasn't factored into that. -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |
