    Greenbee - how about inspire/inspiration?

    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    You know, as I wrote this last night it occurred to me that it might be what I was looking for! Thanks for confirming. First frog of the day done ... I will log on after breakfast and get my presentations sorted out. Then I have a day of researching copyright-free cake pictures and/or working out which ones I need to recreate myself over the weekend...

    Tea and cake here in Monday :)

    I like enthuse :)

    OH rather boringly came up with 'educate' which kind of misses out on the inspirational element.

    I also wanted to suggest (but could possibly be accused of winding up the editor) assimilate, bewitch, brainwash, transform, transfigure, revolutionise... Just to make the point that the preferred option of 'advocate' wasn't quite what I was aiming for :)
    Sounds like someone using a Thesaurus, but not really knowing what the alternative word meant. I think some of those doing a local paper crossword have the same problem - you look at the answer and think "no, that isn't the right word for the clue"

    I read that about Lloyds- my bank is the even bigger horse - the huge working horsey that sounds like Plydesdale :rotfl::rotfl:

    Still its nice to know we are in a better financial position that the banks - I may have some debt, but its a lot less than 3.3 bn

    Ah! The cart horse! We don't have them around here.

    My contrary brain has been composing a DFW diary for the chairman of the black horse. I always wanted to write fantasy. :cool:
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    Sun is shining here. Hopefully the bathroom work will make progress... And at least my mother can go outside today...

    Inspire............. doh, that seemed too straightforward last night I was too busy thinking of transitive and intransitive verbs :rotfl::rotfl:

    I have to promote a venue to people who want to use it to Inspire, Involve and Inform people so I think that I have a mental block with inspire.

    I have also realised lately that my spelling (or rather editing of my touch typing) is going down hill rapidly.

  • I have no internet at home for 7 days! :O

    I've had an intermittent connection fault which has been annoying me for several days... so I bit the bullet and called BT!

    After battling communication issues, she ran a line test - this showed a fault at the exchange. She said it would take a week(!!!!!) to fix. Then she warned me there was a 50/50 chance I wouldn't be able to reconnect to my internet until it was mended - and guess which half my connection has ended up in. Grr!

    If it's their fault and you need the Internet I would be asking them to temporarily provide you with a dongle? Might be worth a try.
