    Montmort Lucy is 10 miles from the centre of Epernay.

    You're thinking of Villedieu les Poeles, possibly.

    Heh ;~)

    I do think women suffer as much from the media depiction of size.
    Wonder how many of those women had actually experienced something
    along the lines of their modelling? Cos once it's bounced off the neck
    of the womb a couple of times, the whole"monster cock" thing really
    loses it's appeal anywhere other than in fantasyland.
    Of course. But where's the fun in that?

    [1] Yes, yes, yes, I'm trying to think of a context where you wouldn't
    use "slower" and can't, but I'm sure there is one.

    I was in "Cooking: The Books" in Montpelier this afternoon, when I saw a
    book that made me think of you.

    "Knife Skills"

    No they're not. The verb refers to the pronoun 'none', and
    not to the pronoun 'them'. It is thus a singular verb which
    must follow.

    So for something that is infinitely divisible, but is commonly quoted
    in integers (speed for example), do you use less or fewer? [1][/QUOTE]

    Just like most 'difficult' aspects of English, it's really quite simple
    (possessive of 'it', agreement of pronoun and verb for 'none', absence
    of apostrophes for plurals etc...). If you can count it, i.e. count the
    individual elements, it's 'fewer'. If you can't, it's 'less'.

    'less sugar' (you can't count sugar), but 'fewer grains of sugar' (you
    can count the individual grains). 'less speed' (you can't count
    individual 'speeds'), but 'fewer miles per hour' (you can count the
    indivudual miles per hour).

    HTH.
