The custom of carrying a small bunch of flowers, called a nosegay (happy nose) arose from the fact that the female being courted would rather smell the flowers than the suitor. A ward-robe guards robes -- it's anything that holds clothes. An American closet is an English built-in wardrobe if the former holds clothes; an American armoire is an English wardrobe. An American closet is an English cupboard but only if it doesn't hold clothes. An American cabinet or cupboard is an English cabinet, but cabinets and their doors are chosen and sold separately. Some of the above may or may not be true. Sh-t, I forgot pantry! chest of drawers! (Can you tell I'm running short of storage space now that there are five humans and five animals living under my roof? That would be the real, upper roof and not an American attic ;-)) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2003 16:46:05 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas OTOTOT Festie Bashing > And yes, there have been many times I've not seen > the Bunnymen from down front either!

I guess I always feel in a 'down front' mood. :-) I like to see the musicians' faces and watch the action on the fretboard. If I've seen several shows on a given tour, sometimes I'll sit further back, but only cos I'm tired! :-) - --Amy "Blanket statements can't apply to everyone.
