    Sorry - I searched for Scottish Mustard, but they all seem to have whiskey in them, a crime of a magnitude I just cannot comprehend!

            Depends how you define first language, it is mine by birth, but I dont use it predominantly now. And as a result its suffering. I have to think sometimes when I use it because my English speling has gone to the wall, my pronounciation has gone a bit odd, and if I am not carefull I suddenly start using French. I have an English friend who has been using French, daily, for years, its even worse with him! :) And dont worry if yours sucks, English is a bastardised mixture of pig latin and pig german so it cant be any more abused than it is already.
