      Look at the advantage... You are ill so do not have to do all the prep, but will be sufficiently recovered in 4 days time to enable you to enjoy the prezzies.

          slightly convinced... I don't do preps at all, prezzies are off the table, but I'm looking forward to :beer::cool::thumbsup: still the sniffles are annoying...

                    Sorry, but it's option two from your sig! :laugh: True, the word "virus" comes directly from Latin (for "slime" or "poison"), but not all Latin words ending in -us have -i as their plural. Besides, "viri" is the Latin word for "men" (plural of "vir", "man", the root of English "virile"). The convention for forming the plural of Latin words in English is to use the Latin plural form, or (if Latin does not actually have a plural form) to form the plural in the normal manner used for other English words. "Virus" is a second declension noun ending in -us, so it gets -es appended. Such a simple language! :laugh: (My Latin master would have had a fit to see that: he despaired of getting me to cope with "amo, amas, amat" never mind using "second declension noun" in normal conversation))

                                Interesting fact: The Geordie phrase "whey-aye", pronounced more like "Why eye" has a latin derivation, and should probably be spelled Wii - but Nintendo trademarked the name. It was originally the plural of Wus as in Wimp. So Newcastle Brown drinkers, seeing la-de-da southerners drinking their lager shandies, would shout out "whey-aye man!" meaning 'there are some wimps, old chap" This is the accusative plural, of course.

                                    I stopped drinking it when I tasted it ;) (not quite true - it's not so bad. And I'll drink pretty much anything).
