21 - Moroccan Gins
22 - The story of Yogh

Hmmm. The #19 I sent in was "Heaven- The Christian’s Blessed Hope"
Mail me the SEx one?

Aaaaggghghgggghhhhhh!
The numbering you have there, doesn't correlate to the numbers on what I have done. And also, I had sent them to Magwitch, but have forwarded some to you.
Check and advise, please!

37 1 Bobby Sands MP (1954- 1981)
Done & returned
- More hyphens
I've raised a query and It'd be nice to have an answer ready:
The piece is about Ireland - Unionists, Republicans & hunger strikes
The antepenultimate (good word, eh?) para says:
>Debate continues over the use of the site of the former Maze/Long Kesh prison, with much opposition to redevelopment projects coming from Unionists, who fear it will become a shrine to Sands and the other hunger strikers.<
Surely, such opposition would come from Republicans, who would want a shrine?
Can anyone confirm?

Ben,
Track changes: I've just re-checked and my attachments, when opened, show vertical lines in the left margins and coloured bits in the text.
I'm on a mac, using OpenOffice and Save As : Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)
(It works elsewhere)
What can I do?

When your changes are marked in colour, and with lines in the margin, that means they are tracked. 
Ben,
I'm getting dizzy. What's missing, please?

Ah, I've just re-read the relevant post and perhaps Ben was putting out a general reminder, not one pointed at me (I hope).

My head's spinning! I've not been able to get to this yet today, (migraine, drama, shopping) but will crack on with what I've got. I'll let you know if I'm still missing anything.

Ben, I was about half way through reading the GBD (amazing work, by the way) when I noticed the comment in the opening post that "It's not super-critical to get it right." Does that mean that you are not concerned about inconsistences such as the spellings of Researcher/researcher, email/e-mail/e mail, Entries/entries, the spelling of web for Web, and the odd missing pairs of commas? If so, the list will be much shorter.
Also, although I can give you you page numbers and queries, I don't think I can manage to present the changes the way your super team of proofreaders have dealt with the Entries.
Please advise whether you wish me to proceed.
