Hi Stephanie, Ritva: I'm sorry, but I really don't know where all these "should confirms" are coming from! It sounds the sort of thing that the French might well do, but I have to admit that I've never come across it before. In fact, the more I look at it, the less and less sense the sentence in question is making. "La présence de ces noms confirmèrent la traby Hermione - Ancient History
Hi Ritva, Well, I hesitate to argue with someone who translates this language all day for a living! There were many niceties of the French language that constantly eluded me, and, alas, continue to elude me still ... maybe this is one more. Left to my own devices, I'd have translated it as "confirmed" or "corroborated" ...by Hermione - Ancient History

Seems OK to me ... confirmèrent has been translated correctly. I suppose one might quibble that "pareille" really means "the same as" rather than "similar"; but, apart from that, it seems accurate enough.by Hermione - Ancient History

I think this is much more Pete's area than mine! I did find a listing for "In search of the Picts : a Celtic Dark Age nation" / Elizabeth Sutherland ; illustrated by Tom E. Gray; London : Constable, 1994 (1995 ); however, I haven't read it myself.by Hermione - Ancient History
I grew up with a fear of spiders; my terrified mother made sure that any that came into our house were promptly despatched to the Great Spider-Nest in the Sky. My husband, however, doesn't like killing anything if it can be avoided, and I've gradually got used to spiders now. We get one or two big harvest-spiders in the autumn - I think they might be the same as the hunter-spiders tby Hermione - Coffee Shop

Hi Laura, Well: judging from the reviews of the site, I don't think you're going to hear back from them. What's beyond dispute is that somebody, somewhere has stolen property - the credits in the computer site - that were your daughter's property. Beyond that, I have no idea what the legal situation is ... it might possibly be worth giving the Office of Fair Trading a rinby Hermione - Coffee Shop
