How are we supposed to know that you weren't really asking about the world prime minister?<br /><br />I will have a think about it and let you know the answer in a day or two. I am bit tired from sailing right now.<br /><br />But the way "its" is a possessive pronoun meaning "belonging to it." Is that the word you meant to use twice in your comment?Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-53122435502010224842013-03-06T21:02:12.503+00:002013-03-06T21:02:12.503+00:00I am a mathematician: we are allowed to get the od...I am a mathematician: we are allowed to get the odd word's spelling wrong.<br /><br />Particularly when its late and its been a long day with a world premiere in it.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475536270807856327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-27681880874772746972013-03-06T00:34:34.170+00:002013-03-06T00:34:34.170+00:00World premier?

Who appointed him or her? The United Nations? <br /><br />Clearly I have not been keeping up with the news.Tillermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639738519386820997noreply@blogger.com
