OOooh, another to nit-pick Very Happy . Good entry,

Lordy wrote:
The Holy Grail. Le Saint Graal. Il Santo Grail. Der Heilige Gral. Known through-out the civilised world this sacred artefact has been the talk of men for centuries.

Entry the First
Today I set off for Castle Corenic, near the town of Llangollen. The Grail Castle is now deserted, but I believe I may discover the whereabouts of the Grail by searching through the empty corridors and hidden passages ways all castles are warrant to hold. I shall leave my servants and esquires in Alnwick Castle, to prepare to sent word of my success when I return.

Entry the Third
We should arrive within two days, any other misfortune forewidth.

Entry the Four

Entry the Fifth
Today a horrible sight met our eyes. We came abreast of a hill, and saw before us the bodies of three peasants crucified upside down before us. (omit, redundant)

Entry the Tenth
He had been eviscerated by a being of incredible force, his chest bared open. And…his heart…removed. In panic I fled from the room in panic (omit, redundant), David close on my heels.

Entry the Eleventh
This is the first chance I’ve had to write done my thoughts, and it is fitting that it is under an image of God.

Nope, not recently. Probably a bad case of the RLs has gotten him down.

Or leave it like that, which would be the best outcome for you.

There do seem to be less voters this month though...

I don't think it will swing so much at the last minute. But then again, I have been wrong* before.

I hope that was nothing to do with my birthday - a Darth Vader experience is not what I'm looking for.
