Iceman, the word should just be 'ice'

Think Oracle was just being a bit awkward - you know!
I will take a leaf out of her book and tell her the word she searched for earlier was 'woollen' not 'woolen' :roll: :roll: and if I am not mistaken she told us that she used to correct English papers at University. God help those poor kids! :roll: :roll:
