To all whose race I spoiled with my previous post. Having being a victim of such carelessless myself, I understand, and am very embarrassed. Just too e***d about the result, common sense and consideration goes out the window (no excuse). In the future I vow to wait a bit before I rush to the computer. L.S.

Several films, as far as I remember. One notable "cleaner" was Jean Reno in "La Femme Nikita". Notable only because I think Reno's great, or perhaps I like the films in which Reno has featured (Ronin, La Femme Nikita, Leon), hence the association. He had a particularly nasty cleaning job to complete in LFN. Stephen Bruce Kennewell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Nahh, he just "solved problems" in that movie. Perhaps you're confusing that role with the one he played in "Point of No Return", which was a direct remake of La Femme Nikita. In that, he played Jean Reno's character of the Cleaner... -- s i m a g e r y @ h o t m a i l . c o m

"Corps" is pronounced "kaw", Jo.

"Kaw" is "corps" with the Oz flat nasal drawl. I imagine that "Kor" must be "corps" with a North American twang. (No doubt in England it's pronounced "Cor") -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > > "Corps" is pronounced "kaw", Jo. > > It is?

Yeah...that's what I meant! In all cases the first letter is pronounced as a 'K'. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Wed, 5 Jul 2000 07:45:31 +1000, "Bruce Kennewell" > <[email hidden]> thus spoke: > > >"Kaw" is "corps" with the Oz flat nasal drawl. > >I imagine that "Kor" must be "corps" with a North American twang. > >(No doubt in England it's pronounced "Cor") > > We pronounce it the same as the UK.
