[B]An[/B] evening by [B]the[/B] fire in [B]a[/B] winter is better than [B]a[/B] visit [B]to[/B] cinema.

@Lord AvaLon

I agree with the use of "[B]An[/B] evening "
but "[B]to[/B] visit [B]a[/B] cinema" does not seem correct to me
I think it should be "[B]a[/B] visit [B]to[/B] cinema"

Lord AvaLon Tuesday, March 24, 2009 11:32 PM

@ Mohsin

All of us agreed on that, you are right :)
