ris said:which monk is attributed with being the man who began the gothic style and which french monastery was his great achievement?
i know my field is a bit specialised so i'll understand if it comes to hints early on
Heh. Did he ever write any theological or philosophical tracts?

ok, the monstary where attributed to being the home of the gothic is now largely destroyed, it was the burial place of the capetian kings. it shares its name with the new french national football stadium on the outskirts of paris.
as for the monk he wrote this as he rebuilt the great carolingan church:
'once the new rear part is joined to the part in front
the church shines with its middle part brightened
for bright is theat which is brightly coupled with the bright
and bright is the noble edifice which is pervaded by the new light'
his name is the sweetest thing

Oh, the second! I misread 
I'd have another kick but then I would have to post another question and I'm out of ideas

Come on you guys surely you must know the second most bloody battle in your civil war. ?(
I'll give you a clue:
Chancellorsville, Antietam, Chickamauga or Bull Run?
Sorry. I'm familiar with the history, but I don't have them ranked by nubmers of casualties. I remembered that the Wilderness battle was particularly nasty because of the fire that broke out and burned the wounded. That's why I picked it.
Let me see... using your hint, I guess I would pick Antietam. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Bull Run, because the Yanks were running too fast for many of them to get killed in that one.

Sorry ris but you're wrong.ris said:chancellorsville, just so i'm in
good try though.Wrong about the first, right about the second.Ards said:
Only one left that it can be...
Sorry it took me so long to answer but I've been researching mobos and their availability and prices for my upgrade after christmas. I f nothing changes it's a choice between the Abit KX7-333 or the MSI KT3 Ultra 2, I've found both for around £70 - £72, both support DDR333, up to 2600+ processors, etc. I was also looking for a case with a 400W PSU but I've decided I didn't like any of the ones I can afford for now so I've just gone for a change of PSU in my present case - maybe (I do like the I-TEE but it's £90 and I'm trying to stick to under £180 for the moment by using my present cpu and then upgrading that a little later). Not decided on the heatsink yet but I want a good one.
