Thanks very much in advance. Namnga Joined on Thu, Aug 4 2005 New Member 06

	nona the brit  +  130840 Fri, 26 Aug 05 10:15 AM 1) there is nowhere like home does make sense but the usual idiom is 'There's no place like home'. 2) Again, it makes sense, but not the usual idiom. 3) ok 4) He wants to give her a birthday present to express how grateful he is that she helped him get a good teaching position at a reputable/famous school. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
