Actually, my bonny lies over the ocean/sea.

Huh.

Thanks for the correction; didn't know that!

(Though it seems I'm not the only one misremembering the lyrics that way.)

I didn't mean it as a correction so much as a personal preference. That is to say, your bonny is over the ocean, but my bonny lies over the ocean. ;) It could very well be a regional variation -- I was very surprised to find out the other day that the version of Yankee Doodle I've been singing all my life is not the standard version (or whatever version is on Wikipedia).

Er, well, I said I wasn't going to get one because I didn't see the need, but one has been purchased for me (I discovered this via my inbox). Oh well, I suppose I can't exactly send it back...

I caved and got myself one. I've been threatening to pay since I started using lj and a permanent one seems to make much more sense. The only thing I didn't like was the "secure" webpage for the credit card stuff was only partially encrypted - not reassuring - I think it's just their footers etc but they really need to do something about it.
