    helpful (well kind of) english lesson –
    effect – the end result or the fallout. affect – the action or verb.
    so ‘the effects were catastrophic & they affected you greatly’.
    consider that affection can affect you but there’s no such thing as effection or it’s effects.
    mmm, actually this isn’t easy to explain is it? it makes sense to me but I’d make a rubbish teacher!!
    And, bleurgh, DiCaprio. And the reality show – great idea. Recreate the whole shebang & have the presenters have to go down with the sinking ship. I vote for Noel Edmonds to present 🙂

    1. I’ve actually never seen a Noel Edmunds-hosted show. I think I’d want to see Sir Bruce, because he could tap dance for the fish (and some of the dead people might have known his earlier work, which would be nice for them!).
      No such thing as effection. Got it. Possibly. Toime will tell. Thank you very much 🙂

      Also, I quite liked a younger DiCaprio… lthough I’ve seen two films, and he dies at the end of one of them.
