I agree.
Robin, you can also check the Idioms in Tomisimo, as you can see here, http://www.tomisimo.org/idioms/es/pr...cion-9765.html (By the way, more contributions in the Idiom section, will always be welcome, as these are very easy to access, and to use...) (Just a plug... I mean, I couldn't miss this opportunity to get in a plug for the excellent section of Idioms...)
