i totally had to look up both torsion and nadir (thank you Dictionary.com) but i'm putting that down to a) i've had the flu for the past two days and b) that drinking extremely potent organic Argentinian red wine last night (try saying that with a hangover!) would cure me of aforementioned flu. it didn't:(
