My official grammar has no place for it. I have seen/heard it before for example in "The Curse Of Millhaven" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JzqRIdZ8Rk>, ok, on the CD "Murder Ballads", nice, but not for the faint(a)heart. I once asked a colleage who spoke (spake upon me?) Queen's English but he couldn't explain it really. a-wonderin' , Gerhard
