sha76- I agree that is exactly how 'myself' should be used.
In Latin, don't they have two completely different words for the two uses? From what I remember 'se' would mean 'himself' in the sentence 'He shot himself in the foot', but 'ipse' would be used to say 'he himself shot the deer'. However, I have heard it recently used so many times when the word 'me' or 'my' should have been used, in my opinion.
On the other issue, I was listening to a radio debate where they were talking about the recent incident with Prince Harry (for those who don't know a member of the UK Royal Family has recently been involved in a scuffle with a photographer) and this man, who was some sort of spokesperson for the royal family pointed out that "Prince Harry's upkeep does not come out of the taxes paid by you and I". I assume a large part of this person's job is public speaking!
