    I had an English teacher called Mary Print (single).

    We called her other things too, she used to wear miniskirts and high boots. We moved the blackboard up two feet.

    I used to go to school with a kid named Benjamin Dover. Never got hasseled too much.
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    You said: So what is it you find so unbelievable my dear friend? I am really curious to know what your opinion on this subject is....

    Why would I need to look that up? - French is easy - learned it 20 years ago.

    C'est ne pas vrais. I am at work and I had an issue that required my attention.

    But we digress. Is it not the case that the catholic persuasion of France defines that many children are named after a saint in order that they may celebrate their saints day? Since this is celebrated more fervently than a birthday surely to give a french child a name other than that of a saint would be to deprive them of their saint's day and would be deemed a cruel act. And of course the ONLY thing you have going on at the moment is this thread therefore I must time your response to see how au fait you really are with the culture of La France

    Il y en a beaucoup des autres choses que j'ai besoin a faire, allors a bientot!

    Oh I can think of instances where it wouldn't be altogether inapropriate...

    that works a similar way in spain, although they are not as strict about it.

    I feel so very unappreciative! It took me many years to forgive my mother for naming me Edward! It could have been so much worse...

    I think I'll call her and thank her!

    Indeed. As my old man used to ask me as I struggled with my homework: "What are you finding so difficult? Even French idiots can speak French!"

    On the other subjects on the thread:

    1) I used to go to Tranmere (SuperWhiteArmy!) matches with one Richard Head and and GF of mine at Uni had a mate called Richard Shaw

    2) Chosen names for MasterD: James Arthur Ross, all family names and he now has the requisit number of initials to play cricket for England
