    Phoned a pub 25yrs ago,asked if a mike .... was in he came to phone,we asked him if he'd put the barlady back on the phone,we asked her to ask if a Michael Hunt(said known as Mike) was soaking as it was pissing down when he left and we were coming to give him a new shirt,we pissed ourselves when she asked if Mike Hunt was wet,we had placed a microphone by phone and taped the barmaid.

    Went to school with a Paul Soal,didn't have a brother Ross Soal though,was fun when his name called out at school P Soal.Imagine R Soal.

    On the Rock Tuesday they were on about names and a guy rang up saying his boys were named red,black and blue,his name was blue as well.Said they were named after Canterbury rugby team,black and red were obvious,then had another so when he was born looked at the jersey and saw the ford logo on super 12 jersey so called him blue,the guys asked his surname,he replied Gray.

    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!
    Ok, firstly, let's just rectify your french grammar...I'll give you a break as it WAS 20 years ago after all...
    Your first sentence should be: "Ce n'est pas vrai. etc""
    And the last one: "'J'ai bien d'autres choses a faire, allors a bientot!" is a better way to say it although, the way you had the sentence was comprehensive.

    Now, your point about christianity heavily influencing the custom of naming children is quite correct. Or it used to be, up to my parents' generation...
    Nowadays, this old fashioned tradition is fast disappearing and being suplanted by the "Americanised" fascination for naming a child after some well known movie star or maybe another influencial figure...I'm not saying you are incorrect, just that your take on it is outdated.
    And never in my childhood was my saint's day ever made a big deal of...

    In regards to my delay in replying to your very interesting response, I was out 4 wheel driving all weekend, sorry!

    And as far as being au fait with the culture de France...I was born French, but it doesn't make me a specialist

    "non, rien de rien...
    Non, je ne regrette rien..."

    She was quite something, wasn't she? A very classy lady in many ways, shame she was so unhappy...unlike the message that song was trying to carry!
