in which case I'm missing the point somewhat. it's pronounced exactly as it looks it should be. what's difficult about that one?

I was cheating a bit - spent a year in Gawthorpe working for Torch & Kingston Telecoms.

When we got the telephone exchange  job for Penistone it was instantly christened Cockrock & stayed that. Thought it was really pronounced Pen-is-tone.

No attempts at the Scottish ones from you lot dahn sarf?

Just catching up and good to see even you lot don't know how to pronounce the names in yer own country.  Won't feel so bad tripping over them as I go now.

What a lovely week-end!!!  Survived girly day Thursday without any painful glitches and made my way to Cork that afternoon.  Jack landed early Friday morning and stayed until his late flight home last night.

Mary had everything set up perfect and she spoiled us rotten the whole time.  Will do a mini trip report later, but I've a few other things to get to first.

The Chezger league game starts at 9:00pm tonight on Sky Poker.  Anyone wants to join us, it's just a bit of fun for a fiver and the password is 'cardsspeak'.  DS bounty hunter and rumour has it I've an added bounty on me head for good measure in the form of a Sky card guard.  I seem to be the bounty a goodly bit these days.  People obviously think my mind is elsewhere - so an easy target.  They'd be right.  Wink
