Where I come from (Limey country) it's a name given to old age pensioners (that's right, they only get given it when they reach 65) and it's pronounced "Ber-nud". It's an old man's name. It'd be like Muhammad Ali being called Timothy Nutspangler. Or Iron Mike Tyson being called Paisley Michael Tyson-Bartholomew.

No, in fact, it'd be like them making out their names are pronounced differently to how they patently are. Like Tyson going "My name's pronounced My-kay".

If ever I get to build my record enough and get in shape to make my ideal weight (Bernard's, funnily enough) and take on Bernard, I'll refuse to call him Ber-Nard just to wind him up. Then I'll KO him.

Old man's name. He'll be wearing brown trousers and peeing in his pants next.

OMG, I didn't think you were THAT dumb until today, but . . .

I learned something new everyday..


"This is my back. When I run, that's all you'll see...my back."

So you're telling me all Americans (at least from Philly) pronounce it that way? I didn't realise it was an accent - I thought he was just trying to make his name sound posher.

Warped - if you don't like my threads then why don't you just....




God, I'm fired up lately. I reckon it's cos I've got a new bout coming up. Kate from down the road...
