spookyeviloneI got a call from a young man with a thick Irish brogue today. He scored points for having said thick, Irish brogue.
He promptly lost them by telling me that I'm pronouncing my first name incorrectly. Irked, I snippily informed him that no, I bloody well wasn't.
"Ah, lass, but ye see, I know ye are - yer name's Irish!" he crowed.
Deadpan, my response was, "No, it's Welsh. It's spelled with eleven letters and contains two L's and a Y."
And then there was a tragic accident with the handset and oops, I hung up on him.
