I'll just rely on a little detective work.

Oh I just have a special combination of keys I press for accents. Too complicated to go into here. 
Wanna be Velma or Daphne?
Actually I'm going to be Velma.
Well I am not yet svelte enough to be Daphne so you'd better put me down for Scooby (I think we should save the post of Shaggy for Dizz
)
OK bed time for me. Hope the rest of the bunch turn up soon 
woohoo, wireless network set up successfully (by moi - dp spent all day and i mean ALL day not setting it up
), I am on my new laptop, all is well
I fancied the blond guy on scooby so i guess i can be Daphne [weird emoticon]
Well I'll be Siobhán. It's letter + 'alt gr'
for the uninitiated.
Fab title Buckets and VG ...
A hot whiskey for you Sazzles. Then bed.
Doctor's orders.
VG - the 'ay' in 'tay' comes from the Elizabethan English settlers.
In England, the sound changed over time but in Ireland the older pronunciation remained. Which is why we have Keats and Yeats and not either 'Keets and Yeets' or 'Kates and Yates'.
Oh yes, all the fun facts are at my fingertips.
I missed your whiskey pouring as I went in to kiss him and to tell him that while he is a melodramatic knobhead, he is my favourite melodramatic knobhead.
Peace is restored .
