htings your mum mispronounces

My dad insists on saying Sci Fi rather than Si Fi (to mean Science fiction)
and Bono pronounced as in Bone o when talking about U2 - has done for 20 years

No its Toaster

Is it like toaster? But how do you pronounce Roisin and Niamh then? No idea, but fortunatley I haven't come across them otherwise I'd have made a fool of myself!

"Toaster"?

What other way could it be??????

Think Niamh is pronounced "Neeve"?

Niamh is "Neeve" and Roisin is "Rosheen" apparently!!! Irish names though, nice but strange!!!

Rosheen for roisin.

yes - it's pronounced "toaster" -

Oh xpost, Just read your other post BBB, glad everything is OK again now.

Not sure about Roisin. I never knew how to pronounce Siobhan for the first 20 years of my life!

Lol at Toaster, how strange!!!

Neeve!!!How do you get that from Niamh!! Wierd!! Is that for a boy or girl? Sorry about my ignorance here

Me neither, her from Bananarama was called "Seeoban" all through my teenage years!!! Luckily everyone thought the same where we lived!!!!

Thank you PC! I'm always happy to have a new one!

Girls names Albert!!! Is Albert a girl's name whilst we are on the subject???

Lol at lap top dancers!!!

Yes, actually I'm female and quite girly really!
Talking about strange Irish name when Sinead O'Connor had her first song DH who couldn't speak very good English at the time resorted to calling her Skinnyhead, which was quite appropriate.

Oh sorry Albert - only joking

DD calls people with short hair "skinnyhead"!!!

lolol

The first time I saw neil kinnocks name in print, i thought it said neil knicknock, which I still thing is more apt. I was 12 by the way.
