J/k by the way. I don't want him showing up at my door with a machette or something (That would tend to suck, unless he's like 2ft tall... I'd better shut up befor I start ranting again.)
There said it now, so don't laugh. I got the Norman part from my late grandad who fought in the war in places like Sudan, Egypt and Italy. He also ran a shop in Rochdale, selling newspapers and the like. There my Dad was brought up (with his late twin Bill), and then afetr a bit he had me. And decided to give Norman as my middle.
It doesn't sound any cooler when I explain it, but never mind.
P.S - Jon:
'Ryo

Ryoko
Chen
zung
xian
wong
kai
chai'
Aren't the names Xian, Wong, Chai and Zung Chinese names? And there's you, banging on about 'oh and don't say it was a simple mistake, any jap student damn well knows that KO goes at the end of the name, if you do not use it is considered a form of disrespect!'
When you are there yourself, calling them Japs... it just seems a bit out of place. From my experience (mainly Japanese RPG end credits) most first names seem to have more than 1 syllable, and sound like car names. And both our Japanese teachers at school have had names with both words containing 2-3 syllables.
The only one I can remember though was Yukiko Yamada, and she taught me this...
ichi
nee
san
shi
go
roku
nana
hachi
qui
ji!
I think this thread (or is it just the sober people?) is weird
"If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution."

this place sucks but don't tell anyone, it's our little secret, ok?
