    For you Brits, his name is pronounced Shocknessy and not Shawnessy ok <ok> You might as well get it right from the start. The lad looks another great find. Certainly did last night

    Shocknessy? Shouldn't there be a bit of catarrh in the middle, just like when we Celts would say loch, when the english would say lock?
