I would've asked her why Texas, but we both got distracted from our conversation and we never hooked up again.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-90697176206774714662017-10-10T03:40:53.085-07:002017-10-10T03:40:53.085-07:00I'm intrigued by that London woman, wondering ...I'm intrigued by that London woman, wondering what she was doing in your neck of the woods. It's a very small world. Yes, some English names have some unexpected pronunciations and yes, the Welsh are in a class of thir own. I really do hope you make it over here some day. Great fun anticipated observing your mounting frustration and no doubt amusement. <br /><br />And God forbid you ever become a mute :)Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-80807881162510950682017-10-08T19:03:04.950-07:002017-10-08T19:03:04.950-07:00I'm sure I sounded no better when I was talkin...I'm sure I sounded no better when I was talking to a young woman at a party. She was from London and I was telling her about you and where you lived. When I tried to say Monmouth, my mouth got twisted and I couldn't get the word out.<br /><br />I do think British names can be a mouthful even if they only have two syllables. <br /><br />She laughed and said it's even worse in Welsh. Most likely I shall be a mute if I travel through the UK and simply sign and point my way around.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
