Hi Billytea.

Oh, my team won today too. In proper football, that is.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Who are your team?

In the case of an 'i' it's not pronounced. (I think it is for an 'e'.)

Um, I don't think so. "Fille" (girl) is pronounced "fee", with a slight y-y wobble between the ees.

Unfortunately, the little French I ever had is very, very rusty so it may be a while before my brain digs up any other examples.

Edit: French is full of rules and exceptions to them, though, so just about anything could apply.

Yep, "ll" after "i" in French is always a "y" sound, except when it's not (ville, mille, etc.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Damn. I meant to put this at the end of my last post. Ah well, better late than never:

Oh, and Angus? Pfffft.

Meanwhile, my aerial ping-pong team (Northern Kangaroos) seem to have managed a rather heart-stopping tie. Bloody drama queens. (But, in common with the Raiders, they remain undefeated.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm now obsessed with this "fillet" thing.

t Trudy wanders off across the internet to find a French/English dictionary.

Erm, that's what I said, isnt it? That a double L after an I isn't pronounced?

OK, what in the world is aerial ping-pong.

Oh, I think I misread you, billytea. You said in front of and I read after. Sorry.
