I think I'll chop 2 trees with 1 axe and take the laptop to Starbucks @ the grocery store.

And I have to remember to call Microsoft. They owe me some money.

Oh, this is mean... Kirkudbright and Milngavie, anyone?
I'm sure there's at least one place in the US which isn't pronounced the way it is written, but I can't remember...

Are they supposed to be zombies? A little skinny.

I added a few vowels in there just in case you forgot I am American but please, don't confuse my west coast accent with a southern accent! :smile:

Sure just ask @Gravity Aided
he'll kick you in the nads if you pronounce the S in Illinois

And Ohioans have a funny way of pronouncing words like Lancaster (a hicktown to be sure)
they pretty much pronounce it as 1 syllable. Quite an amazing feat

Wymondham would be a good one :tongue:
It is a good one. It really confuses the out-laws. Sis-out-law calls is Wimmin-dum and when I told her its pronounced Wind-um she says that she is going to pronounce it her way because she knows the she is right and I am wrong. I told her that everyone in earshot now thinks that I am lunching with a moron.

How about Happisburgh or Tacolneston?

I have ended up in London due to work (pluses and minuses), but I would prefer to be out in the countryside, I am just glad I live only 10miles from Epping so that I have somewhere to get some peace when I want to.

Oh if I lived in England it would sooooooo be London. Me who bores easily might actually be entertained.
A few years ago I did see a house for rent reeeeeal cheap way way WAY out southeast (from London) right on the water absolutely beautiful from the pix
but apparently not even trains went there.
