May the Lord bless this post.

I remember when they had Jenas' gran was on TV she was genuinely upset about people mis-pronouncing his surname. It was back when he played for Newcastle, it's taken people a while to get it sorted."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

My favourite is still Luith Garthia.On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang!
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Ning Nang Nong!
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning!
Trees go Ping!
Nong Ning Nang!
The mice go clang!
What a noisy place to belong,
Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!
