So Terry, Billy, and Murray don't need to worry but Cicero..................? :nerd: Not to mention a few other nomenclaturely challenged members here. :D

395748 2005-10-13 08:02:00 I challenge any student to rock up to their teacher tommorow morning and tell them they knew they were crap at their job, a thicko and socially retarded from the first moment they met them due to their name.

Should go down well.
