Anne Teresa = Mother Teresa in Turkish!!
Tess
Ha ha ha haaaa. The staff were very polite Tess. They were laughing perhaps because the word 'TERES' is not a very nice word. You will not find it in many dictionaries. The similarity with the name 'THERESA' did not escape them .
My grand parents have used that word towards me in an affectionate way, but the true meaning is something like s.o.b. and or 'pimp'. I thought it went out of use a long time ago.
Oh there I go again - so naive!!! Wait till I tell Anne!!!

Oops.......that's what happens when one returns back after being away for a week and does not bother to read the whole thread.
Suzie-Q must have read my mind in advance.

This is a great one for the tannoy. Just get the caller to ask for mike Hunt and sit back and enjoy.
I used to work with a guy named Michael Hunte. Man, did he hate being called "Mike!" I've also met a guy named Richard Soares and a lady named Anita Gudwudde. You can't make this crap up...

I've always hated the name 'Kayla',which I found out later was an Irish name.
If you are either Scots or of Scots descent,NEVER give your kid an Irish name,especially naming your son 'Eamonn'.
