Happygoin - After reading your "doo-doo head" post, I just thought I'd mention that here in Israel the nickname for "David" is "Dudu" or Dudi", which is pronounced just like the words that we all know. Needless to say, I didn't name my son David. ;D

I wasn't sure how Parisfan took that...it was, of course, meant in fun. I do hope he/she realized that. So glad you didn't name your son David, Shoesy. Wow...it's no wonder cultural misunderstandings abound...And, Gitte, you had better not leave us for a return to TA...we love the bats in your belfry!

"Bats in the belfry" LOL I haven't heard that one for yonks!!! Yonks = ages, FYI
