I've just looked at this for the first time in 2 days...and, coincidentally, have just downloaded a book whose title character is named Shuggie.
I think Douglas is quite funny...just putting my 2 cents in.

For Hugh, Gness, even one of the waiters in a local Indian restaurant goes by it, but he's a Weegie. :-)

Ah, GG. You'd think I'd have know that having spent years in Corby which is where I heard it. Thank you.

....or 'Shuggie'

That's the one, gg.

There used to be a Glasgow band called Shug Barr's All Stars. Ah, a lifetime ago.

[gness]

Thanks, Douglas and GG. I've heard Weegie as many folk from Glasgow came down to Corby. I don't know how many of you have heard the Corby accent. Hasn't quite become Scottish but in the next generation the twang is there which makes it very recognisable. My Irish family in Corby sound more Scottish than Irish. :-)

I pronounce the first "H" in "Hugh" and "huge" for example, similar to a "ch" sound (as in "loch") so it's a short step to a "sh" sound and "shug".

[gness]

I see, Corby. Thank you. Taken me a long, long time to learn that! :-)

Bit like us here in Kerry pronouncing S as Sh.

is that advancing either side's argument, TCL?...lol and smiley face

[douglas9401]

Is that not a problem when you want to sit down, Gness? :-)

I'm away to bed now, gnight.

[THECORBYLOON]

GNESS, I do it only with "HU" words.

ROY, I knew someone would pick me up on it but the difference is that I was using a distraction technique to diffuse the situation...(honest).

Meanwhile, back at the original question...

[gness]

Night, Douglas. Shleep well. x

Corby’s decided to sell ice creams, Roy.

[gness]

Please don’t go back to the original question.

[fitdarren]

Not at all ah, I soon got your measure! And douglas is very funny with his one liners, I can't miss that as he posts a lot.

[andy-hughes]

Fidarren - if you say so...

[naomi24]

Further posts here should stick to the subject.

[naomi24]

Grow up, AH. If you want to discuss a subject, discuss it.

[andy-hughes]

I, and everyone else on here, do not need your high-handed instructions naomi, if you don't want criticism, stop being pompous and giving your orders.
