    My surname is one of confusion to some of my fellow DODers across the waters, so let me school you.

    It's prounced "Ray" - like the ray of sunshine that I am. Such is the history of the surname that it has spawned many the variation:

    Rae fairly rare: Belfast area, Dublin etc. Scottish, a Borders name now widespread in Scotland. See Rea and Ray. SS.

    Ray Quite numerous: Dublin, Down etc. English, denoting "king" - some confusion with Scottish Rae and Irish Rea, q.v.

    >> Rea << (1) numerous: Belfast and E Ulster. Scottish, more usually Rae, associated with the Borders, but MacLysaght says it is sometimes abbreviation of Mac Crea, q.v. (2) fairly numerous: Limerick->> Cork<< -Tipperary, South East. Ir. Ó Riabhaigh, riabhach, striped, brindled. Often pronounced "ray" - see Castlerea. MIF & SI.

    Reagh Very rare: Portrush (Antrim). Ir. Riabhach (striped). Epithet which displaced surname. See Rea.

    Reay rare: Louth, Belfast etc. See Rea.

    Rhea a form of Rea formerly in Donegal. The name does not appear in current telephone directories, but has been previously recorded.

    Wray numerous: Derry-Tyrone and Ulster generally. English settlers from Yorkshire in 16 cent; a locative name, it may stand, in some cases, for Rea, q.v.

    I don't actually mind how people pronounce it btw (Ree, Raya, whatver), just say it like you mean it, solider!

    Why were you requesting he not set up in window ledges?

    Apologies not window ledges, but window frames (across the top in this case). Using map areas to unfair advantage where it wouldn't be possible to position your body "in real life".

    This isn't a rule in the public server. Unrealistic things happen in the pub all the time. It's a rule within realisms though. Make sure you don't confuse realism and public server rules.

  14. How has music changed?

    I'm not that much into hip-hop/rap and what have you, but I dod recognise talent when I hear it. Seems to me that back in the day, hip-hop/rap songs had a point to them - a message. These days it's purely for the dollars in a race to the most regurgitated of pop/dance themes. The video you have above is a perfect example of young fellas spouting a load of bullshit with their video props and fake money with lyrics that mean absolutely nothing.

    Now this is something that would make a rocker like me listen to every word and "get the message".

    By the way, Nicki Minaj has been sent from the future to destroy us all. A robot that is attacking the most populist of music genres and will lead the human race to it's extinction.
