“A lot of fantasy names are too much. They’re too difficult to pronounce. I wanted the flavour of medieval England. I took actual names we still use today, like ‘Robert’, and in some case I tweaked them a little bit. I made ‘Edward’ into ‘Eddard’. If you look back at medieval times, no one knew how to spell their own names. There are a lot of variations that we’ve lost.” IfsLooksLittlesMadeStillsUseTodayWantedNamesLostBitsDifficultCasesFantasyToo MuchLittle BitEnglandSpellsVariationMedievalFlavourMedieval Times Author:George R.

“I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.” YearsHardGoalUnitedAttentionToo MuchPlayerHard WorkQuietVoteEnglandIntelligentRateVery GoodScoreAssetsProfileManchesterLadManchester UnitedScholesFlamboyantHigh ProfilePaul Scholes Author:Tony Adams

“There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing. Everybody now-a-days is a father, there is father Mussolini and father Hitler and father Roosevelt and father Stalin and father Trotsky and father Blum and father Franco is just commencing now and there are ever so many more ready to be one. Fathers are depressing. England is the only country now that has not got one and so they are more cheerful there than anywhere.

“The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch. Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.” LoveLooksMeanStillsEnoughProblemAmericaHateCoursesSexMoralMarriageToo MuchHonorPromiseSolutionsEuropeEternityEnglandDivorceIndifferenceContractsMultiplePenaltiesAdulteryDeath PenaltySeriousnessReally MeanSeemingSerialsAurasPolygamyNew England Author:Anthony Burgess
