Good point about Mr. Teh,ah,tim,eh, tho!

Okay, when the witches conjure up the demon in "Wyrd sisters", it gives its name as "WxrtHltl-jwlpklz". Am I pronouncing this correctly, or is pronounced with a soft (H)?
The H is silent, as in wardrobe.

The jokes are: the one Kat mentioned about 'semi-colon'; Nobby's line about 'sounds like surgery' in NW, when the Watch are chanting, "Colon! Colon! Colon! Out! Out! Out!"


Mrs G
The Garner who cares.
