Bored of reading through all answers, decided to get a question of my own...here it goes...actually I know the answer, but anyways, I would like to know the opinions of actually English Speaking folks....some of which might happen to live in Europe...although I would not mind answers of Americans either, although especially with Americans I know what the answers will most likely be, so did I say here it goes, yet? Well, here it goes...actually, it is kind of hard to ask, since it is about pronunciation and I am not sure how to make things clear, but I shall try, so here it goes:
Berkeley....philosopher...Irish one actually, but for the sake of pissing of the Irish we shall call him Brit from hereon....how do you pronounce his name? Do you say
a) Barkley (like what the dogs do when they are not sleeping..or eating..or dead)
or
b) Birkley (like Captain kirk..the dude from the Enterprise....the one with the gay yellow Sweater)
?
Now answer...I DEMAND IT!!

TRUTH....you have spoken it. I honour thee. Or something.
Oh which brings me to the next point...not all of Europe drives on the left side of the road..actually that's mostly just a few retarded countries....they also drink hot water with milk...or at least did so until Asterix brought them the right herbs.
