<< Rob Elliott's "Leighlinbridge" isn't pronounced the way it looks. I
believe it is pronounced "lock - lynn - bridge". Rob can clarify this one. >>

Yep, that's about right.
The pronunciation varies with different regional dialects, but the
Leighlinbridge residents themselves in County Carlow, Ireland pronounce it as
"Lock-lin-bridge".
By the way, if anyone can pronounce my address and locality correctly (see
email signature below), they win the right to check out the Aubres fragments
I listed on my website last night at http://fernlea.tripod.com/sale1.html
Those that trip up on the correct pronunciation have to look at it twice ;-)

Cheers,
Rob.
