But some other letters don't always seem to get the same word, whereas with F it's always Freddie - it's not as if it's a very common name.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-40105825698302950602006-12-13T01:18:00.000+00:002006-12-13T01:18:00.000+00:00Hello z!

One doesn't want to come across as a geek or out-of-context policeman, or be laughed at by a telephone person. Unless you're talking to a policeman, in which case the only limiting factor is one's memory for the correct term. So it's F for Freddie, M for Mother, S for Sugar, but C for Charlie, N for November and so on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-57683705344153221302006-12-10T05:54:00.000+00:002006-12-10T05:54:00.000+00:00no worries, sweet friend. am including you all th...no worries, sweet friend. am including you all the same and you have a year to properly bestow...<br /><br />xoGirlplustwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056576921114387218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-14654810120118744192006-12-09T14:37:00.000+00:002006-12-09T14:37:00.000+00:00Amen to that, bdAmen to that, bdZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-71656188800936314922006-12-09T14:03:00.000+00:002006-12-09T14:03:00.000+00:00Again I say...
