Should be Adam Gilinsky rather than Gilinksy.

You should just be pleased that it's not Adam Gillard.

(Not really, Adam)

Oh poo, sorted now. And thanks for fixing the cdb version; assume it must have been you...

Speaking of Gillard/Gilinsky, for some reason I used to think Adam Gillard was American. This probably because I read this and got them mixed up. I used to think it was because maybe I'd confused him with Andrew Feist (he's American isn't he?) but I think this is a better explanation. I hope this clears it up for you.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if Adam Gillard has a brother called Armand? And yes, Andrew's American.

I don't.

I don't.

You don't have a brother called Armand, or you don't wonder if you have a brother called Armand? I didn't previously, but now I wonder whether you have a brother called Armand.

I knew this was coming, but I couldn't be bothered elucidating. No to both. I don't have a brother called Armand; I don't wonder if I have a brother called Armand.

I wonder if Lauren Hamer does.
