There arent any "H" sounds in the Greek alphabet as far as I know and I am a fluent Greek speaker.... the word in Greek is Ellas (sorry don't know how to type in Greek characters on this forum for ya)


So if you ALL KNOW then why even pretend engaging in a conversation? You've clearly made up your little mind what YOU think my club represents and thats all there will ever be to the matter in that closed off mind of yours... Going around the place telling people who they are are or are not... Disgraceful behaviour if you ask me. Lucky for all of us that racist mindset is dying off in this country and we can all move forward and celebrate our Australian-ness without worrying about what the bigots think.


Well, like I said, who gives a fuck what a foreigner thinks? MY passport, birth certificate, drivers license, medicare card, electoral roll entry etc etc all show that I am a proud Australian citizen ... do yours?


NOPE, as Ive mentioned many a time here I bought myself, my son and my dad a half and half Ellas and Australia scarf (the ONLY one I would ever own btw) and proudly sung both national anthems and cheered both squads on in a friendly match in front of a monster crowd. If you choose to not beleive me based on tour extensive knowledge of my character then .... give a fuck I suppose.

Fuck me, take a breath.

Serious question - I didn't know the H was silent. Is Heracles then pronounced Eracles? And Hera would be Era?

Mind you, when I pronounce the French name Barthes correctly to my students, they look at me as if I'm deranged.

thats spot on The H isnt exactly silent it just doesnt appear as a monophonic sound in Greek... The letter X (chi in the stupid US sorority parlance) is pronounced like the CH in Bach the composer for example....

Phonetic English pronunciation of Hercales and Hera would be

Iraklis
Ira

There are some good ones around. Kirabati is pronounced Kirabas. The wh you see in NZ Maori names is in fact a very soft sort of whooshing f sound, but it's a point of pride with the more reactionary populace to pronounce it as in when.

Oh, sorry - I thought I was on the pointless conversations thread.

Meh these threads take on lives of their own sometimes... I personally enjoy it... Conversations grow by interaction.... people trying to pigenhole conversations are probably very rigid in other areas of life .. play on amigo

Not trying to piss you off, but I do use it to piss off Greek mates. In Spanish, the Greeks are rarely referred to as Greek (Griego - from Latin) but instead are referred to as the Helens, which of course means Hellenic in English.

As it snares EPL soccer rights, Nine positions itself to become the sports broadcast overlord

Nine appears to be in pole position to sweep up just about every sporting broadcast there is, including both major football codes, for the first time in over two decades.

www.crikey.com.au

Thanks for posting and great pick up.

If Nine finish up with both AFL n NRL, further they have Rugby....

It comes down too, do you get lost in the content, or matched with EPL n Champions league will rating go up.

Certainty with Nine they would demand we stay in summer whether or not a move to winter is even being considered.

On balance if we could get 10 to remember they broadcast Football not AFL my gut is to stay with 10

Ch 10 and Paramount have to pay more, There broke asses got a bargain deal for $200m over 5 years if the APL don't get at least a %30 increases in revenue then they have failed the clubs. I've spoken to a close source at the Nixs and they have said a deal was pretty much done already at the same rate its why there will be a strick cap next season and beyond as there's not enough money to go around. The clubs wanted $4.5m a season but that has been shafted.
