HI

Thanks for your opinions.

Yeah there is a famous Jason Byrne. I think he is fairly big in Ireland and the UK. I have never seen him.

I googled Jason Byrne once and was a bit depressed to find there are many of us. Growing up in the suburbs of London, Jason is a common name, but Byrne is a bit unusual. So I was always a little unique. You`d be amazed at how many English speakers can not pronounce BYRNE. BYron, Biren, Bernie, they can`t figure out what follows BY. But of course they should have had pronounced BYR not BY.

Anyway thanks to TV`s Jason Byrne that is all changing, uniqueness gone, although you are the first to mention it. He can`t be that big yet!

cheers

Jason
