I would hazard a guess that he must have got it right. As someone with a strange surname, it's one of those things you just get used to. I would get a bit p155ed off when younger but I can't be bothered to correct people now. I would guess that Mr Al Qadi is not one to be correcting people but that people would ask beforehand. |

He said himself that's it's pronounced the same way as Gael in Gael Clichy Yes he did, but it's actually Gaël Clichy. The diaeresis over the letter e implies that the name Gaël should be pronounced as two distinct syllables i.e. with a stop in the middle of the word. Is that what he meant, I wonder? That would tally with the audio clip that LincsBlue posted. |

Why is this important anyway? Are we composing a song already and need rhyming words?  |

Whale, snail, tail, sail, mail, rail, dale, fail, hail, pale, jail. Plenty to work with there.
Hope he doesn't bale (think any number of rich investors that got cold feet)
Or end up in jail (think Thaksin Shinawatra)

EDIT: Google check makes me feel rather daft. As in 'oh, Gael Clichy'. For some reason I was trying various strangulated pronunciations and assuming an Irish folk singer or some such. I haven't been well. |

That's the Wael, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh Followed by Wael meet again, don't know where, don't know when.............. great to hear Vera Lynn drifting out melodically from the blackthorn. Incidentally - really enjoyed yesterday's new song 'we're richer than you, we're richer than you; Bristol city we're richer than you' |
