I have this with my kids mates names because I take the piss out of them. So Dan's mate who is called Jacob and is very god fearing I have always referred to him as Jebus in private but when talking to his mum I just can't say his name because my brain can't force the correct one out
I just come out with that shit with adults, I can't see the point of hiding what everyone can see. I've never been punched for it yet, it's like it blind sides them so much they accept it.We have a guy at work called Paul. He looks like Ned Flanders and is a massive bellend so everyone calls him Ned behind his back, quite often I call him Ned to his face. He responds too which makes me feel even more like a twat.
French was easier. I gave german and french up at 13. English is hard enough.I'm learning German at the minute. That's hard to remember. So many words for "the" - das, die, der, den which change if it's accusative or masculine or feminine.

Much tho i would love to all my efforts at other languages stop at asking for a beer and saying thanks. Im a bit better at frenchI have a friend who helps me with my French who is frankly incredible. He is a polyglot and he just absorbs languages. He was working for the Government back in the 70s and was stationed in Germany. He said he didn't speak a word of German at the time but he didn't leave his flat until he had a basic understanding and could communicate. He just translated a book of Spanish poetry (Machado) to English ffs. I'd love to be able to have the confidence in my languages to publish translated stuff.

on topic:
The National's Matt Berninger now shares my List Of Death with Neil Gaiman. He earned his place on the TeedLOD due to having hugged Lauren Mayberry from CHVRCHES not once but TWICE during a National gig
