When I consider the magnitude of the subject which I am to bring before the gathering - a subject, in which the interests, not of this country, nor of Europe alone, but of the whole world, and of posterity, are involved: and when I think, at the same time, on the weakness of the advocate who has undertaken this great cause-when these reflections press upon my mind, it is impossible for me not to feel both terrified and concerned at my own inadequacy to such a task. But when I reflect, however, on the encouragement which I have had, through the whole course of a long and laborious examination of this question, and how much candour I have experienced, and how conviction has increased within my own mind, in proportion as I have advanced in my labours; when I reflect, especially, that however averse any gentleman may now be, yet we shall all be of one opinion in the end; when I turn myself to these thoughts, I take courage-I determine to forget all my other fears, and I march forward with a firmer step in the full assurance that my cause will bear me out, and that I shall be able to justify upon the clearest principles, every resolution in my hand. When I think about the great things our nations have achieved together such as...... Then I'd look bewildered and mutter for the remaining time of the speech. Everything except the last line is an almost verbatim copy of the first William Wilberforce's speech in favour of the abolition of the slave trade to the House of Commons, so no one will notice.

That gets a :powerUp:. I have just been asked for a draft of my introduction by the stupid bitch organiser to make sure she doesn't pre-empt what I wish to say. Gud Foocking Luck there! Actually on a read through I have around 5 minutes, it mentions half a dozen interesting Anglo/British facts covers all the entertainment to be had and introduces the [dis]honourable guests. That, my friend, is sorted. Now for a shower and start to get ready.

"Nagy Vilmos" in Hungarian means "A great protector"! Are you really, Nagy?
Never underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of others.
No it doesn't, well of a sort maybe. Nagy means big or great and Vilmos is the Hungarian version of William.

You are, but it doesn't stop me from being the same.

What kind of a broke Hungarian :sigh: are you Mr Protector? Of course the uneducated may only know the William equivalent ... but, see Yes, it does! (and I am not even one inch Hungarian) and boo :thumbsdown: you, for making me ask Dr. google to make sure I don't turn out all stupid... Disclosure: I actually think "great protector" is quite a cool name (although not too modest)!

well, did you ask your mom about Vilmos already? e.g.: "Hi mom, yes, I know I didn't call you for over a week, yes ... yes mom anyway, I just wanted to ask you about something here, see this strange guy over at CP says that Vilmos means protector, what do you reckon, huh mom? is he talking rubbish? or did I just turn out as Mr. not-so-Big?"

Considering I'm not Hungarian [don't tell] I think she wouldn't understand. The truth? You can't handle the truth! Actually you probably can. My name is William hence the Vilmos. When I first worked out in Hungary my then boss called me Big Willy and so the Nagy Vilmos name came along when I needed a name for my hotmail account. I still use the name as Mrs Wife finds it funny.

Then I have to spread that out over 5 frogging minutes.
