Hehe. To be honest, that was the first thing that entered my mind when I heard the name. Bit of a bogan (bevon in Queensland) area from what I recall.

I actually do that, and I'm not an Aussie (I assume it's the name of a city/province/lager/kangaroo down there). There's a street in Chicago called "Balmoral" that's 6 blocks from my apartment, and about 3 of my friends live on it. So I've got it on the brain.

u are a dweeb, you should really think about getting speech lessons, the closest thing i got to mispronounciation was "seeda neen".. but i was still playing at 7:00 when i got on at 9:00 the night b4. I COULNT MAKE MY BACK TO ME ROOM, I MIGHT ASWELL HAVE BEEN DRUNK

dova - i am aware of the correct (and very different pronouncation) of Balmora
compared to Balmoral. I was just mentioning the fact that i often instinctively
say/think Balmoral even though i know the difference.... it just amused me..

I tend to think of it as Boramal - but that's just me I guess :joke:
