You should just be pleased that it's not Adam Gillard.

(Not really, Adam)

Speaking of Gillard/Gilinsky, for some reason I used to think Adam Gillard was American. This probably because I read this and got them mixed up. I used to think it was because maybe I'd confused him with Andrew Feist (he's American isn't he?) but I think this is a better explanation. I hope this clears it up for you.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if Adam Gillard has a brother called Armand? And yes, Andrew's American.

You don't have a brother called Armand, or you don't wonder if you have a brother called Armand? I didn't previously, but now I wonder whether you have a brother called Armand.

I knew this was coming, but I couldn't be bothered elucidating. No to both. I don't have a brother called Armand; I don't wonder if I have a brother called Armand.
