Somehow I can't see Mr. McGoldrick's parents intending to name him that. Possibly they intended "Stylites", as in St.

Also, sorry to see the Drachma biting the dust after 2,600 years in favour of the Euro. It's only a matter of months now before they change the name of "Hellas" to "Southeast Belgium". Bloody shame, that.
