Is a Gary the same as an Alan?

[poo]

Confused :s

No way man.

An Alan is innocent, whereas a Gary is capable of horrific crimes.

A little known fact is that Hitler's middle name was Gary.

Also, Glitter.

I've tried thinking of evil Alans but I just can't. There's also Tibetan pop singer Alan, who is a pretty girl.



Alan wins hands down.

Alan Ladd. Goodie Cowboy.

Gary Kemp. Bit of a tosspot.

Alan Shearer. Boring Geordie.

Gary Indiana. Place in America.

Yes they all seem to be the same, thanks.

[Mijkediablo]

Gary Ablett = tablet.

Alan Carr = cigar.

Alan Cumming. Gary Receiving.

[Benevolent Despot]

'Alan' is also derived from from 'Arian'. Which means it is better than Gary.

Additional Alan facts:

Alans are a dark age tribe who even had their own kindgom, Alania[nb]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alans[/nb]. To be of the Alans is to be Alanic.

An Alan is a legendary mythical creature from the Phillipines[nb]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_%28legendary_creature%29[/nb].

The Alan are said to take drops of menstrual blood, miscarried fetuses, afterbirth, or other reproductive waste and transform them into human children, whom they then raise as their own. They live near springs in extremely fine houses, made of gold and other valuables.

What if it's an Alan of all trades?

If you mean the verb, then no; e.g. "Gi's a garry off your bike there, boy" (slang phrase I remember hearing in Cork). An Alan on the other hand is never spelt with two Rs.
