I'm sad if only for his name. Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria is now my favourite named person.

Boutros Ghali - rhymes with 'Charlie' which is slang for cocaine.

Must be a bitch for him when he sends emails and they immediately go in the spam folder as a banking scam!

'Boutros' is the Arabic version of 'Peter'. 'Ghali' means 'expensive' or 'precious'. So his name literally meant 'Peter Peter-Precious'

Or, one could say, 'Peter Diamond' or even 'Peter Goldstone'.
