    Oh and just remembered the names of two people at my school whose names raised a smile. Stafford Sparshot and Sheldon Dibley. A couple of years after I left I was in the local DIY store and there was a tannoy announcement "Could Stafford Sparshot please come to the Customer Services desk".

    The girlfriends surname is Caunt, whenever we go anywhere she always books it in my name, actually think that's the only reason she agreed to marry me 🙂

    Remembered another couple.

    Worked with a bloke on a nightmare project called Ewan Kerr (and he was the only decent bloke involved in the project).

    A friend, before she was married, worked as a locum in Leith. Her maiden name was Jelly. "Dr Jelly fae Leith" – sounded like a Sunday Mail expose headline.

    Used to work with an American called Dick Sander. Always bought a tear to my eye that one.
    One of our suppliers has a Mike Hunt (and he likes to be called Mike). And they have a Japanese female employee caled Fukuoka.

    And our email system at work uses first initial then surname. Brian Adcock was never funnier.
