Work with Euan Kerr.

When friends of mine called Kerr had a wee boy I said jokingly to my wife 'as long as they don't call him Euan'. But they did. I mean really, what's that all about? Just an oversight?

My missus used to work with a girl called Annette Kirton.

She then married a young chap called Ball.

You couldn’t make it up.

Childish though I might be, I always enjoyed watching Saracens because of the number of times the commentators mentioned the scrum half. Mrs Scape used to tell me off for saying "He-he!" every time de Kock got a mention. She got even crosser in the second half when they mentioned Wigglesworth, and that raised a "He-he!" as well.

"How the hell do you giggle at Wigglesworth you silly bastard?"

"Because he's come on for De Kock!"

You should try try to find a need to write about copper nano-tubes, then abbreviate them:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11433-013-5387-8

The abstract is a peach

(Copper Nanotube abbv)...should always be viewed in freestanding and tip-suspending conditions... 🙂

Nearly. You must mean Topher Gaylord. He’s now at Under Armour.

Yes, you're right. I realised about 20 minutes later but couldn't be arsed with correcting it. His brother really is called Randy Gaylord however. A very cool name.

I’ve never met one (or gone to see one), but please tell me that there’s a Helena Handcart. Somewhere.

There was a poster on BikeMagic years ago called Helena Handkardt. I suspect she was not entirely real.

I met a Lisa Fuchs once.

Sadly, I didn't get to find out if it was true.

My missus used to work with a girl called Annette Kirton.

I used to work with a Danielle Curtin.  She once had a proper rant at me for something fairly trivial, I told her to pull herself together.  Then had to hit 'mute' on the phone fairly rapidly.

Another work one.

We were interviewing prospective new staff, and had one candidate with the name "Satnam."  We spent a good 20 minutes before he turned up making sat-nav jokes and ended up hysterically giddy.

The guy turned up, we both took deep breaths and composed ourselves.  Went to meet him, my colleague a stride ahead of me goes to shake his hand, "hi, I'm Bob... find us all right?"  I had to take a sudden hard left into a side office to sit on the floor giggling like an idiot.

My dad belonged to a sailing club back in the eighties, the Commodore was a bloke called Peter Enis, and yes he was a bit of dick.

But, same as DrJ, when his parents realised, but still didn't change it...why?

More nominative determinism than unfortunate perhaps, but one of the force Driving Instructors was a PC Nick Moore.
