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.

Allegedly there is a plumber in Wanganui called Dwayne Pipe

As a kid I was in school with a kid called Steve Austin, we got into a scrape and the local constabulory got involved, they wouldnt believe that was his name. Said copper was very embarassed after taking him home and having it confirmed by his angry parents. (you may have to be an old git to understand the last bit)

I was operated on by a Dr Hedley Philpott, struck me as a nice but old fashioned moniker for a fella clearly born in the 60's.

Last week I had to visit Leanne Boddey - who had a pole dancing pole in her front room. (And she looked like she knew how to use it....)

We have a Miss D Evil on our books, a lovely little old lady apparently.

And I had a family with a child called Kuntal Sogi. There must be some special way of pronouncing it so it doesn't sound as bad as it looks.....

Robbed from elsewhere 😳

AIRPORT SECURITY: What’s your name?

PASSENGER: Batman.

AIRPORT SECURITY: Your real name, please.

PASSENGER: My name IS Batman.

AIRPORT SECURITY: Are you trying to be funny?! What’s your surname?

PASSENGER: Superman.

Airport security handcuffs him & puts him in a locked security facility.
Then they checked his passport…

I really hope this is true.

Used to go to university with someone called Knight (surname)
After passing his PHD he of course became Dr Knight, and used to introduce himself as such, followed by the evil laugh, which he could do really well.
