Had contract meetings with a company who’s auditors are Sitki Sukurer and Bumin Anal (both Turkish). How the hell do I keep a straight face when confronted with that? I would google it to check its not made up but I might trigger alarms.

they having you on?

are you being scammed?

facejacker?

I always struggled when talking to Wayne P. Kitkat.

I was account manager for a chap called Mr.W.Ankers once.

I also utterly lost it once when meeting an American colleague who quoted aloud from Oprah Winfrey during a meeting. I had to pretend that I was choking.

Genuine, written into the company annual reports and everything. I thought I did quite well not to fall off my chair.

deffo a wind up

Similarly, I used to live across the road from Mark Barass.

Russell Sprout was my favorite.

I used to work with a bloke (part french) who was called Hugh Bollcohe, affectionately renamed ‘big nads’

Had to ask for a guy on the phone called Ainars. No idea how to pronounce it properly or without making everyone around me laugh

Michael Hunt – never ever called Mike

Teressa Green – to be fair it was a married name

There was one lad Nicholas something or other

You’ll be telling us about Nicholas Girlsshouldntclimbtrees next.

Carol Cokeglass, Mike Hunt and Mr Fiddler are just a few that I have come across recently… If I hadn’t met them I’d have thought it was a piss take!

On reflection she may have bee Theresa wood but it was a result of marriage either way

Uren is quite a common surname in Belgium, pronounced OOREN.
Working in Hotels you got the best names:
Mr & Mrs Sowerbutts
Mr & Mrs De’ath – yeah right.

Tony Cocaine
Dracula Chang

Met Willie Fiddler at uni

Just googled bumin anal, and he’s not lying its a genuine Turkish name 😀

When I worked in a Uni library we had calling at the front desk:

Richard Head
John Thomas

John was a huge big guy from Papua New Guinea so I had no trouble keeping a straight face, fear saw to that.

I used to work with James bond at work
He was a police officer

Guess what his collar number was

Used to know someone called Ian Mycock, his mothers first name was Pat!

Not rude but funny none the less: Dickon Horsey

There used to be a contractor that sat in the office I’d sometimes frequent called Richard Fiddler. The problem was he preferred to be called Dick.

Absolute genius 😀

It turns out Amegashitsie is a real surname, this despite Deed Poll.

As a teenager a great source of amusement for me was the Crimewatch credits, which included one Dick Pull.

My dad worked with Anthony (Tony) De’ath, and I used to have a guy called Des Lillycrap and a client, used to know John (Johnny) Fiddler and an old work colleague was adamant he went to school with Nesta Crows.

There was a Hammond Pickles in the ex’s family somewhere – none of the miserable buggers thought it was remotely amusing though.

Used to deal with a guy called Genius in China. Sadly for comedy he was actually quite clever.

Des Lillycrap

Christopher Lillicrap used to present a kids TV show back in the 80s, some Jackanory rip-off or other.

Tremendous.

our old (french) french teacher was Miss Patricia Nuss.. yet she always insisted on signing her name “Miss P. Nuss”.

Used to call Edinburgh Zoo and ask for Mr C Lion when I was a kid,, ohhh how we laughed.

Mr & Mrs De’ath

I used to know someone called andy de’ath. An utter **** if ever there was one.

old workmate called campbell baxter, nickname was two soups 🙂

My brother in law is called Chris Peacock, I’m hoping they have a son and call him Drew 😆

Worked with a Tracy E Acup.

Also an Ailsa Craig (small island off the Ayrshire coast).

Once introduced to an Architect called Mr Croch who insisted we call him Dickie !

Another colleague called Mrs Kerr had a son Joseph. But of course, shortened to Joe.

And finally, a customer wearing a celtic FC top. Ask him for his name, and inevitably it’s….Walter Smith.

Mrs Kerr had a son Joseph

Not Wayne, then. Or Juan.

Claimant at work had a son called Kuntal Sogi – referred to only as “your son” when I met him….. 😳

Year below me at school had a Mycock and a Hardon.
