Keigh-Leigh was the worst I have seen.
Some unfortunate graffeti about her taste in sexual partners

and failed to use bold properly!!

stainesmassif · 28/03/2009 12:35

this isn't entirely relevant but...
i went on a client visit with two colleagues and arrived at reception. Introduced colleagues and myself to receptionist so that she could write out our name badges.

'This is Mrs Client Relationship'
'This is Mr Account Manager'
'And I am Justine (my real first name) Stainesmassif'

Receptionist handed over name badges for C R, A M and *Ian Stainesmassif'.

Obviously, I am 'Just Ian Staines Massif' - transgender with low self esteem??

FAQ I do have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to homework and throwing gluesyicks in class, apparantly that makes me a dictator who approves of torture

My mum had a friend who was a teacher, and in this man's class was a girl called Alfo Margaret. Apparently he asked the mum where the name came from, and was told she'd been concieved on a gravestone, so they picked the name from the stone to name her.

Here Lies John Smith

Alfo (the 'f' actually being that long 's')

Margaret - his wife.

Hence Alfo Margaret - poor lass.

He also taught twin girls whose surname was Boob - I bet they married young!

I did also hear of someone calling their son Frederick Ulysses Charles Kelly - but that may be an urban myth.

I hate to see/hear Aaron pronounced as Arran as on Emmerdale-surely it should be Air-ron as in Bible?or maybe I am wrong.
