Is it time to tell you there is a Lady Garden in the House of Lords

I saw the start of Newsnight yesterday, and they mentioned a photographer named William Dangles. When I considered that his name can be shortened to Willy Dangles I had to retire, in tears, to bed.

I honestly know a Christ Peacock, his wife's name is Lou!

I also used to work with a Christopher Peacock. He was a reporter for London Tonight and then Meridien. He used to positively revel in being called Chrispy :o

We went to a restaurant once and had to wait for a table. They were calling through people by their names and the waiter came through and shouted 'table for the rabbit family!'
There were four rabbits, DH and I speculated that their names might be roger, peter, Jessica and rampant. I could not breathe for laughing. They did look a bit rabbit like too. When we walked past them on the way to our table and saw they all had carrots with their lunch I actually thought I might burst.

Small things.

In real life I know someone who is called Everard Dick - and his sister is called Ophelia - perfectly true!!

What a fantastic thread, I'm crying with laughter.

I work as a supply teacher and once overheard a conversation in the staffroom about one of the teachers who had just got engaged. She was discussing whether or not she should take his surname when they married. His surname was Bacon. Not a bad name except her first name was Megan

I'll never forget the news story i saw where they were interviewing someone called "Major Dicky Head" (he was in the army) ... me and Dh still laugh about it now!!!

I had an American client called Randy Rogers and a colleague called Richard Staines. Years later it still amuses me.

Oh I've just remembered my grandparents used to have a GP called Dr Allcock and they called him Dr Noballs. They even had Dr Noballs written on their emergency numbers sheet stuck to the wall in their flat. I didn't get it for years.

(crying with laughter at this thread)

As a PA I once got asked to announce on the tannnoy thingy, "Michael Hunt, anyone got Michael Hunt in their office?". I was told that he hated to be called Michael and to shorten it to Mike, I only said it once but my boss insisted it said it at least three times over the phone thingy. I was trying really hard not to snigger because I actuallt thought it might be genuine.

Was it Fu...? The whole office of men, the whole office was actually crying.

Oh and I used to work in a bank as my first job. We used to have to actually print the cheque books by hand with a metal plate and a machine and then announce to the customers, by name loudly, that their cheqie book was ready.

"Mr Wanklyn, Mr Wanklyn, your cheque book is ready to collect"

My DCs have a friend in school called Richard Cumming. They can't believe his parents were so stupid....
