To wonder why my brother signed my birthday card "Kenneth Branagh" when he isn't

[firemansamisnormansdad]

WTF.

You got a card of your brother signed in some random name?

Was it a joke? Who's Kenneth Branagh anyway?

My dad writes his full name then puts (i.e your father) at the the bottom of the card

That's brilliant.

No! I'm Kenneth Branagh!!

Also dontknow who kenneth branagh is, just assumed itwas a random name, is he well known?

A subtle way of telling you about his name change by deed poll?

Bizarre.

Kenneth Branagh

Oh professor lockheart in Harry potter, I know who he is!

He wrote "happy birthday love XXX, XXX and XXXX (Kenneth Branagh). there are 3 of them in the family so i don't know whether they're expecting again and are going to call the new baby Kenneth Branagh or whether they've got a new cat. Kenneth Branagh is an actor who was married to Emma Thompson and was Professor Lockhart in the 2nd Harry Potter film. He is currently Wallendar and was the bloke in the top hat at the Olympics opening ceremony who everyone thought was Abraham lincoln. But still, totally random.

Never heard of Kenneth?
(shakes head at ignorance of the young these days)

He is an object of lust for many on MN.

Er...ask him?

I think it's quite funny!

Did your SIL sign her name as Sharon or did she use a made-up one too?

My DH once signed my birthday card with his signature, I have never let him forget it :)

Baffling. Please ask him.

Is he referring to his DC? Who has maybe taken up 'performing' to the family lately? Or are they old enough to be doing drama classes or something? Just a guess.

HTH,
Laurence Olivier.

I agree, he's gone into Am Dram.

And it's Sir Kenneth Branagh.

My brother put in my wedding card "now that you are married, your naked couplings will no longer make the baby Jesus cry". He was joking, I think.

In the card when I had ds he put "congrats on yer crab". Ds is a cancer.

I just did a very loud cackle at the 'naked couplings' thing, that is brilliant

Has anyone ever told him he looks like Ken?

Youmakemewanna I like your brother's style! Sort of things I would say :)

Baby is about 9 months old. A bit young to be soliloquising...

I think it's hysterical sighned The Pope
