A Vodafone door to door salesman was doing the rounds on our road earlier with the latest offers that aren't available online apparently... anyway he left his business card and when I saw his name I had to LOL as it was Robin Crowe! His family must love bird names Grin

Years ago I worked somewhere where they had a tannoy. There was a Mike Hunt working there (one of the bosses) which would result in everyone in absolute hysterics when MikeHunt got tannoyed.

Even more hysterics would ensue when you’d be needing to tannoy MikeHunt as you’d inform your fellow colleagues “I’m just going to have to tannoy MikeHunt” or if he was taking ages to respond “Has someone tannoyed MikeHunt”, “can someone tannoy MikeHunt again”. Never got old and still making me snigger as I’m writing this now 🤣

Worked in a hospital tannoying doctors many years ago...one of our doctors was called Dr Peñas...as in a Spanish name and pronunciation. ...a very elderly woman in the paging dept alway called him Dr Penis over the tannoy...cue the rest of us dying with laughter after every page. Poor fellow Grin

@CatalinaCasesolver

Colleague in the US called Randy Bumgardner 🤣
This one made me laugh. Don't think either Randy or Bum are giggle worth in the US, though! I can't imagine anyone in the UK calling their child Randy...
