Busby?

[MaggieBsBoat]

Yay or nay. Asking for a friend. Passé 1930s or due for a revival?

Strange choice ! Soldier's ceremonial headgear or flying insect (buzz-bee) 🐝 come to mind ...

Nay.. it’s a village just outside Glasgow.

No it’s the character used to advertise British Telecom on TV in the 1980s

Awful.

The big bird fella from the British Telecom ads, or a big hat.

Famous dead Manchester United manager or bearskin hat. No.

I would assume the Father was a massive Man United fan.

Dreadful!

Made me think of BT and the clothes chain Busby and Fox

Why two threads? Just tell your "friend" it is a bold choice.

I know someone with the middle name Busby. Dad was (as mentioned above) a massive Manchester United fan.

I want a soldier, a soldier in a busby,
I want a soldier to come and play with me.
I’d give him cream cakes (big ones, sugar ones)
I’d give him cream cakes and cream for his tea.

There are worse things than being referenced by A A Milne, I suppose.

Cute for a child’s pet or teddy, not the actual child.

First thing I think of is… (so no, don’t do it)

This is the name of the bus station in my old home town 😁

A revival? Was it ever an actual given name?

In any case it's bloody awful.

I think it's too associated with Busby Berkley who, whilst brilliant was not really a nice person

Good lord no! It’s the bird off the BT adverts.

Sorry, I also just think of the BT advert character. I appreciate that younger people won’t know that though so won’t have the same association!

Is this not the name of one of the AI assistants? Similar to Alexa? If it isn’t, that’s what it reminds me of!

@queenofwands I think thats bixby

I‘ve not started two threads. Maybe you’re hallucinating Busbies? (Is that the spelling for more than one Busby?)

At my local railway station there was a Make Someone Happy poster and someone had written 'Kill Buzby' on it. So that's my association...

Awful

I would also think Man U fan.
