I have struck upon a rich seam indeed.

Struggling to find the perfect name for your daughter?

Torn between traditional or unusual?

Tearing your hair out on the mn baby name threads?

Use the Eddie Sobart Method.

Get in car.

Drive on motorway.

Come alongside Eddie Stobart lorry.

Read name of lorry on front (R) hand corner (just in front of drivers door, near the bumper).

There you go.

You cannot back out when you have seen your name. The method is all about chance and living on the edge.

For those of you who do not drive, or are not living in the UK, or do not like motorways, or trucks, I have come up with the variant MN Eddie Stobart Method.

Helpful mners will post on this here thread the name they have just spotted on their most recent journey.

To get the ball rolling I give you

Shona

lol at fans poems.

I feel like I have stumbled into a whole new underworld.

So what is the uniform like then, and does your dp have a favorite? Has he ever got to drive the same 'girl' twice? Does he have a notebook?

..... so many questions

presumably you pay for the list so that youcan then try and spot ALL the lorries and tickthemoff your list...

it's good to havea purpose in life

Slubberdegullion · 09/08/2008 22:33

The eddie wave omg this just keeps on getting better and better, or worse and worse.

What is the shoot?

I'm not suprised your dp has had enough. Next you'll be telling me they all had to wear green frilly y-fronts and the hems on their trousers were checked so no hint of ankle is visible during a full stretch brake.

Oh excellent, will try this! If I am on a motorway between now and when baby arrives... Maybe i'll go to Frimley via the M3

Slubberdegullion · 09/08/2008 22:36

Mrs JC, what happens when you have ticked them all off? What happens to you then? Maybe you transmogrify (of that is so spelt wrong) into an eddie Stobart truck (and undergo a simultaneous sex change too, obviously)

But can a random member of the public attempt the wave? Is it not a sign to be used soley between the drivers? I wouldn't want to recieve a middle finger salute in return.

OP posts:
LadyOfWaffle · 09/08/2008 22:43

Well... try it and see Unless JJ is making the wave up and the drivre will just think your bonkers... or part of a gang trying to rob his truck?

BettySpaghetti · 09/08/2008 22:45

Priceless

Slubberdegullion · 09/08/2008 22:52

Norbert really is a most excellent name. Dentressangle is beyond fabulous.

OP posts:
LadyOfWaffle · 09/08/2008 22:53

Darn it, I was going to pinch that name! Norbert is just a knock off Eddie... bloomin' fake

Slubberdegullion · 09/08/2008 22:53
