I taught a wonderful Walter. A very kind, friendly boy, great conversationalist (for a seven year old at least!) and a pleasure to teach.
He had brothers Fred and Percy too!

Koenig, Checkov from Star Trek (who i've met in RL)

''ave you been Walter?' - NellyPledge, 'Nearest and Dearest', 1970s sitcom.
Walter was a little brow-beaten middle-aged bloke who never spoke and his bowel habits were his wife's main topic of conversation.

Old man with VERY big ears and brown crimplene trousers. Probably has an allotment.

DP's oldest friend. Rather cool, as it happens.

Red and white striped jumper.

The father of a close school friend - a truely lovely man who I'd be happy to name any future DS I may have, after!

Thanks for your honesty! Don't think I'll show dh the thread however as it kind of proves his point!! I haven't won him over with it yet...maybe he'll let me use it as a middle name.
