no brady bunch

Nope, i think of my first real crush... Hello Greg Taylor, wherever you are

janeite · 18/06/2009 18:37

No - 1970s blonde heart-throb who I fancied when I was 13! Gregory is lovely.

EdwardBitMe · 18/06/2009 18:37

Pre-MN: A tall, good looking Scot.
Post-MN: A sausage roll.

EdwardBitMe · 18/06/2009 18:38

Ooh, funnypeculiar! I know a Greg Taylor!

MaggieBeau · 18/06/2009 18:39

That's funny, I also only made the connection between Greg and sausage rolls after MN. MN a bit obsessed with sausage rolls.

funnypeculiar · 18/06/2009 18:41

Edward - do you?? Where did he grow up? Anywhere near Leamington Spa?
It's a common enough name I suppose, but would be a rather amausing co-incy-dink...

Millarkie · 18/06/2009 18:43

First thought was sausage rolls, second thought was a friend's nephew whose name is pronounced Gee-reg (like car reg).
I went to Uni with a Gregor - he was nice.

EdwardBitMe · 18/06/2009 18:45

I'm not sure where he grew up. He's about 30 now, used to live in Hastings.

LaDiDaDi · 18/06/2009 18:45

I like Gregor or Gregory. No good for me as dp doesn't like alliterative names so use it on my behalf .

19fran76 · 18/06/2009 18:47

I think pasties since living in Devon & Cornwall

funnypeculiar · 18/06/2009 18:54

Hmmm, probably not 'mine' then, as he was older than me, and I'm older than that

Nappyzoneisabeetrootrunner · 18/06/2009 18:55

sausage rolls

MrsMcCluskey · 18/06/2009 18:56

I love the name Greg

Sidge · 18/06/2009 21:39

I really like Gregory.

giraffesCantRunA10k · 18/06/2009 21:42

I think of my first love...

No connections to the shop in my head at all.

VeraChuckandDave · 18/06/2009 21:52

House

WolframAlpha · 18/06/2009 21:53

I think of puddingface from Masterchef.

suwoo · 18/06/2009 21:55

I think of Greg James the Radio 1 DJ or someone that is in their 20's-30's and is generally bland and uninspiring.

Sorry but HTH

Pingpong · 18/06/2009 21:57

I think I prefer Gregor but no I don't think of sausage rolls

cyanarasamba · 18/06/2009 21:58

The TV show - Dharma and Greg - drool

www.locatetv.com/tv/dharma-and-greg

This was a very close second choice name for us for DS.

YanknCock · 18/06/2009 22:00

I think of my hysterically funny gay friend Greg.

Or my crazy uncle Greg.

jkklpu · 18/06/2009 22:02

Hugh Laurie as Greg[ory] House

SlartyBartFast · 18/06/2009 22:03

philopastry · 18/06/2009 22:03

Gregory's Girl (film from a way back, probably showing my age)

Peck? Rusedki?

I like it - it's a good name
