in honour of sensible names like Alan..

[Geoffrey]

...I'm going to be Geoffrey for a bit

Yes, Frank is a good, solid name. I have it in mind for any little Reginalds.

most of the sensible names have gone!
Who's got Arnold? And Arthur? And Cedric FFS!

Ah finally got one. Thank's to DH's dear departed Grandad for the inspiration. All my Grandad's, Great Uncles etc already gone. Actually I might see if my FIL is available.

someone had got FIL as well.

My grandfathers were called Reginald and Bernard. Good, proper, solid, reliable names.

Who the bloody hell has got Adrian (my FIL)?

Neville - that is my FIL as well. I just tried to get it and it was gone.

my grandfathers were William David and Thomas William - extremely sensible names

DHs were called Howard and William

I feel the need to wear a cardigan now.

yes I need a pipe, some slippers and some argyle socks please

What do the owners of such sensible names actually talk about?

erm racing, cars, golf, gardening?

Ah yes. My runner beans are coming along nicely, although I had a spot of bother with blackfly on my broad beans

this as my first boyfriend's name .
oddly enough, he was fabulous at oral sex.

I had a boyfriend called Keith too: he shit the bed

Harold's up for grabs now reminded me too much of harold from neighbours.

Keith ! Reginald !

Has anyone seen any especially fine cathedrals recently?

lol - my DS2 is called Alan after my brother (DH's choice!} and it is strange how children with 'old man names just grow into them!

I lost my virginity to a Kevin

(now all the people whose DPs/DHs are called Kevin will tell me I'm horrible)

Keith Chegwin was my first pin up . I was 6 though

I'm back to harold now as someone's got fred and thought they were too similar. I'm getting a bit obsessed with this now!

someone had ralph!

Nevermind Bert old chap, Chin up.

I really like those corduroy slippers I got for my birthday, they go really well with my aran sweater and polyester slacks. I know it's a bit hot in this weather, but I do like to look smart.

i lost my virginity to a colin!

Now, now bert we won't be 'avin any of that talk there might be ladies in the room.
