Unfortunate Names

Over 30 years ago I worked with a guy called Wayne King, luckily for him he had dyed bleach blonde hair. He was known as Domestos.

I used to live a few houses away from an Anne Glynn. Dad must have been a keen fisherman.

I know a Gordon Bennet & a James Robin Banks

Mike Hunt
Phil McKrakin

Betty Swollocks

Richard Head

Ben Dover and let's not forget the famous author of "Sliding Down Banisters", R. Stornaway.

Bizarrely, I have known both a Wayne King and Richard head which have both already been mentioned.

My sister's friend is called Jo King

One of my old bosses was David Watts (All Mod Cons - The Jam)

I used to work for a company who had an area manager called Jenny Taylor. As she was something of a humourless harridan, she was always referred to as Genitalia whenever she was out of earshot.

Annette Kurten.

Dismas Chiti.
A nice old guy who brought me tea in the morning when I was working in a company in Africa.
He preferred the old pre-independence days when the Brits took no sh1t.

That David Watts character must gave got around a bit, what with Ray Davies singing about him a full decade before The Jam did.

When I first met my wife, she would say things like "Look at that big gas fly" when referring to a bluebottle.
As she wasn't born in the UK I assumed Gas fly was a local term. It was only much later when I realised what she was really saying.

There was a story a few years back about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church,it was in the guardian or one of the other broadsheets. Serious topic,unfortunately  undermined by the name of the author of the piece. Roger boyes

I was friends with the Down family from Liverpool....

Neal and Ben were always fighting which was usually broken up by the more laid back brother Cam. The mother Isa was always at the bingo.

My Dad was adamant that I would be christened Aloysius but Mum wasn't having any of it Dad called me Aloysius anyway though throughout my entire life!
