Bad Andy

So there's an awful lot of Ankers in Ashton, then?

BOOM BOOM!


Watch youreslf Mr C. Being from a key scally area in Manchester I'm not averse to dishing out a bruisin'. And it is Christmas after all.

Having said that I don't live there any more and everytime I go back I realise what a good decision that is.

I guess it's like my dad says about the Scottish (he is from Glasgow) - "The scots will do anything for their country but live there."

Remember a computer games called 'Lo Wang'.

It's a old ninja styled similar to Dukem Nukem.

Their catch phrase is 'You want some Wang'.

The name always gave me a bit of a chuckle.
 

House of Usher

"Curiously, I remember my schoolfriend David Davidson was ashamed of his middlename."

Why? Was it Dave?
STRIKE !!!

Oddboy

Better set your phaser to stun.

There is an Asian woman who works in a bank near me called..........Arica Shaw.

I always wanted to ask her if she rode to work on a rickshaw!
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

I was always amused by the producer of Cheers, MAry Fukuto.

I resigned in a strop from the comitee for my towns literary festival but I'll always have fond memories of Micheal Hunt particularly when the lady chairperson cut through the confused babble with a shrill cry of "We'd none of us be in this state if you'd pay more attention to Mike Hunt".

Mike Carroll

In my old workplace one of our managers would regularly phone up his mate Michael Hunt. The phone calls would always begin thus: "Hi, can I speak to Mike Hunt?"

Whereupon every single one of us would invariably think "only if you're a contortionist."

Mike C

Satanist

Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?

Woolly

Someone i know claims his old headmaster was called Bruce Swain.

ukdane

Not so much a name, but the Danish for speed is "fart", and there are electric street signs showing you the speed of you "Fart", and asking to keep you "fart ned" (speed down).

Whenever QE2 is visiting, they actually cover up these signs, as a mark of respect.

We had a french teacher at school called Mr. Hunt- so you can guess his nickname.
And a History teacher whose initials were C.R.A.P.

There is a computer company called WANG, years ago they were about to embark on a UK wide advertising campaign called 'WANG CARES" untill some bright spark noticed that the phonetics of the tag line wasn't really appropriate for a UK audience.
