A piece in the Guardian today about Huddersfield. Mostly boring, but Mr and Mrs Ankers, why would you?
Wayne Ankers, the editor of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, thinks the town has to stop obsessing. “We shouldn’t be thinking about Leeds. We’ve got to put our own stamp on things. It’s a problem for Leeds not us.”

I don't think his parents realised how cruel kids can be and they set the poor fucker up for a shitty school life. He's a nice bloke, but now in his 50's everyone still calls him Dick. |

It's like calling your kids Tiger Lilly, or Peaches, although that doesn't seem so odd nowadays. |

I knew one of two twins who worked at Consett steelworks, who obviously had parents with a sense of humour.
The twin I knew was called Stan Dover.
His twin brother was Ben.
(Not a word of a lie.)

The first amusing corporate directory entry I had forwarded to me was for Randy P. Ennis. He may have actually been Randy P Ennis III .

The wife worked in a prison with an officer called Mike Hunt and used to love calling him on the radio:
"Mike Hunt, Mike Hunt, come in Mike Hunt"
And a prisoner was sick of calling the screws sir he changed his last name to Sir so they had to call it him 😬

Named all their kids with names beginning with P. Paul, Peter and Phillipa are the ones I can remember but there were about 5 or 6 of them. Poor bastards. |

My best buddy at school was called Rob Banks. Also when I worked for IBM we had 2 guys who did customer presentations together called Barry Cheese and Graham Onions. Gospel truth although Graham called himself O..Nions, the pretentious twat!

Does anyone remember obscure Stoke trialist Ivor Hunt? Caused a few guffaws in the crowd when he came on as a sub. Similar childish laughing also greeted the inclusion of Shittu and Doudou in the same QPR team, I think Doudou was number two as well  |
