You really should acknowledge stories when you copy them verbatim from Guido's site, Iain...
ReplyDeleteBest thing I heard all day. Is she already working in her professional capacity with the Oaten family? I gather Mark requested her personally.
ReplyDeleteYes, I distinctly heard him say, "This is a disaster, I must have Ruff-Cock"
Inamicus, where is it on Guido's site? I can't see it. I was actually emailed it by a friend who works on a leftie magazine!
ReplyDeleteWhats so funny about the name Ruff-Cock?
ReplyDeleteI have a very good friend in Rome called....

Must be doing the rounds, then...
I have just looked at Guido's site and the newest entry concerns Gordon Brown and gay rights at 4.58pm. This is very strange...

How do you get onto that bit of Guido's site as I can't seem to find it?
Mrs Weasel reminded me that there is a chlamydia researcher called Kimberly Crotchfelt.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this qualifies for some sort of award for nominative determinism.
I once met a barristers clark whose surname was King, and his delightful parents had chosen to christen him Wayne. Poor sod!
ReplyDeleteI ran it - then pulled it.
ReplyDeleteIain must have got the same email. He just ran with it later. Tip to tipsters: We both try to avoid doing the same stories.
Wish the same could be said for the Sun's The Whip column, the Standard's Londoner's Diary and Ephraim Harcastle in the Daily Mail.
There used to be a press officer for the European Parliamentary Labour Party, who was called, I kid you not, Paul Twococks
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a Conservative councillor in Harrow called Owen Cock. His mother, who was also a councillor, had remarried and was Mrs Nott-Cock.
ReplyDeleteI used to work for the online gambling company PartyGaming. One of the Directors and co-founders is an Indian businessman called A Dikshit.
ReplyDeleteHowever he is a billionaire, so I guess he's not too bothered.

Peter your introduction story made me laugh out loud repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteColleague of mine was at a school with a Jody Crotchtangle. Might explain the Rough-Cox.
ReplyDeleteI have a business card from a Mr. Vukov somewhere.
But all silly names contests die on their arse when confronted with the ultimate - Mr. Bum-Suk Poo. He couldn't understand why he got through so many business cards either...
Marquee Mike, perhaps you could contact B-S P to say that the Lib Dems are seeking more ethnic minority representation in Parliament and there is a vacancy coming up in Winchester?
ReplyDeleteOh dear Oh dear Oh dear!! I think the lady really ought to change her name.
