Malcolm Powder

[Bbbananas]

If someone told you this was their name, would you believe him? Or would you think there was the teeniest bit of a wind-up here? Or maybe his mother just had a great sense of humour?

[sn�gs]

What parallel universe do you live in lol...

[sara3]

I confess, it took about a minute for the penny to drop :o)

My OH works in a bank and sometimes when sorting out old files in the vault he amuses himself by looking for amusing names of customers.He has genuinely found a Richard Head and a Fanny Batter amongst the old customers..lol

[daffy654]

[NoMercy]

I always liked Mike Hunt, well I would I guess if I had one.....

[daffy654]

I once went out with a bloke called Mark Hunt,his brother's name was Mike (*-*)

[ChuckFickens]

I used to have to deal with a customer called Mr ***********, I laughed every time because he insisted it was pronounced tripe-all-coh

[ChuckFickens]

S'pose I should have known that Tripplec0ck was going to be starred out!

Everton had a guy playing for them in the 60's called
Mike Trebilc0ck. The supporters took a bit of a ribbing over him !!!!!!

[Bbbananas]

We have a Mr Minge (he pronounces it Min-gay). I bit like Hyacinth Bucket calling herself Bouquet.
We also had a Fanny Payne, God rest her soul.

I asked it sqad cos I've just been speaking to a chap on the telephone who gave his name as Malcolm Powder. When I sniggered, he said "Huh, I always get that reaction". He says that is his real name, I'm a bit doubtful.

[Sqad]

salla/daffy.......oh! right.

[rabbitygirl]

I still have a quiet laugh to myself over my, usually smart, sister in laws choice of a tenant.......called himself Roberto Ferrari! Of course. Ended up not being Italian, disappearing without paying the rent and his one room needing a weeks cleaning.

Btw, if anyone likes a good laugh over funny names there is a paperback book out there featuring actual names from gravestones and parish records etc. which will have you howling for hours!

[daffy654]

Do you know the name of the book at all rabbitygirl? my OH would love it!

[NoMercy]

What's the book called, Rabbity?

[moonshadow]

I once worked with a Mr John Thomas a specialist in vasectomy reversal. Lots of the patients thought it was a wind up.

[Bbbananas]

I know of a consultant called Mr A Bismil.

(By all accounts, he lives up to his name... of course that could be heresay, rumour, slander, untrue......) Oh Gawd, don't want to get into trouble..
