    I once worked with two gynaecologists, one was name Butcher and the other, with a real pop-star look about him, was called Mr Vas (It's an anatomical term vas deferens - look it up on Google to see why it was an appropriate name for a gynae guy - but not if you're shy or easily offended!)

    I went to school with a girl named Lucille Laskey she soon became Lucy Lastic, I also once worked with a lady called Theresa Greene, but what I wish most is that Albert Einstein`s parents had had a sense of humour then they could have named their son Frank. David.

    There is a reporter on the TV called Julia Ceasar. I knew a guy named Adrian Wall. I don't suppose anyone knows a man called Hugh Jampton?
