Hello LL ~ Long time, no see. Sorry 'bout the pong ... any chance of a bath later?

I once knew a guy whose parents, a Mr and Mrs Hicken, had called him Christopher and at school one poor lad by name of Woodcock was known to one and all (masters included) as Oakhampton ~ but I went to that sort of school. (BM will explain if necessary)

We had a Bill Woodcock use to come into the office where I worked in the early 80's. My colleague always use to pipe up, here comes timber-dick

Many moons ago, Mrs JOM use to have a manager called Richard Head

Pure as the driven snow I should guess.

Could have been described in my youth as pure as newly fallen snow  cry: now after eons of exposure to BM influences no more 'slush' like - or is that just my brain  sad24:

If only half of the stories about Baldy's special recipie home brew are true then odds are it will be the grey matter thats gone a little slushy I'm afraid  happy100

Similar to Richard Sole - loved it when he was tannoyed for a telephone call as the switchboard operators (using one of those big plug and play types) called him as follows:-

''Telephone call for Mr. Sole - Mr. R. Sole please contact the switchboard''

It's true - it really really is !

That's rather like the classic I was told about by a friend who used to work for one of the big supermarkets.

One day, they had a phone call - not realising it was hoax, the girl on the customer service desk made the following broadcast announcement to the whole store:


We have a small child lost in the store. His name is Michael Hunt, so, if anyone sees Mike Hunt, would they please come to Customer Services and ask for ****** ****!


Many eyebrows were, apparently, raised.
