Biggy Bender - Great politician name

Was walking in Stuttgart yesterday and saw a poster that said Joschka Fischer was coming to town and bringing with him someone called (snigger snigger) Biggy Bender.

Excellent name!! Biggy Bender

Names are wonderful things. I used to know someone with surname "Lovatt", who married a "Standing". She was into this hyphernated name stuff and became
Mrs. Lovatt-Standing! I bet she did! wacko.gif

She must be the local GrĂ¼n candidate for Cannstatt - I get to drive past her photo/poster every day and I must admit it makes me snigger every morning... Biggi Bender indeed!

She looks terribly stern in the poster, like she'd give you a good telling off if you spoke out of line (I can well imagine her asking "Would you like to share the joke with the whole class?") and her hair's totally grey now.

None of which goes at all with her ludicrous name... is Biggi really an official name in Germany???

Okay, if we're on the subject of silly names...

I used to teach a Rudi Wanker. (fnarr fnarr!)

Unbelievable but true..

Michelle Wanklin and Justine Mycock

So the joke used to be.. say it quickly ( in a BlackCountry accent )

Michells's Justine Wanklin Mycock..

This is true. I used to know a girl in Hong Kong... Fanny Pong.
And my old girlfriend's dad, who never lied, told me he had a friend when he was at school called Honour Potty (makes you reassess Honour Blackmans's parents' wisdom, doesn't it?)

And for any jazz piano players, the formost theory instruction books are produced by a man named Dick Hyman. It was a bit hard at age 12 to keep a straight face when my teacher told me to by his books.

Betty Sollocks and Mary Hinge were favourites when I was at school, but sadly ficticious.

I remember a bumper sticker with two birds of the Parus species sitting on a fruit of the Cucumis melo species, with the heading, "Tits like melons"

Wether it was correct I can't say!

I don't think so. Ginger is a popular American girls name, the word minge does not have the same connotation that it does in the UK, a bit like the word fanny meaning bum. My friend's Husband made that sad mistake shortly after they met and told her she had a nice fanny! :doh: She was not amused

Not only does she have a scary name, she also has a scary face! Ginger minge that is not my friend!!

So she didn't take it as a compliment then? You can't please some women!
