Once was talking to a colleague at my last job. She starts saying something like ‘Oh, I had to go and collect Morrissey from a friend’s house last night which was why I missed the meeting’ or some shit, and I go ‘Oh, is Morrissey a cat or a dog?’, and she goes ‘no, thats my son’.

Once accidentally printed out a really horrible and pervy email for a well known radio presenter to read live on air when I was doing an internship at a radio station.

that’s weird must have been some kind of subconscious association and urge you had to do that

that’s gross

also like if you name your child after a specific famous person, you’re going to give them an inferiority complex right? There’s very little chance they will achieve the same “success” or social status as that person

Dunno man. Would consider calling my son say, Elvis over Morrissey. Depends on the celeb

Isn’t Elvis a fairly normal name in some countries though?

maybe his full name is Morris E. Child

I was served by Elvis when shopping at Sainsburys in Muswell Hill recently.

Woah… and I spoke to him when I phoned British Gas’s customer services just last week. Nice to know he’s got a few sidehustles going on in case the singing never really takes off.
