Still blows my mind that Max Factor makeup is named after a bloke.

Loads of these are fake, right? “My cousin’s step-daughter’s mum’s colleague taught someone called…”

Is this 2003?

I know someone called Twinkle as well, can’t be that many about surely? I’d be surprised if there’s more than a handful in the UK. Did her surname begin with T too by any chance?

That’s what they call a LAD in New Zealand.

I’ve mentioned this before on the old boards but most people from Aylesbury will know the curse of the most unlikely sounding brother and sister combo ever - names so ridiculous sounding that prior to mobile phones making it easy to verify the facts I wouldn’t even mention it when I was speaking to people, as it just seemed like the most obvious outlandish bullshit ever and no one would ever believe you. Thankfully these days the first hit for his name when you search is a court report from the local newspaper.

Anyway, I give you local Aylesbury legends Everard Dick and his sister Ophelia Dick.

Anyone else study History or Archaeology at The University of Manchester circa 2005?

We had a Dr. Fear, with wide staring eyes and a big white moustache.

I used to work with a Dr James Bond.

There was a James Bond in my junior school. What were their parents thinking? I like to imagine if he gets pulled over by the police;
“Name?”
“James Bond”
“Oh really, wiseguy eh? Book 'im Sarge!”
