Unusual names

I was pitching something (well pimping myself out) to some bigwigs at a new infrastructure project a couple of years back. Part of my pitch was a website that had CVs on it. I had asked the guy back at the office to enter the CV of our first applicant on the site as a demonstration. I hadn?t checked it, just linked to it directly from my presentation.


So there I am in the glass walled meeting room, all wood-effect tables and those vertical blinds, you know the sort. I?m strutting my stuff, interfacing, flashing a smile, showing a bit of leg and powerpointing like a good?un. I clicked through to the CV website and after a few more minutes proactive corporate synergy I looked over my shoulder to see that the words MR P MYCOCK were emblazoned across the screen behind me.


I probably could have got away with it too if I hadn?t started to giggle like a schoolgirl.

I used to deal with a picture agency in Manchester where my contact was Wayne Ankers....

And there is also a chap in Liverpool who owns a studio called Wing Wong.....

Makes me smile every time I have to ring him!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
