Actually purely based on Korky The Cat in the Dandy I'd have to agree with TM here. Talk about crap, about as funny as Desperate Dan, and in some of the strips he looked a right headcase.

Sorry to go OT, but can we please reveal the legend of how Gordon Sumner got his nickname for the utter elephant toss it almost certainly is. He's rehearsing with some seasoned Geordie jazzers and he regularly wears a yelllow and black hooped tank top. So the 'lads' chide him for this, reckoning he looks like a bee and therefore bestow the name 'Sting' on him. In a pig's eye they did. I reckon they would have named him 'Bumble' or 'Hives' or 'BollockChops' anything but something as cool as Sting. It's never rung true for me.

On the other hand they have to take some responsibility for Sting. The ones responsible are probably bad bees from the wrong side of the hive.

Surely one of the lamest threads ever.

Yes, better than Stuntma, though? Good luck.

And what about Honey Bane of the Fatal Microbes and later The Poison Girls have called herself? 'Marmite' Bane? Marmalade Bane? Jammy Bane? Actually Jammy Bane isn't half bad, now I come to think of it.

Or Nut Rocker by B Bumble And The Stingers.

That Dr Pepper one where the fellow goes to pick up his date and ends up rolling round on the floor with her father. Always cracked me up. I think it was as good as it was to distract from the fact that the drink itself is utter pish.

A real heart stringer tugger alright BBW, that one never got stale either.

Or indeed the group Bees Make Honey.

Don't play anything Will. but could I suggest 'Stuntman' as a name for the group. Always fancied the idea of a group called 'Stuntman' Think about it. 'Stuntman'.

The one for the fruit pastilles with the manic Scotsman dancing to Lord Rockingham' XV. Never gets stale. HOOTS MAAN THERE'S JUICE LOOSE ABOOT THIS HOOSE. Priceless.

All seems doubleplusungood to me.

Absolute poppycock Matthew, bees are our friends. Without them, no honey, no 'the birds and the bees' (and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above, and a thing called love), no Honey Monster adverts with John Cooper-Clarke, no Eric the half-bee, and what would poor old Rupert Brooke have done, 'is there jam still for tea? Sandwich spread?. No Matthew you're confusing bees with wasps who are utter bastards. They only exist to spoil picnics and frighten small children and hysterical adults. Get a grip, man.

Unlucky for sum, eh? A baker's dozen of whatever it is you fancy does you good. Yeah right. Inner circle? I'm number 6, like the old fags.
