jaybee82 - funny topic!


A few years ago I used to have a contact at work that I never got to meet in person. His name was 'Rob Storm'.


So.......every time we spoke on the phone, I couldn't help but visualise him in a superhero costume :-S


*imagines RS in extremely tight-fitting black lycra tights and leotard with a fluorescent yellow lightning bolt emblazoned across the chest*


ps. Rob, if you're reading this. Sorry.

Recently interviewed a Glen Gaydar. His business partner was Dr Kariyuki-prnounced karaoke. Plus as a lamentably un-pc black person, I invite you to google the name of the guy who may become Nigeria's new vice president. Also google the name of the joint gas/oil project that country has set up with Russia's Gazprom. Shame on me.
I know of someone who keeps a list of interesting patient names we come into contact at work (a local Emergency Dept) because their local I really can't share any full names on here, but we've seen some stunners - have seen several Channel's when I think their parents were aiming for Chanel!

yes the Danish oil company is called DONG it stands for Dansk Olie og Natur Gas makes perfect sense really.


'slut' og 'slutspurt' are other Danish words which seems to cause some hilarity.


A story, perhaps not true, is that the English Queen visited Denmark and they put stickers on the lifts she was going to use as all Danish lifts have signs saying 'i fart'

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
