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.

My friend worked with a guy called Richard Headon when he was in a mood every one called him 'Dick'

Dick Head on

[northlondoner]

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.

Worth pointing out what Powergen origionally called themselves when they went into the Italian market......

PowergenItalia........I kid you not........

[Huguenot]

I think it wasn't the Powergen that we know, it was an Italian Battery maker - but it is true.

Pen Island make custom batches of branded Biros - 500+ an order: http://www.penisland.net/

I worked for Dr Dong once. Some girls went past his office, giggling.....I had to explain why.

[RosieH]

The podiatrist at ESPH is called Mr Trebilcock - I know it's childish to laugh, the man is clearly a legend...

I recently received a letter from the marketing director of Thames Water.

His surname is Tempest.

Is he taking the piss or what?

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!

[woofmarkthedog]

You...

..know, a bus ( not mine ) full of people stopped at the bus stop

I didn't catch any of the names BUT I'm sure they were "hiliarious"

I can vouch for the Danish oil company - took a photo of this while in Denmark last year and wondered who in their right mind would want to ride about in a balloon with 'Dong' on it...

[ImpetuousVrouw]

I remember a client called Happy Pratt a few years back.

[expat]

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'

I've just discovered a Dutch colleague in our company called Cock Overbeek.

[ruffers]

My last place had someone in a Dutch office with the surname Titarsole.

[edcam]

A friend who is an actors' agent and was dealing with a Dutch advertising agency when one of her clients shot a commercial. The guy at the agency was called Randi Bugge.

[omniprescient]

I had a colleague at a former workplace called Dick Everard.

(I wonder if Dick Everard is related to Randi Bugge?)

[gwod]

I went to school with a girl called Ophelia Balls.

[lillyanginger]

I once dealt with a supplier by the name of 'Peter Pan' - made us all smile at work...
