Athletics are such pathetically mundane sports. Really... what's the bloody purpose of being able to run fast unless it has a proper and actual benefit, such as when a rugby wing outruns the opposition's fullback and scores a try?	Greg (193)
581044	2007-08-15 12:59:00	Or when a lion goes on a rampage. Then who would be laughing? Not this fatman.:D	Metla (12)
581045	2007-08-16 02:34:00	I'll tell you via PM if you swear to privacy. :thumbs: Hhmm... Interesting. But, nah, where's the fun in that? My question only works if your answer can be open to "general attack." (To atone for you saying putting the clock right doesn't matter...)	Laura (43)
581046	2007-08-16 02:53:00	Hhmm... Interesting. But, nah, where's the fun in that? My question only works if your answer can be open to "general attack." Hmm... I forgive and respect you for your dotage.	Greg (193)
581047	2007-08-16 03:06:00	Hmm... I forgive and respect you for your dotage. To hell with the respect. I might settle for a repeat of that chilli recipe from wayback? At least that would raise the tone of this thread. Important stuff, food...	Laura (43)

You can sign up for it at football.guardian.co.uk. Anyway, they had a thing going a while back where people were e-mailing them and submitting the funniest names they'd come across, and I've cut and pasted some of them below. They're supposed to be real, but who knows? "I used to work with a man called Sidney Pye," writes Sean Morriati. "Nothing unusual there, only his wife was called Kate. Can anyone beat Kate and Sidney Pye?" "That's nothing," writes Tim Birch. "A mate at University went to school with Russell Sprout, and my dad taught Tommy Gunn." "I was mates at school with Simon Hole," brags Matt Prior, "and while that's not comic gold, he went on to marry a girl called Heidi." "My ex-girlfriend, a hairdresser, has a client called Terry Bull," says Pete Bell. "I went to school with two brothers: Duncan Hiscock and his brother Paul," scoffs Stewart Boyle, pulling us ever closer to the gutter. "A colleague of mine has an aunt who recently got married to a fellow called Mr Tickle," snorts Dan Riley, though that's not the gag. "Jokes about Mr Men abound obviously, but pale into insignificance alongside the fact that her first name is Tess." "I did my National Service in South Africa in the Artillery Brigade," writes Steve Moor. "And one of my colleagues went by the name Antonio Rea. Nothing too funny about that, you may think, except that once we'd completed our basic training, our rank changed from Recruit to Gunner. Gunner Rea had more incentive than most of us to then achieve a higher rank." "Many years ago I dated a young lady called Geraldine Royds" writes Stevie G from New Zealand. "She had a sister called Emma." "My friend Michael works for BT," begins Paul Bailey. "His colleague is called Mr Sherunkle. His first name is Robert. He likes to be known as Bob Sherunkle. And another friend swears he went to school with Orson Cart." "We had a teacher at school called Mrs Forward," says Ian Payne. "Trust me when I tell you that we discovered her first name was Eileen, no word of a lie." And last, and most certainly least, Chris Cotton says, "My mate at college was called Dwayne, surname Pipe."
