His name? Dick Quax! :lol:

Reminds me of the two guys in the nudist colony having a chat...

1st guy: I say, is that Dick Green over there?

2nd guy: No, I think it is blue with the cold.

"This guy"!!! Were you asleep or watching Playschool when he was running at the Olympics?

Trevor :)I ain't young, nor old. But as for "poor fella", I should've used my original word... unfortunate. I mean really, imagine waking up in the morning with a name like that!

Me neither. I remember him at the Olympics, just sort of a household name....I thought:confused:

One of the Popes, Celestine II, from memory, his real name was Hyacinthus Bobo. I wouldn't say that was an unfortunate name; just interesting.

Me neither.
Quax is a Dutch surname.
Wonder what Greg's surname is?
