| 323658 | 2005-02-10 20:57:00 | Most amusing Andrew. Indeed I've just copied the list to email to various lucky folk. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 323659 | 2005-02-10 23:26:00 | What about real people's names and the occupations they are in? Every now and then I come across one, like the fireman on TV not long ago whose surname was Burns. :D Can't think of any more off the top of my head at the moment but there are plenty out there. :p |

| 323660 | 2005-02-11 00:58:00 | It may seem funny, but you have to think about what names are., and how they started. John Smith was a smith -- a metal worker. The Miller family supplied the village's flour. Henry Cooper made barrels. The Iron Lady's hubby's forebears did roofs -- the Thatchers. |

| 323661 | 2005-02-11 01:29:00 | Good point Graham. I wonder what Mr Cockburn did? :) | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 323662 | 2005-02-11 02:49:00 | Or even my old schoolmaster, Mr Woodcock. :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 323663 | 2005-02-11 03:01:00 | I have come across a Mr Heifer who was boarding with a Mrs Bullock... True. | John H (8) | ||
| 323664 | 2005-02-11 04:16:00 | Or even my old schoolmaster, Mr Woodcock. :cool: Not Sandy Woodcock by any chance?? |

| 323665 | 2005-02-11 04:51:00 | Speaking of names and jobs, I'm not sure if these names (www.namehumor.com/) are real but some are quite amusing. As for Mr Stroker (http:), well .... the less said the better. :D Pop quiz : who can remember the name of the poor poor fellow who lived in Market Road, Auckland who delisted his number after getting many many phone calls after his listing was aired on Holmes a few years ago? |

| 323666 | 2005-02-11 05:04:00 | "Foot Problems of Big Lumberjacks by Paul Bunion" Reminds me of the days when I was an avid reader of Damon Runyon, and Joe The Joker who went around giving people the 'hot foot'. The hot foot was a match surreptitiously inserted under ones toes when wearing open toed shoes, then ignited. |
