There was a minor band on the student circuit in the 70s called Far
Canal.

I saw one, years ago... F15TFK.

It raised a chortle...

 

My team once implemented a project called "Far Queue" when a group or
surly sysadmins refused to put a print spooler on the box we wanted...
that went down well but I don't think they got it.

 

On a Golf near Bath: BEG 41 T

On a geekier note, I once set up a mail system where all the hosts were
named after chocolate bars. An outbound relay was called 'timeout',
which led to endless confusion on the support desk when they saw "host
timeout" in the logs. Ho ho ho.

 

Seen illegally parked near the Uni the other day -- C16ABY, but
the 1 was moved to within a mm of the C and trimmed to make them look like
an O, then a big space and the rest close together with a black bolt in
the gap of the 6 (and maybe some "shaping" as well) so that from any
distance it looks like "O BABY". It almost looked like he _wanted_ a Q-plate.

I wrote a system for a Anglo-French company that I wanted to call the "Next
Incoming Client Queue". The French weren't too happy using the acronymn
NICQ. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=nique+ta+mere (NSFW)

 

Was the SysAdmin's name Leslie Nielsen?

 

FrJack @ work says...

A mate and I saw a BMW 3 series coupe on the M1 one evening, occupants
looking camper than a row of pink temts - the registration was FEM 180Y,
with the 1 shoved close to the M and a large gap to the 8.

 

URN 8 lives on a Jaguar S-Type nowadays, previously seen on a Mk 5
Astra complete with elderly driver

 

Isn't it about time for someone to mention Steve Parrish?

 

When I bought my Audi, the salesgirl had a list of available
suffix's for my new registration.
She suggested I might like XXL
cheeky bitch.

 

Peter Jones wibbled:

What is it with Jag drivers - WOG 1 seen on a rather nice early
convertable at the Le Mans Classic this year.

I can only assume he doesn't work for The Race Relations lot

 

or his name is William Orlando Green

 

Shortly after I bought the ST I was flicking though the paper and saw
the list of regs. There was ST06 BXS. Suited the car, being an 06
plate ST and my uni login was BXS. But there's no way I'd put a
private plate on a car.

In fact, browsing the DVLA site reveals I could have ST06 BEN for a
grand.

My old Firestorm and my ex Jane's Rover. Both plates bought for a total
of 500 quid from DVLC's Select Registrations. I cba to buy a plate for
my Combo van.

 

When I acquired the Tart someone pointed out that V10XAN is still
available for 400 quid. Not sure it would work unless in a line - is
that allowed?

Oh wait a minute I see from the link above it must be...
