OT :Name of the week

And the winer is:

One of the residents, antiques dealer Boudica Scherazade,


For some context:

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Speedgazebo

I'd be impressed if she hadn't been christened as "Mary Brown".

Or, quite possibly "John Brown".

 

For runner up, I'd like to nominate a long-lost distant relative:

Worthy Cleverly. (1855-56)

 

I'm reading the book "D-Day" by Stephen Ambrose (for possibly the 5th
time) and I've got to the bit where they're talking about this
gentleman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Geoffrey_Pine-Coffin

In the book, a private is meant to send a message and asks if Pine
Coffin is a code name.

 

Heh. Certainly in the '80s, 'Boxwood' was a genuine codename, so maybe
it originated from much earlier and that's why he got confused.

 

There certainly was. Especially at "our" end of the scale.

Oddly, it seems that should one reach five years of age, then 70 or
more was easily achievable. All of it horrible, no doubt.

 

This week's entry, from the famtree:

Bathsheba Middleditch

Honourable mention: Fanny Bones

 

not relatives, but cow-orkers in the past have included:

Anal Patel (yes, that spelling)

and a certain Monsieur A. Homo.

 

My Dear Reggie...

 

One of my cow-orkers was "Javier Juanca"

 

A lady called "Rosemary Bone".

Not in itself funny but her network logon was "boner".

 

We've got lots of "Poo" in mexico.

 

lots in Dubai
