Chatting to a mate in the William Morris about the demise of old English names that denoted a person's occupation.
Bob Archer, Harry Shepherd, Bill Fletcher etc.
He said these days it would be Sharon Shoplifter and Jayden Phonesnatcher.
I dunno.

Mrs Nombre has a fondness for browsing old gravestones for unusual details. We're walking out Amersham way and take a diversion round an old churchyard by way of a water stop. Meeting back by the lychgate, she asks me,

'Did you see that one for James Puddephatt?',

Not missing a beat,

'Well, I tawt I taw a Puddephatt'.

Ben Dover...the sun always shines when he's around.


I was at a gig where he played guest drums for Guns2Roses.

It was a really good gig.
I was having a ciggie outside he was being interviewed by someone.
A car pullled up "Its uncle Ben" He gave a nod.

‘Mad Chicken’ Farmers - obscure north-western bloodline of the ancient Farmer dynasty. Bit of an embarrassment so not generally mentioned in polite company.
