    Strange Names

    We were watching the news tonight and the name Sheila Dikshit came on the screen and caused a few stifled giggles.

    She's the Delhi Chief Minister and Ken Livingstone has recently met her on his travels.

    Anyone got any more they can add to the list?

    Re: Strange Names

    The one that made me splutter was a woman at my former place of work by the name of Ms Backholer.

    Then there was the guest at that hotel my ex worked in, whose surname was Toplover.

    In my last job I had a colleague called Carol Singer (I didn't even notice it for a while!)

    Not a person's name, but I remain amused by Wankdorf in Switzerland.

    Oh, and only recently I discovered that the word "lund", as spoken in "London", "England", "Scotland", etc, is slang for "penis" in Hindi.

    When I was in the RAF I remember someone's kids were getting stick in school as their surname was Hitler.

    It was published in station orders that all departments had to update their records as he'd now changed his family name to: Shitler!

    True story.



    Actually it may have been from Shitler to Hitler but it doesn't make a lot of difference.

    I love Switzerland. On my first visit, I came across a place, "Pension Rosi Fritzenwanker". I have a photo to prove it. I wonder who Fri......

    When I was a kid I went on a youth-group type holiday thing to Europe. In Holland there was a shop called Tits! Which had us all laughing.

    Then around the corner there was a one called Twin Tits (may have been Twen Tits) and then after laughing at that, further on there was a shop called Fanny!

    Again, true story.

    There was a boy in my sister's year at school called Hassan Fuku. Pronounced "fuck you". Seriously.

    My school chemistry teacher was called Mr Sparks. (He looked like Dick Van Dyke and wore a bow-tie and I will never forget him.)

    We also had a geography teacher called Mrs Field and a PE Instructor called Mrs Young. Oh, and Mr French taught English.

    There was a guy at work called Richard Head (what were his parents thinking about?), and somebody else there had a son whose name was Justin Case. I also knew someone named Gould, who called her daughter Kerry.

    As for products, I once had a little aerosol thingy for de-icing car door locks which was called "Super Piss", made in Finland. And many years ago, on holiday in Spain, I bought a packet of cheesy potato snacks called - well you probably wouldn't believe me, so here's a scan of the packet.
