Whenever I hear her I always think - How could her parents have done that?

They didn't, she married into it. Before she married her surname was Hadingham.

There's a man in my local phonebook whose name is Mr Duffdick. That always makes me laugh.

From today's news:

SOUTH WINDSOR — - A 35-year-old man with the eye-catching name of Almighty Supremeborn Allah was arraigned in Manchester Superior Court on Friday.

Allah, of 119 Elmhurst St. in West Hartford, was charged with reckless driving, disobeying an officer's signal, interfering with an officer, criminal attempt to sell cocaine and criminal attempt to possess cocaine, said police, who reported that Almighty Supremeborn Allah is his real name.

Police said they began looking for Allah after receiving a tip Thursday around 8 p.m. that he would be in South Windsor for a drug transaction. An officer spotted Allah in his car on John Fitch Boulevard and tried pulling him over, police said. Allah initially refused to stop, but pulled over within a mile from where he was first seen, police said.

He was convicted in 2006 of possession of narcotics and disorderly conduct.

There is an announcer and newsreader on BBC Radio 2 called Fenella Fudge.

I wonder if she ever keeps them hanging on for the news?

I thought you were just being dry until I read it out loud.

I think she wanted to be an actress, IIRC.

I work in IT, and it's common practice for user names to be made up of people's surnames and initials, until Lorraine Buckingham.

BuckinL is not a great user name :)
