I'm not aware of any other Afinkawans. And I was named after Marc Bolan, which is why it's spelt with a 'c'.

And of course you also share the name Marc with a celebrated novelist.

Has Marc Almond written a novel then?

Not so much a novel as an autobiography:

I used to hate Griff Rhys-Jones. I saw him live doing comedy a couple of times and he was useless. But I quite like him now he's just a grumpy old man who makes travel shows and novels.

Gruff (which is actually how my name is spelt on passport, birth cert etc) from the Super Furry Animals is great, can't complain there.

Your name suits you. :)

I've been pretty lucky in that there are no famous chipolata's to bring shame on my name.

I don't think you need any help on that.

Zzziiiinggg!

Didn't Stephen Fry write about the Grifalloe?

I share the same monicker as that f**king bear with the wand. I hate him so very, very much.

I was trying to think of bears with Sooty's other, but not necessarily real name.

And don't forget Prince Charles's polo playing mate.

The Butler he f**ked was called Griff?
