Hello, I'm Gay

[gettin2dizzy]

Gay Richardson, West Anstey
I have great problems with my name - for some 20 years since it became the accepted name for a male homosexual I can't introduce myself as "Hello I'm Gay" without a smirk. I often have serious problems with sending or receiving e-mails as they are blocked by a spam filter which obviously has decided that I am writing something undesirable

Mine used to get me funny looks.

No-one's bothered me since I came to London - guess it's cos we're multicultural down here.

If I had 10 pence for every time someone said, "What Dirk as in Bogard/Benedict/Diggler" I would have 13 1/2 pence by now.

My full name is:

Dirk Gérard Kinvig (I've never had an official document returned to me i.e. new passport with an accent on the e).

My cousin went to school with a lad called Russel Sprout, poor bugga :D

[Spiderman]

Errrr...everyone who knows me calls me Zig so you can imagine the number of times unoriginal people have said "Got a brother called Zag have you?" :roll: and this wasn't just when the Zig & Zag puppets were at the height of their game on the big breakfast etc.

i still get it from time to time which is really dull.

[DoubleD]

I know a Mary Christmas

[dissuade]

I went to school with a girl called Anna Rack. The poor lass was in tears at every prize-giving assembly. Legend had it she had a sister called Ruth.

Then again, glass houses - thanks to my parents naming me Mary-Jane, I have lost count of the number of Spiderman, Cypress Hill and drugs jokes made at my expense. Gee, I have heard them all.

[Steve_God]

I knew someone many years ago called 'Jennifer Taylor', aka, 'Jenny Taylor', aka, 'Genitalia'.

Why are parents so mean?

[Pedro68]

I'm sure some parents just never wanted to be parents :rolleyes:

My surname is Hughes, and I was going through school at the time of "Boys from the Blackstuff" and "yozzer 'ughes" ... thankfully, I didn't get much of that, but my brother did ..... "gissa job ... go on mister, I can do that ... I can paint white lines .... go on ... gissa job" :rolleyes:

Mind you ... pails into insignificance compared to some ;-)

[squirrel_hunter]

My mother told me that she went to school with a Teresa Green.

And in a previous job I had to make a telephone call to a Mr Gary ******, how I made it through the answer phone message is beyond me.

[sinbad]

At school I knew somebody whose cousin was blessed with the name Edward Kedd, or Eddie Kedd as he was known by childish dimwits, like me :), for obvious reasons. Poor fella.

[missyburd]

forgot to mention: the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was Gaylord Focker from 'Meet the Fockers' :lol: such a funny film!

There is a shop in Manchester that makes me chuckle every time I go past it, 'Gordon Bennett' (am guessing that's the name of the bloke who owns it... )

[plowsie]

Plows, plows the field. Heard um once I've heard them a million times :-)

Funny thing was that when we moved into a new house on a new estate, the lady who did the showroom goes, you ain't gonna like the street name - Farmers Close :-D

[glsuk1970]

The last place I worked had a supplier rep called Joe King - "How much?? You must be Joe King!"

Mildly amusing the first time you hear it, soon got very tedious though.

[Pedro68]

I once got a phone call from a Rick O'Shea (seriously!) ... the guy is (or was) an account manager for IBM ... only I didn't know this at the time, thought it was my boss winding me up and told him politely to "do one" :oops:
