I listen to radio 2 a fair bit at the moment and the news presenter in the morning always introduces herself as what I hear as "Vanilla Fudge" ! Finally got round to doing a search and found her real name, Fenella Fudge, love it! :smt043Wonder if it's her real name or just a mickey take....? Made me chuckle anyway. Any other daft names you've heard recently?

I was hugely priviliged to be present when the "Hugh Jass" gag was sprung on one of my old bosses. Being a nightclub owner (that also had live bands playing regularly) he was always bustling around and totally harassed. He crashed into the office one day and immediately started on his "call back" list which the assistant manager would compile during the day...
*roll number five callback*
"Hi there, is that Hugh?"
<inaudible answer fro the other end of the line>
"Well can I speak to him please, it's Robert caling him back"
"Hugh. H-U-G-H."
"Hugh Jass..? He tried to call me earlier?"
"No I'm not f***ing winding you up"
"Listen pal, I'm a busy man and you're wasting my ti..."

"...someone's taking ***t out of me, aren't they..?"
He took it well considering... we were all back on full pay by January... ;) :lol:
