Names

Hey granjura...Mr Club was my consultant in the 70's.....and there was also a Mr Baker!

Ahaha - our daughter was born June 73 there. Yes, remember Mr Baker well too.

I knew someone called Lydia Kettle, also my swimming instructor was called Mr Crabb, and an excellent one he was too, instructor that is!!

In the suburb of Toowong, Brisbane, there is a Chinese restaurant called 'The Two Wongs'.

In the film 'Brassed Off' they called a fish n chip shop 'In Cod We Trust'.

We have some funny place names round here - I particularly like 'Yorky's Knob' a small hill on the way to Nimbin.

I told my eldest sister I was sure Orroroo was one of the towns on the Mallee Highway, I was sure I had seen a sign saying Orroroo. She said no, it is a town in the mid north of South Australia. The next time I was driving to Victoria via the Mallee Highway I passed through a town called Pinaroo, as I was leaving I saw a sign which said 'ooroo from Pinaroo'. Ooroo is Aussie lingo for goodbye. No wonder I was confused.

There's a newsreader on Channel 7 or is it 9, who is referrred to as ' and now back to Nataarsha'. What the****? How pompous can you get, until I realised that she is actually spelt Natarsha......duh; one to add to my collection on the other thread - goes well with Rebekkar!

How about the solicitors in Sligo called Argue and Phibbs? And DH was very taken with the chic young businesswoman being interviewed on an American news programme. Her name was given as Feleny.

In Leamington Spa there is a firm of Solicitors call Wright Hassell. Their offices are quite large so they must be quite successfull!

Have known of 2 (English) girls called Jorja.

DD2 here in Oz has a neighbour with 2 boys; the 3 year old is called Rider and the 8 month old is Hunter - duh!
