Some parents are bastards.

If your surname was "Thomas" you wouldn't call your son "John", now would you? Apparently you would; one of the phone girls in the office was overheard talking to a gentleman of such appellation. She was unaware of the slang term at the time and now has to ring him back without laughing.

Assuming that is, of course, his real name.

This prompted a brief discussion in the office. Apparently Paul once knew a boy - a vicar's son, no less - by name of Richard Seaman. He also had a pair of gym teachers called Stretch and Stride. We are forced to conclude that it is, in point of fact, a funny old world.

UPDATE: The same girl has just called John Connors.
