Was this inspired by the late, great Jeremy Beadle?

That was in a book I once read (which I can't remember the name of), there were four friends from Mexico (I think) and one was named Usnavys for that very reason. I had no idea it was a real urban legend, I assumed the author made it up.

Aw, my dad's named Frank. My boyfriend is called Francesco too, the Italian version of Frank. I wouldn't choose either as a name though.

That's funny, in the UK Alison would definitely be the default spelling, and wouldn't see Allison very often at all.

I posted this in a reply but thought I'd add it again here. Some woman over here (UK) called her daughters Joop and Dkny (to rhyme with bikini) after her favourite perfumes. She later added an apostrophe, it's now D'kny. I bet the registrars were pissing themselves when she came in to register the baby.

There was a woman in a magazine here who called her daughter's Joop and Dkny, to rhyme with bikini. I just googled her to find the link and there was another story about her in a newspaper, it seems she later decided to add an apostrophe. It's now D'kny.

That's hilarious. At least she was wearing glasses though, so you didn't actually spit in her eye...

I could have written this word for word. I called in sick for work a few weeks ago as I fancied a day off (not a regular occurrence) and I purposely went in the next day with hardly any make up on. All I got all day was 'are you sure you're feeling better? You still look ill, you're very pale' etc. It's rare that it…

You do have about a billion varieties of Ben & Jerry's though, whereas we get about 10, so I think you're still winning in the ice cream stakes.

My sincerest apologies for reminding you of that. Maybe they'll bring it out in the States though, I don't think Creme Eggs themselves have been out over there for as long as they have here, so they might bring out the ice cream one day...

You can get creme egg ice cream in the UK, both in tubs and in a few different varieties of bars (with and without cone). I dont know if its available year round or just when the eggs come out though. It's also a regular McFlurry flavour.

Yeah, I would never want my Dad to even see my tits, never mind operate on them (he's not a surgeon anyway, so wouldn't want him operating on any part of me, but still). I assume he thinks he would be the best person for the job as they're his family, but surely he could have gotten one of his trusted surgeon friends…

Cheryl Cole definitely would have done that. She was the most indecisive judge ever. She once refused to vote when it was between two of her acts, not even a 'I'll choose the one with less votes to send it to deadlock' type deal, just actually flat-out refused to vote.

You're right, US sizes are two down from ours. Some stores may size up/down, like they do here but that's the general rule.

When I lived with two Irish guys, they told me gee was the worst word you could use. They would say it all the time. I haven't heard gowl though, maybe it's a regional thing? The guys I lived with were from Dublin, but when I lived in Galway I never heard gee, or gowl.

I think clunge is silly, it doesn't seem to sound like what it is describing, I don't think it suits being used for fanny. I had never heard of it before The Inbetweeners though.

Flange is the worst word in the world. I can't really think of any other words that bother me, but that one just sounds so horrible. I used to hate it on Shooting Stars when Vic and Bob would refer to 'the flange of the dove'. Urgh.

Is that restaurant really on Gay Street? I'm surprised he could bring himself to go there, lest he be tainted by the gay.

Yeah, I think Oh Land sounds pretty cool, much better than if she'd gone with 'Nanna' anyway. Not very rock n roll being called another name for grandma.

Oh Land is her middle name, albeit spelled differently (maybe pronounced differently too?). She's Danish, her name's Nanna Øland Fabricius.
