The Guvnor 55 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 At a short-lived temp job once, I worked for someone called Bunny Mann. I never actually met him during the time I was there, so I can't confirm whether he was a bizarre superhero of some kind, or just a normal bloke with a stupid name. Having said that, anyone who calls themselves Bunny is pretty much going to be a twat, so probably no great loss. At another job, I was doing some filing and came across a form for a Mr C.Mycock. Thankfully, there was no photo attached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members tiger_rick 11,403 Posted February 7, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 We've just got a new customer in the US and one of their users has the forename "Treadway". When my colleague kept mentioning "Treadway", I thought she was talking about a location or a brand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam O'Rourke 1,243 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 A lad at my work is named Richard Blower. I'll bet school was fun for him, poor guy Speaking of school, I had two supply teachers who have to be mentioned. Mr. Toogood, and the absolute holy grail to a bunch of teenagers, Mr. Gay.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi 3,305 Posted February 8, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I met Dennis Fist today. He claims he was a dentist who apparently lost it all by investing his savings in a start up tooth paste company, but one of the owners was sent down after a massive drugs bust. He’s planning to bounce back by opening up a library on wheels, “but only go around the Posh streets”. I really hope I see him again tomorrow. Edit - Just found out it’s actually Dennis Pfist, and that whilst the shady investment was true, the library thing is just him talking bollocks. I’m hugely disappointed.
