Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 7, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 7, 2021 One also for the TIL thread, but I just found out that Lisa Maffia's name is her actual birth name. Quote

Mr_Danger Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 And now I’ve just learned that Romeo’s real name is Marvin Dawkins and not Romeo Dunn. Quote

cobra_gordo Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Just had a random memory of being 9 or 10 and seeing a report on Calendar News about a fella who had found an unexploded World War 2 bomb in his garden who had the most appropriate name of Gordon Bennett. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 6, 2021 Paid Members Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) I know it's not a person, but who the heck through this would be a good idea? Makes for some interesting memes... Edited July 6, 2021 by jazzygeofferz Quote

Makes for some interesting memes... It's funny, but it clearly doesn't have the same meaning elsewhere as it does in the UK. There was even a (very decent) hip hop duo called The Nonce. Imagine if you walked into a record shop here and asked for 'The Nonces' new album. It would take them ages to figure out who you mean. Quote
