I know we've just had a similar thing for businesses, but I've just read this on another forum I go on.
I once spoke to a dude on the phone when I worked at DHL. His name? Ray. Ray Pennybody. Seriously, it was down on the consignee information and everything. As soon as he told me, he said "Yes, I know you're muting the phone because you're laughing, and yes, I hate my parents to this day
". :lol:

Anyone heard anything worse than Rape, sorry, Ray Pennybody?

    That's rich, coming from you.

    I've met several "Richard Head"s by now. Surely their parents must have known what they were doing?

    My mum used to work with a Theresa Green, Ray Pennybody is still amazing though. What kind of parents would ruin a guys entire life for a bit of comedy?! Bravo to them!

    what have I nicked? I've ruined and butted in where I wasn't required with consistent regularity oh and repeated the same thread months after I posted one, but I'm not aware of stealing a format.

    I stand to be corrected but if you can prove it I will just deny it

    I didn't say you had done the same. I said that complaining about nicking a thread idea was rich coming from the likes of you - the type of person who gets jealous about, and ruins other people's threads.

    Ahh, I see, I wasn't being jealous, I was having a bad mood day, which is rare for me, i rarely get seriously cross, I was just not having anyone tell me what to do that day, but also attempting to be light hearted about it in approach. Oh and the argument about football, that was just effing about, I love lower league football simply because we don't take ourself as a following too seriously.

    In any case, I apologise for sullying your thread

    The newest bod at head office with a pointless job title is Paul Cockaday.

    Worked before with a Hugh Janus, went to school with a girl named Gay Times.

    Slightly less rude was a bloke in our Istanbul office called Fatih Berk. It really was not easy to keep a straight face when I phoned the office and asked to be put through :D

    Here's another Turkish one, though probably an urban myth:

    When I worked in the U.S. I attended a meeting presented by a Randy Pratt. I must admit the UK contingent sniggered... unfortunately the sniggering got much louder when we provided a helpful translation ('Horny Dickhead') for our US colleagues

    In my old hell desk job I was creating an AD account for a new user in the Indian finance dept with the name Adeep Phuken. Due to the naming convention the log on ended up as PhukenA. laughed at that one for a while

    My wife is a nurse and has kids in her clinic called Versace McLatchey & Santiago McLafferty.

    I also remember playing golf with my mate at a course that backs onto a pretty rough scheme in Edinburgh. We walked up to the next tee and there were twin brothers aged about 5 mucking around on it so we were trying to get them to move. The next thing their mum shouts over the fence "Clark, Kent get away from there" I was laughing so hard I could hardly hit my next shot!

    I used to work for a share register and some of the names on there were priceless, and true as a share certificate is a legal document. These are the best ones I can remember.

    Seema Butt
    Chris P Bacon
    Henry Shaw-Twilley
    David Forskin (actually had to call that guy!)
    about a dozen Richard Heads and loads of other Richards with unfortunate surnames
    Ivor Muff
    4 (really) Johan Sebastian Bachs
    lots of double names, Tom Thomas, Alan Allen, Richard Richards etc

    and a few from since then

    Drew Peacock (parents didnt realise until 4 months after the christening...)
    Wayne Kerr
    Jack Wier
    Jack Hunt (Played for Huddersfield Town, not sure where he is now)
    Nick Stead (oh really, my condolences...)
    Also had to do a bit of work for a customer, Mohammed Ali.
    Once asked a guy for his surname and first initial, (face to face) and with a certain amount of anger in his voice, no doubt from the years of abuse, he replied with 'Dick, initial, A'. How i didnt get internal bleeding from keeping my laughter inside, ill never know.

    Went to school with

    Philip Schofield (was waaaay younger than he of This Morning fame)
    Emma Roys (guess what extra letter we added)

    Saving the best for last, I can barely believe this one, from my share registration days so its a true one, or illegal!

    Mrs (so shes seen what shed be called and seen no humour, if thats the right word, in it and gone 'yeah thats a good name'....

    I worked with a guy Called Dick Smallbone a few years back.

    His name was bad enough, but IT got him again with his logon ID - smallboner. :lol:

    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    I went to college with Iona Hoare - never found out if her middle name was 'crack' or 'filthy', I'd like to hope so.

    Also knew of a Jonathan Bytheway, which whilst not actually being funny, is just a good surname!

    I've been reliably informed by a friend that we had a carriage cleaner at Soho called Landon N'Dour, you know, where women go and men plunder, can you hear, can you hear the thunder?
