Appreciate this is hugely juvenile of me, but I can't help it....

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

I hope his middle name is 'The' - then he'll sound like a Viking.

Epic.

It always amused me that if somebody had the surname De’Ath, they are called Deee Ath. No it’s not. It’s Death, as in snuffed it, fallen off the perch, dead. Live with it.

Presumably an ex punk rocker. Looks the part to boot.

Talking of juvenile, and hopefully this won't offend anyone, but I find it hard not to smile whenever I read an article by Ben Dirs. Especially when he was reporting from the city of Homs.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s so it's hardwired I'm afraid!

Not an uncommon name on the western fringes of Suffolk in old census and parish records.

Ath is a place in (a French speaking area of) Belgium, so an immigrant family may well have been from ("de") there, hence De Ath, rather than Death. Was in a cloth trading area, so may well have had medieval links with East Anglia.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

A lad on my course at uni back in the 70s had the unfortunate surname Clot. He told us it was French and pronounced "clo", but he actually came from Chiswick.

I once worked with a Dick Johnson. Yes he actually went by that. I assume he'd got fed up of people making the joke and decided to own it.

Had a summer job working with a chap called Terry McCann who used to have to deal with enquiries from customers...he would say "Terry McCann" when picking up a call. Couldn't hear what the customers were saying on the other end of the phone, but 9 times out of 10 the next thing he would say was "Yes, the same as the f**king bloke from Minder"

There are a few De'Aths in my neck of the woods and they are nearly all b@stards.

I watch ski jumping during the winter. There was a German athlete called Andreas W*nk. They pronounce it Vonk so does not sound too bad.
Driving in Germany I always smile when I see ausfarht on a sign. It means exit

Genuinely telling the truth here. At my place of work there was a Dick Lord and a Rod Sore a few years ago.

I see that Norwich have been linked with the current FC Magdebug manager - a gentleman by the name of Christian Titz:
