Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Most who have followed my posts over the last couple of years would know I have a Dark, slightly warped possibly sense of humour, but ..........................
I was at a conference in Perth yesterday and was sitting near a teen aged girl who had a name badge on, the name on the badge was Jenny Taylor, why would she not use Jennifer? what were here parents thinking she didn't look old enough to be married and no rings
I also went to school many moons ago with a Wayne Kerr, parents must of hated him since birth, and a mate named his son Desmond Troy .... shortened to Des Troy, this was deliberate, and suits I might add
I use to run a TAB for the folks and use to hear a lot of weird names, I took my other nickname I use in another forum from a horse called Pistol Knight, the funniest name on track I ever heard was from a dog race in Queensland, dog races are run pretty quick so imagine the caller call the race when Karnavah Kid was running, say it fast 3 times we only ever heard it run the once so must have changed it's name, it was actually owned by a person with the surname of Karnavah.
So got me thinking, what funny names have others heard..............

Race car driver (Formula Ford and V8 Super Cars) Dougal McDougal.

Family friends have a surname Head and they were considering naming their son Richard.....

Went to school with a guy called Richard and Peter Head.

Also I am pretty sure Wayne Kerr went to Wagin HS. Which School did you go to Nocky?

I did cadets hundreds of years ago, I said to a guy called steve hunt.... wouldn't it be funny if you had a brother mike ?...... reply was .... I DO !

some parents deserve a slap, or sterilisation

I went to Carine SHS was way back in 1976 though

Edit yes I forgot I also know 2 Michael Hunt's

Wow forgot about farmers up north Phil McCagh (pronounced Car) and seriously Phil McCraken

lol

seriously parents need to think. Gee 76. If that was year 8 the i was at Bentley HS same year.

Was year 9, Carine was still being built and they had only year 8 & 9 in 1976 school was crowded and we started at 8 and finished at 2, year 8's went from 10-4, year 8 I was at Christian Brothers Highgate, Didn't help me though
Back on topic I just read one Barbara D Wire, shortened Barb D Wire

I worked security at a bacon plant. The job included answering the phone and paging people to it at times. I had to relay calls to both Mike Hawk and Mike Hunt.

My dad when he was alive reckoned he saw a law firm sign in Warnambool "Hitchcock and Scratchit"
Dunno if he made it up or not

We had a very good surgeon in Alice Springs with the unfortunate name of Dr Butcher!!!!

Dunno Mantis, found this on the net, maybe one of those tall stories,


Work is slow again so have been looking around and seems lots of people know Wayne Kerrs, some suggest they have heaps of Wayne Kerrs at work, Mike Hunt is also popular, also Wayne King, and someone knows a Ben York-Hunt and a Pat Micock and in the Melb white pages Dr. E. Bola
The mind boggles

The local vet has that name.

we had a Dr Deth

I also know Nick Tait and Nick Dick

Nocky! OMG I know someone else who went to Carine SHS in 1976
