True story


A friend of a friend's mother was Terry (Monty Python) Jones's cleaner. She had two boys called Genghis and Adolf.


I kid you not.


Terry had the family round one afternoon and made the boys some food. My pal says his abiding memory is of Terry standing on the back door step shouting "Genghis! Adolf! Pizza."


I can't tell you their surname because I think they still live around here but that was daft as well

The Leader of the Opposition in Australia, back in the days when Bob Hawke was PM, was called Andrew Peacock. Fortunately for him, no one spotted that joke at the time.

3 brothers called Sir Ricky, sir Ryan and sir Reece.


Queen Ann


Boy called OJ (orange juice) and his brother called AJ (Apple juice). They apparently had a sister called cinnamon but I never met her.

Is this a joke or are you Katie Hopkins or something?

They should have a blackcurrant juice for comedy value.

I worked for a German company and had a colleague whose surname was Kuntz (true).

I had a colleague in our German office whose last name was Wankum.

Oh, that's reminded me of someone I used to know named her daughter Brie. Yes, that's right, after the cheese.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
