Frankly, I expected better of myself

Translates as 'Happy Buddha' apparently. It's just round the corner from a cowboy boot shop called R. Soles, which I can only assume is deliberate.

Is this true?

I've always laughed at the name of the author Richard Beard.

God's honest, your honour.

Mike Hunt also lectures in physics at Durham University, along with Dr GD Love.

My uni has a Dr Fear, she does research into post-traumatic stress disorder in the military.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

That reminds me of Wimbledon legend Peter Fear.

Been looking around the Luton area on Google maps. Cockernhoe is a bit funny but I find Wandon End funnier, I'm not sure why. Slip End, that's another one. Gustard Wood. I could go on.

I often send people emails with the subject topic as 'CTUM'.

When they reply, it spells RE:CTUM.

I am 30 years old.

This on TV just now...

I applaud the effort you've gone to in bringing me this childish laugh.

On a similar note, one of the German bobsleighers is called Andre Langer.

_{Langer being a slang word for your willy.}

Giggle.

The big block of offices by East Putney station used to proudly announce that it was 'Wang Electronics' or something similar, which always caused me to smile when I got off the train there. It's now been renamed, so I don't know what the people of Putney do for cheap laughs these days.

one of my final exams from my first degree had a question about a fictional company called GeneItalia. Scientists of all ages can be pretty childish.

My sister used to work for the energy company Powergen, now re-branded to E-on. A couple of years ago I found out about the Italian URL for their site: www.powegenitalia.com I emailed her the link. She didn't reply. Hopefully she'd seen it before, rather than thinking I was just being a vulgar eejit.

Thanks turnstyle. There are quite a few times at work when I leave the subject line blank if it's a quick informal email. I'm monkeying around with this method from now on.

It was also featured on QI and proclaimed to be the Italian division of Powergen, just another example of their very poor research (Stephen also presented Pen Island, a joke site, as real).

You live and learn!

I chuckle at a well timed fart noise in the cinema.

I've mentioned this here a few years ago.
I work in an iron foundry and we used to wait till someone went into the rest room (small room 1 door), one of us would piss in a bucket, slide the bucket into the rest room and at the last minute, toss in some very hot slag, and jam the door.
How we'd laugh watching them choke on piss vapour.
One bloke took revenge by shitting in someones lunchbox.

It just goes to show how these things can soon escalate out of control.
