    Sat int car going to the match. Mrs of mi brother in law rings him on hands free. Their son in car as well.
    I said to her I was talking to a guy called Mike Oxlong Who went to school with her.
    I must have said "You do know Mike Oxlong. John (her hubby) sez so" or words to that effect Twenty times.
    Her Hubby and (son collapsing in the back). P155ing themselves laughing. Was nearly at ground when when she twigged. Let's just say she questioned my parentage lol.
    Then a few months later I was watching points of view. The presenter reading out a message.from a viewer.
    Then ending with "Mike Oxlong from Sunderland".
    Pmsl.

    One of our customers had a guy there called Michael Hunt. For some reason he never wanted to shorten his name to Mike

    I once taught a beautiful, shapely Italian lady called Letizia Epifani. (tiz is pronounced tits in Italian - no need to explain the surname).

    I posted pic earlier but it gets better because she got married to someone whose surname was Box so she became Ginger Box! Unfortunately her husband died young in a car accident, so no happy ending to the story.

    I’ll always remember a bloke who worked in our department in Leeds. He was the caretaker of the building. Mick Binns his name was. Michael Terence Binns.
    M.T. Binns - I kid you not!
