Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I knew a teacher with a Donald Duck and a Shanda Lear in his class.

And we had a teacher who'd been told that a boy was named "Donald Duck" and had persisted in pretending to believe it, to the extent that the boy was seriously worried as parents' evening approached. "Yes, I'll tell Mr & Mrs Duck that their son doesn't share their name..."

my school friend's father was called Donald Duck and I knew a Gordon Bennett.

there are lots of new to me names at school and even more unusual spelling variants , hopefully though there is enough variation that names won't age one as happens now

I had a dentist called Dr Holliday.

I asked him if he had any patients called Clanton. He didn't see the funny side....

My art teacher was called Mr. Klungel, which would mean something like "Clumsy"in English, he could move his ears independently and had quite loose hands if you wouldn't listen. Odd man....

Got something to say?
