Same Name Poor Bugger

Gday All,

I had to ring ZF gearboxes yesterday and speak to the marine section, and when the bloke answered the phone he says
"Hello Peter Costello", unfortunetly I asked him if he was serious, so when he asked me my name I said Kevin Rudd..

Anyway after a laugh and him telling me all the pollies names people have said were on the other end of the phone, he must be sick of it by now.

Yes I did ring back and ask for Peter Costello and did get put thru to him.

Cheers Ean

Guy I used to work with was Michael Caine. He was as camp as a row of tents, hilarious to work with, and always had some sort of practical joke on the go.

Publicans at the Hines Hill Pub (between Merredin and Kellerberrin in WA) used to be two ladies named Fraser and Hawke.

I worked for a drilling company in WA and a supervisor was Wayne King and a thoroughly nasty bit of work, maybe because of the **** he got about his name!:D
And a storeman was named Trevor Dick and was a decent bloke but probably wished his parents had put a bit more thought into it.

Was he a 'Clever Trevor'?

We had a Sapper Brayne who joined the Army out of our most southern state...and yes...what were his parents thinking? When they named him..... Richard!

I knew a Trevor Dick from W.A. - can't be two of them.
When I was working at Elders in the early 70's our agent at Fish Creek was Percy Pullen.
Around that time I took out a girl called Carol Head & early in the relationship asked if she had a Brother by the name of Richard. She said do you know him? At first I thought she was kidding but I later met him...
We had a client at a place called Bastard by the name of Dumb, and we had a client at Deniliquin by the name of Norm Fuks - luckily pronounced Fooks. ( I just checked spelling- there are plenty in USA- none in Aus anymore:))

When I went to high school, my first chemistry teacher's name was Richard Cramp.

For some reason, he wasn't so keen on being known by the commonly shortened form of Dick. Funny that.

Also knew a Wayne King - history teacher's husband. Tis unfortunate.
