When I was about 7 at primary school I sat on a table with a girl called susan partington. One day we was given some old wooden rulers that had the initials of the previous owners scribbled on. Being 7 we decided that we would keep the initials and add them to our names so that for instance if I got TG on my ruler and my name was Joe Woods then I wood be called Toe Goods.

 

Anyway Susan got PF on her ruler which made her name Pusan Fartington. I remember that being so funny to a 7 year old.that I nearly broke my spleen laughing.

I know a bloke called Dave, I shit ye not.
