lol. a few weeks ago i nearly posted a similar post, along the lines: “If your name was Tim Dick, would you put your hand up to write about prostitutes in Kings Cross?”. Poor guy. Maybe his editor is having a bit of fun?

Sniggering at people’s names is very immature and reminded me of Professor Dick Ball. His name was Richard but was referred to by himself and others as Dick. To add to the smirking. One of the things he was famous for was his research and work in Gender Re-Assignment or adding and removing dicks and balls.

No mature person would be amused by all this. Carry On blogging all.

At Cambridge one of my contemporaries was Richard Pinch, who went on to pursue an academic career as a mathematician.

I don’t get it, is this meant to be funny?

Francis, how about politician Richard Face? always liked that one.

This is fun.

Tim Dick cast the first stone at himself, in May last year. It’s quite a nice piece.

gianna – in Victoria we have a Minister called Candy Broad. Now I don’t know about you but it always gives me a sort of minor snicker.

Those who find this kind of humour funny would be interested in a post on my blog – Australian political figures with porn-star names:

I hope Sex and the City never airs another episode ever again. Thankfully its over!
