Everytime a see a news story about the ex-boss of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), Dick Pound, I can't help but snigger.

Anyone else found any news stories with amusing names.

Here's another. Wayne Kerr Electronics - http://www.waynekerrtest.com/

naw but we have 2 guys in working on contract at the moment and their surnames are Masucci and Starbuck.! :eek: :D :D

Sounds like a new crime fighting team to take over from Starsky and Hutch. :cool:

Are you sure it's not characters from Battlestar Gallatica? Starbuck was played by Dirk Benedict (trauma as a child as he was in the A-Team at the same time!)

I've got loads of these, I'll dig some out in a bit.

Spoke to a customer complaining once called Roland Butter. Also a bloke at work used to go to school with a girl called Iona Wardrobe:D :D :D

Also, someone from Sunderland I work with is called Lewis Collins. every time I speak to him I think of The Professionals tune - he is only about 19 so it's way over his head.
