Namesakes

[LammieLammieLammie]

I had a part in Star Trek..

 

[mammooman]

I have a fort, but that is about it.

 

[Gozzer]

I had a part in Star Trek..

Were you the one who had to clear out the tubes after the photon torpedoes were launched?

 

[CC]

I found out today that I share my name (Chris Collyer) with one of the founders of the Championship Manager (now Football Manager) series of games to which I have lost large parts of my life at various times over the last 10 years.

I got a little carried away - I only share a surname with the series creators. But is quite an uncommon surname so that's good enough for me!

 

[Ian Sideman]

My namesake isn't John Delve, former ECFC footballer. Great player. Miserable bugger.

 

[jambo]

I am in fact a much-loved silver-backed gorilla, from Jersey zoo. Although I prefer contemplative bogie-howking, I also protect wee loons who accidentally fall into my cage

 

[Phil Sayers]

I'm not sure which is worse - my actual surname namesake Dorothy Sayers who wrote (from the sound of it) exceedingly sh*t murder mysteries....

...or my near namesake who needs no introduction:

 

[ECFC KARL]

i do im karl lewis so i have the runner even though its spelt different

 

[jambo]

Dorothy Sayers who wrote (from the sound of it) exceedingly sh*t murder mysteries

Ahh - but she also penned the best translation of Dante's Divine Comedy into English. As for the murder mysteries...you shouldn't listen to all that Raymond Chandler says - The Nine Tailors is a wonderful book, climaxing (!) with an apocalyptic flood in the mean fens of Norfolk (as opposed to carnage on the mean streets of LA)

 

[Phil Sayers]

I stand corrected!
