Hi, Bob.

BL> BL> Thank you, Boris Velininovskivich.

BL> BG> Talking about funny//appropriate names, there is, in the east
BL> BG> end of London, an old cobbler's shop (that's bootmaker to you
BL> BG> plebs) which is owned by R. Soles & Co. And even closer to
BL> BG> home, in Melbourne there is (or was) an artificial limb and
BL> BG> prosthetics manufacturer named I. Grocock! True! You couldn't
BL> BG> make up a funnier name IMO. |-)

BL>  (chuckle) I have a feeling that we've been this before, which led to
BL>an outrageous claim that you were related to Thomas Crapper, the
BL>alleged inventor of the flushing shithouse, and a long line of famous
BL>Yorkshire crappers, poopers, farters, and flatulators  :-).

BL>  There was no way I could top that, and I refuse to be caught a
BL>second time, even though my own famous Irish ancestor Seamus O'Bog
BL>is on record as the first man to take a newspaper into a toilet, thus
BL>leading to the phase: "I'm going for a bog."

One of my colleagues at one stage referred to this as "going to punch a
Grogan". Now I've no idea who Grogan is/was, but it reminded me of the
old IBM MFCMs (multi-function card machines) - they could read and punch
at the same time, too.

Regards, FIM.
