      . 'm always giggling at the names of sportsmen. I turned to my long-suffering better half during the match last night and told him that Stones had a sister in the crowd - name of Cherry.
      Hi Caz,

      When I was younger a local newspaper used to have a section for less newsworthy sports (bowling, club snooker etc.) When judo results were mentioned the name Elvis Parsley was a regular.

      And this was pre-tribute act days by the way
      Regards

      Sir Herlock Sholmes.

        I believe the Brazilians have now had at least two players called simply 'Fred.'

          But at the other end of the cultural scale they've also had a Leonardo and a Socrates.

            in the states "stones" is slang for balls, cajones. as in bravery. "Hes got major stones going after that big guy."


            I had a friend in college who was a scrapper, not afraid of anyone, and his nickname was stones.


            every time the announcer said his name it cracked me up.


            its just such a cool funny name. "Stones". hahahah
            Hi Abby,

            My daughter laughs every time she hears the name of retired politician and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Ed Balls.

            I think Ed once joked that he had a sister called Ophelia.

            Love,

            Caz

              You can do whatever you want, Dave. Whitechapel has a great tradition of welcoming all sorts.

              But why you'd want to mix with people you find unbearable at times beats me.

                  Yes, I'm fishing around for the name too, HS.

                        Back in the days of the old World of Sport wrestling there was a wrestler called Brian Glover who went on to become a jolly good actor. One night - I think he was at a theatre - he got a message that a wrestler called Massambullah needed a new opponent because his original opponent had pulled out. Glover responded with the immortal line : "I'm an artist. I can't be doing with Massambullah."

                          I can tell you're not a motor-racing fan. We have Dick Seaman and Dick Trickle (both of them quite talented, for that matter).

                              Imagine being a male Dick in the LVP and having to give yourself in the census as a Dick Head.
