Karis Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I think it's a funny name, like that Aussie guy who was in the papers after changing his surname from Itchianus... There's no malice or racism in it. Some names are just funny... Our first Japanese lesson had the teacher saying ****sureshimasu, and she kept on emphasizing the first part of that word. How we giggled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dory Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Has anyone come across the grave of Fanny Rust in the Church of St Michael's and All Angels Cemetery in Hathersage. The next time I'm down there I'll take a picture, (pardon the pun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esme Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Mod Note I think we've had enough fun at the poor woman's expense and now the game seems to be lets get rude words in the forum that no one can complain about because they are peoples names.
