There was a famous Nascar driver called Dick Trickle and an alpine skier called Fanny Chmelar .

It was his car that was used for all the clips in Days of Thunder hence Tom Cruise's character being called Cole Trickle.
 
The trailers for Top Gun 2. Just awful. Crazy CGI special effects. Some films just should be banned from ever having sequels.

Recently had to attend a pre-project meeting. They put an email up on screen and I started chuckling. My colleague asked why and I told him to look at the people CC'd. One of the European project managers was called Huges Chuffart. Childish I know, but it got me through 4 hours of an incredibly boring meeting.

I attended a project meeting in Cannes at Thales several years ago and the female french host was in the large, packed reception desperately looking for my colleague, Cock Overbeek. She kept asking around with no luck until we heard her shout out, “Anyone seen Cock?! I need Cock now!!”.
 
No more golf majors until April 😢 and because of the US wanting the Fed ex moved 😡
 
Getting my stuff from the club ready for the next few days and leaving the keys in the locker and having to drive all the way back again. Fortunately some kind soul had made sure it was locked and left the keys behind the bar. Think senility is setting in

Richard Head? Where do you work? I worked in the same company as a RH for several years...

Also knew a RH - he worked on the Sales / Account Management side of a software company an ex-employer was looking to engage with.

One of my Physics teachers at school was a James Riddle...

...and had a work colleague Robert Searle - which is fine - though back in the day of getting computer print outs from a central location when printouts were identified by our first name initial concatenated with our surname...

I did once put together a spoof letter to our head of department as a 1st April tease - signed by a lady in HR called Avril Fouler...
 
Birds.

They've scoffed all my Strawberries and Blackcurrents.

oh, and squirrels, well the one that keeps digging up my lawn for the stuff it keeps burying in it.

Getting tired of people saying "I don't look my age" or "I've never looked my age".
What are they trying to deflect?

Add in the women who appear in the papers every so often and claim they go out with their daughters on nights out and people mistake them for sisters. Yeah, really, course they do :unsure:. Answer to your question, they are trying to kid themselves that the ageing process doesn't impact them, they will never get old or ill. They are insecure.
