Review it all you like, it's no use when I'm already in.

Could you let the cat out and hang around for a bit? I'm having a new phone delivered today and didn't really want to have to wait in all day.

I couldn't imagine a baby nowadays with a name like Derek or Barbara.

It just sounds a bit weird to me.

What are considered 'upper class' names these days?

Zatara is definitely upper class

Nice phone that mate

You can ask any teacher anywhere the same question, and the answer is the same.

In my last class, I had a "Jaxon" and a "Grace"... guess who did better academically? Guess who had more supportive parents, who were more prepared to cooperate with the school? It's the same everywhere.

Exactly

Oh, so systemic bias then?

Or just years of experience

Yes. Have you let the cat out yet? Cup of tea would be nice, seeing as you're not busy.

Cats are evil so I've buried it alive in your neighbours garden, no charge.

My wife’s godson is named Delaney-Loki. Absolute shocker of a name.

..there’s also odd ways of spelling names. I always think it’s a problem if you have to spend your entire life spelling your Christian name to people on the phone etc. Parents think it’s trendy, but it’s a bit silly really.

yeah did you see that poor bloke in the audience when Michael McIntyre was doing his bit about, Sean, Shaun, Shawn, Geoff, Jeff, Sara, Sarah, Jill, Gill, Stuart & Stewart

he says who here has a name like that, some guy puts his hand up and says "me"

turns out his parents spelt his name "Wain" instead of "Wayne"

as McIntyre said "what a waste of life" (having to explain that all the time)

My younger sister was friends with twins and their names were Star and Rain...
