Names on the Forum
Posted Sat Oct 28 14:38:47 BST 2000 by 'Mister E'
I doing an academic study on how people choose the names they use on the Forum.
For example, Ewar Woowar is obviously a fan of that Edward Woodward joke.
Unruly Butler - cryptic crossword fan. His real name is either Ulbert or Trubel.
Nev Fountain is... Nev Fountain.
Richard Herring: a fan of surreal comedy who doesn't know that dogs are the new fish. Richard Red Setter would have been funnier.
Bent Halo. Another anagram. Possibly a girl called Olah.
Baby Coelacanth. We know he's a comedy writer with the initials B.C. but not Barry Cryer. Ben Caudell, perhaps?
Jon chose his name because he is Jon.
Mitch Benn is Mitch Benn
Chelsea Granma - Kelsey Grammer
Radiator Head Child. This is an easy one. Comedy afficionado with a lot of time on their hands. It's Iain Lee.
Can anyone help?

It's not an anagram. What kind of maniac has a name with no vowels apart from "U"?
(Suddenly thinks of Una Stubbs, then notices there's a rogue "A" in there, so logic still stands...)

I went to http://www.google.co.uk, and typed in "Radiator Head", and found a review of a Boothby Graffoe show.
I'm just a great big cheat.

Dr Hackenbush = Groucho character in old Marx Bros film, the one about the psychiatrist.
Irritating Heater Kid = play on the name "Radiator Head Child"
Bods = one of Morph's companions in the later plasticine adventures.
Prisoner #93A234 Simon Adebisi = his name is Simon Adebisi, and he's a prisoner. Or something.

He was a horse-doctor, wasn't he? In "A Day at the Races".
Is there a new Marx Brothers film, or am I just being facetious?

Jon chose such a mild mannered name to hide the fact that he is EVIL - THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE!
Or

I don't know why I bother, frankly. The Bible says quite clearly I lose in the end anyway.
