Back on Topic:
Here's an interesting link about Graeme Kidd (inventor of the extremely attractive beer and sausage diet) as well as a beer named after Graeme (Mayor's Ale)...you can listen to an interview with his wife.

You're not going to thank me for reminding you, but I used to play with you in The Bull when you were a mere toddler. I used to hide something behind my back and then show you two fists, and you guessed which one held the object - we played that for hours. You used to like riding on my shoulders too.
How's Andrew? He was a baby in arms when I left Ludlow...

Dang, that's right - Andrew's your middle name, Alasdair's your bruvver. I wasn't in the Old Dic, but I remember watching them every year. I did some work experience on the Ludlow Advertiser after Impact went nipples-up, and wrote a review of their Richard III performance. If memory serves, your mum and dad were both in that one.

Ah, I see - I remember someone telling me the name 'Warwick Andrew Newman Kidd' being suggested and rejected for that very reason, but I thought your mum and dad settled on 'Warwick Andrew Kidd'. I'm surprised they told you about the WANK thang - I was going to keep it quiet!
There are worse initials, though. My mum's name is 'Barbara', and she has no middle name. And Val Doonican must've hated his parents...
lol, i figured it out aloooooooong time back virtually as soon as i knew what wank meant lol. I still get people at school being complete and utter *****! as WNK is the text version of wank.....god life sucks....
