Suntan Winning-Ball
Not to be irreverent but I laugh out loud each time I see a charming Ballard word-mash like "that frightfully nice Mr. Raywinning-Suntonball"
I wonder whether someone would care to list all the variations in existence? Perhaps we can invent some more permutations, like Whinnying-Ball or suchlike. Any suggestions, Mr. Shoppingtown-Mall?

McStolly selects his names through Divine Providence and/or dependence upon the Ethereal Wisdom of Veare. You will note that he also most likely recognizes that there's bugger-all one can do with "Notton" (as does Veare, no doubt)...
Carry on, gentlemen...

Now, if I've done it right, we can refer to: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...4021#post14021 You have L to R, young Rory Ballard, me in silly hat and hi-vis jacket as is required of the show sec, Dave Ballard of the DTB F15 Polsten himself, some grinning geezer with a bit of paper and Don Staples-Harris holding the grinning git's beer. The sigs clerk bit comes about since the most hi-tech comms Mr Ballard has is a retractable ball point and I am continuously asked to send/receive emails and faxes for them, I see of late I have had emails actually directly addressed to them using my address, Hanno would know if I mentioned the French PU. I have elsewhere noted the standard Ballard lectures, insurgent leaf and boiler suit moans especially, plus the hilarious exchanges between Ballard snr and jnr; the latter being a skiller joiner and hand-fashions bespoke ash vehicle bodies for the various restorations both professional and private. Quote:
Now the afore mentioned and esteemed leader of these hallowed chronicles did mention my large and playful moggie, Veare. A name derived for the Devonshire language which is littered with strange dialect words. In full the Devonshire term is fuzzyveare - a term they use to describe any furry, or naturally velcro-like plant seeds. We have a weed that produces tiny velcro balls about 3mm across plus the horse and sweet chestnut encased in a spiky ball casing, all these would be described by a broad Devonshire farmer as a fuzzyveare and I suppose a Kiwi fruit also, if they'd ever seen one. We had two black cat sisters, one small, fearless and with a kitten attitude into adult life until as we feared playing with the traffic proved to be overly distainful; and the larger more cautious animal that survives to this day and has been seen herein. Therefore, Fuzzy and Veare. Quote:
In my new found partnership and self-employ, involving the high-speed application of G12 chilled iron grit propelled by a great deal of Deutz diesel generated HP air to other people's rusty ess aitch one tee, a substantial amount of which is Ballard's stuff from the professional restoration work; leaves me personally attached to a fine dusting of the stuff that now requires washing off. Not only that, but leaving any in the bath tub to make myriad rusty spots overnight does not endear me with Mrs. Notton. I have to get to it. R. |

Whilst Veare might make a very good fluffy scrub-brush, the necessity of moving her 16lb mass around may prove more energetic than a work out with the gym dumbells and moreover there is another pertinent point to consider. In my considered opinion, I think she would not take kindly to being utilised in this manner and so rather than being able to use the fluffy side, the most likely outcome would be the employment of her 18 personal and in-built scimitars on your nads much like sprinter's starting blocks. Knowing that Veare has an initial acceleration from rest somewhat better than a McLaren F1 and by the judicious application of E=MC² we can arrive at a figure of pressure applied to each scimitar assuming cat = 16lb. It is fair to say that the resultant figure is several quantum orders above the tensile strength of human tissue. This action, I would imagine, is to be throughly avoided since it would most definitely bring tears to your eyes and possibly cause such a sharp intake of breath that the size of your personal abloutions chamber may suddenly become much smaller owing to the vacuum so occasioned causing a somewhat worrying implosion.

Mental image
Ahhh the mental image of Veare's grapple for scrotal traction was too much for me! Please cease or I'll choke laughing!!
BTW, not enough people are thinking of new variations on the Sunburn Winning-Ray theme.

Name Variations
Hi Keefy
Once again our great Oz minds are thinking alike. I recently started looking through the threads and picked up a few but it needs a lot of research. Secondly I also agree with you that this thread needs to be redirected onto itsyour original track. Boy don't these red-herring side tracks take over. Anyway here are a few to start with. Actually this could be a good job for you Kartmann, collate all the variations on a master list. And once we've finished with Ball Ball Spin Win Ton Sun we can carry on with the Big H. Ball-Spinning Ballray-Suntonwinning G. Win Spinnington Ball Spinny Ball Winningray-Suntonball Ball Ball Spin Win Ton Sun Bob PS - What is his real name? |

The original name
Was something along the lines of
Tarquin Fintimwhimbimlimbimbusstopf'tangf'tangolebiscuitba rrel from memory. Or perhaps that was Kevin Philips-Bong. Perhaps there is a Hong-Kong relative - Jiflee Wonton-borr (say with appropriate accent). Or Sunlay for short.

Firstly Mr Winnington-Ball I must apologise,
I really thought I was above all this bandage you have had to suffer, a fine old English name like Winnington-Ball should receive the honour it deservers. However urged on by those naughty Colonials I had a look into your family tree and came up with the following remote ancestors. I have to beg your forbearance in such foibles………. nay such liberties with your profound signifier, still I tarry unnecessarily….. to book I found the following: Mr Ffoeg Townning-Bainll (Welsh boarders sheep farmer who in 1700’s was given the choice of a custodial sentence or transportation to the Dominions, crime not recorded, but involved sheep) Mr Geoffrey Twinningon-Allb (diarist who fell foul of the church in 1600’s and had to beat a hasty retreat to the Americas, it is rumoured that he left diaries behind under a synonym not known) I found this dip into your genealogy most efficacious after a weeks endeavour to earn a crust at my lectern. Please do not hesitate to advise if I can be of further assistance Yours truly, Etep Hasby |

Re: Mr. Etep Hasby
Dear Mr. Hasby,
We thank you for your contribution to this thread, dated 29 October 04. We do so appreciate your input on matters of State whenever the mood strikes you. The two gentlemen you note in your letter appear not to be directly related, although rumours stand that at least one of them might be "distantly" related to the Spencer side of Sir Winston's family, abeit quietly. One of our family cats knows the truth, but she isn't saying, at least not since I removed and refashioned my tinfoil beanie (things haven't been the same with me since). In the interim, we shall drive on regardless and do our best to represent Queen & Country as we have in the past. Please carry on in your most excellent endeavours as well sir, and pass our warm regards to the rest of the Oxford Crew. Yours sincerely, Yerffoeg Llab-Notgininniw PS: There might be just a trace of Welsh in our heritage, not sure yet; an immediate analysis of blood-alcohol content seems to indicate a preponderance of fine, Scottish Highland ... er... blood. We will advise as opportunity presents itself. PPS: I should advise that during a recent motor through the hill country of northern Wales, the sheep in the valleys alongside the road seemed to be saying "Daaaa-d. Daaaa-d". I'm sure it was just a case of mistaken identity.
