My name is Julian
But my Mum's other favourite boy's name was Gervaise. I was born in 1967, so I'd have had 35 years or so of being called gay/camp/etc. before everyone started to think of me as a thudding bore with a goatee doing silly dances in a Slough-based office sitcom.

I reckon that's a lucky escape.

I was supposed to be Colin
but that was also the name of recently killed son, in a "push bike versus car" accident,of my mums friend.

So that was discretly dropped.

Not a huge fan of Colin if I am being honest
