I did. I'm a big fan of the books of Britains best author Dave Gorman
His wacky true stories of adventure raise a smile but also raise important questions, like 'do other people have my name?', 'can a book be written about googling two words?' And 'can I drive across America using essentially 'b' roads?'. THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE

In a moment of madness I looked up my namesakes on facebook and added them all.
I have 17 namesakes on there, Sunday name and informal shortened version.

My favourite one is the gay one that looks like Fungus the Bogeyman, then my next favourite (but for an entirely separate set of reasons) is the American one who loves the Republicans, gun control and the constitution.

He hates Obama, healthcare and gays.

it's uncanny
His colleagues call him 'Audrey'.

Also, one night, me and a mate performed the entire Paxman/ Howard showdown and he chipped in at the end with "what's going on? I didn't type any of this'.

I had to explain that it was me playing the part of Paxman and that he hadn't been hacked by a good looking interloper, we just have the same name.
