Unjustified Chuff-On
I've remembered another one, one of the geography teachers who never really taught my classes and whose name escapes me.

Anyway, he had this sideline of writing puzzle books along 'decipher the anagram' lines. He showed us a couple during a lesson that he covered for another, and they were proper published books with his name on - the genuine article.

The wierd part is that the bit he was chuffed with most of all was the fact that he'd given Limahl (of Kajagoogoo, er fame) his name, it being an anagram of his real name (whatever that was). Limahl had approached him and everything, apparently.

Granted, there's a faint possibility that he was full of shit on the Limahl part but he was proud of it nonetheless. Either way, there are better things to be proud of - for example, my own fairly crap claim to fame is that I saw Rod, Jane and Freddy leaving a restaurant in my hometown when I was a kid, and even that's better than being responsible for Limahl's name :)
