Making a point...
I heard once of a chap who was a bit miffed with his bank because they charged him a silly amount of money for being fractionally overdrawn. So he changed his name by Deed Poll to "Mr Yorkshire Bank plc are facist Bastards".

Alternatively, an old favourite of mine is "Nigel La-Pooertrench" whose occupation was/is "artiste". Twat, more like.

» You're a moviestar baby

Prince Charles......
visited the Great Yorkshire Show and I was there with t'wife walking round, and he sort of appeared from a field where his helicopter landed.

A news crew were following him and suddenly a line appeared of people wanting to meet and greet the royal jug-heed. I thought it highly amusing to make a "wanker" hand signal at the camera and mouth the word "twat" as the camera panned across us.

Clearly the director/producer of the news was either working his notice or had a death wish, cos that night on the regional news was "Prince Charles visited the Yorkshire Show" blah blah blah "where he was greeted by a large crowd" and me clearly seen in the "adoring crowd" in the background performing the hand gesture and mouthing "twat".

I set the video up for the next news bulletin but it wasn't on, cos something more interesting had happened somewhere else in the region.

» Things you've done when you've had no money.

Kleeneze.
I was one of those pissed off looking people pottering about with my little blue bags picking up soggy, dog eaten catalogues from people's doorsteps for fuck all money and looking eternally grateful when someone ordered an extendable window washer at £10 from which I got £2.10.

That did not last long.

» Shoddy Presents

I had an Aunt and an Uncle....
who lived life like "The Good Life" - totally self sufficient which lead to a somewhat blinkered and completely mislead interpretation of reality. For Easter they'd send Cadbury's Creme Eggs in the post, in normal envelopes. Needless to say the mess that landed went straight in the bin.

An absolute gem of a Christmas present from them, though, was a whole pound of sliced, dried banana "to put on my All Bran". I was five, for fucks sake.
