Names You Work(ed) With
In the past, I've worked with guys with the names Harry Dyck, and Sikon Yu.
We used to have Steve Davis, and still have Nicole Ritchie (not the famous ones obviously) working in the office.
I found out today that Qing Kong works here too.
Anyone else run across some famous or funny names?

Today one of my coworkers had to call up a guy whose name was Valeriu Mortu. Mortu means the dead one. It was funny cos he didn't answered himself and she had to ask to speak with Mr. the Dead and added RIP.

We've got a DJ De'ath, which I always think is a seriously cool name.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

We once had some dealings with a firm called William Hare and our contact was a Mr Rabbit. Then there's the major firm of engineers whose waterproofing expert was a Mr Leak.

You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
