How about Mr Odd Vagina? You'll know the derivation, I'm sure...

(Not, of course, a serious suggestion in a million years - but, from the same book, how about 'sakkosekken'?)

Must be going thick, but I can't figure that out at all!

Oh, and just because I can't resist saying it... You are a number, not a free man.

Number Six

It's from the 'Are You Dave Gorman?' book, when they're still about six DGs short, and Danny suggests anagrams - if they met, say, five Dave Morgans and a Mr Odd Vagina, they'd be sorted.

'Sakkosekken' comes from the only sentence Danny can say in Norwegian - something like "Flink jente! Gaa i sakkosekken!" which means "Bad girl! Go to your beanbag" - very useful if you know a Norwegian family with a dog, or have a Norwegian girlfriend and a beanbag for her to go to.

Don't worry, I don't carry the entire contents of the book in my head or anything!

Ah, now I get it.

Hmmm, the Norwegian for beanbag. I like the sound of that. Nicely odd.

*sound of serious consideration*

I quite like Geggs - but if you really think so - how about 'Lobber'?

I think I'd rather be a beanbag than a pair of shoes.

That said, I've never actually seen real 'lobber'. Perhaps they have some redeeming features. Though given the way they are described in the book, they probably don't.

And now I think about it, the keys for Geggs all located fairly close to each other on the keyboard, making it easy to type. Sakkosekken is far more difficult to type, but I could shorten it to Sak for a signature I guess.

I still thinking about this.

Gnomon - time to move on

Perhaps you'd get Bumblebee or Naita, both genuine Norwegians, to verify that word before you commit yourself.

Well I checked the spelling in the book this morning.

I just hope that Danny spelt it right at the time.smiley - biggrin
