I think there's already a Helen Back.

I can only see it flying in some provincial town calling bingo numbers to a roomful of pensioners. On a Tuesday.

I can’t decide if it’s annoying or not, like how Ella Vaday’s name made me more and more irritated the more I heard it

Make every day ELLA VADAY!

Sade brought her Volvo in for a service and my aunt served her, she was lovely apparently.
The HUSBAND HOWEVER bit of a cunt

A friend used to tell a similar story, regarding their law firm, and Barbara Knox / Sue Nicholls. I’ll leave you to guess which was which.

To be clear, I don’t believe they used to pop in together.

More of a "TIL", but turns out we skip a leap year if the year is divisible by 100, but not 400.

For the longest time, I was confused whenever I saw "Westminster VI" in a tweet.

Westminster Six? What the fuck is that? Some sort of polling methodology?

Last week it hit me. Voting Intention.
