Went In Iceland Today

[Bathsheba]

and two things happened to cause brain-freeze.

1) I heard a grossly overweight + heavily tattoed girl calling for her female child to behave...the child's name was Sambucca.

2) I saw and just had to buy a Chicken Tikka Lasagne, even though my brain had difficulty processing the concept ;)

...the times they are a'changin'.

[Bazile]

Are you sure you didn't have a couple before you ventured out ?

[mallyh]

expect chardonnay and heinikin were at school lol x

[Bathsheba]

nope Bazile...absolutely certain...I never touch the stuff ;)

[Mamyalynne]

Never had one but it is one of their best sellers - let us know.

About a month ago I think I heard someone call their child Sambucca as well, Bathsheba. If it wasn't that, it was something similar. Beyond belief.

[EcclesCake]

I know of someone who has just named their daughter Ptarmigan. I'd love to know where her parents were when she was conceived?!?!

[Bathsheba]

@ Mamya....well it was only 89p, + it's 500gr, so it's a cheap meal if it's nice ;)

I bet Ptarmigan will get goosed when she is older!!

[gness]

Wasn't there a Sambuca in that school programme....Waterloo Road? Maybe came from there.....

I did tell people my second was to be named after my tipple.....☺

[dunnitall]

Just wondering what the 'grossly overweight and tattooed girl' has to do with the name of the child, spose it could add that touch of ambience to your statement lol.

[Bathsheba]

@ bookbinder...yes, indeed.
@ mallyh...lol!
@Stephen...it does beggar belief
@ eccles...well that's just crazy

[Bathsheba]

[Bathsheba]

Lol @ gness!! x x

[dunnitall]

There was a girl called Grayling in the primary school I worked in....seems animals names for humans aren't that rare then.

[dunnitall]

Lol Bathsheba....not snobbery just wondering why descriptions are always necessary in some related stories....at least you have a GSOH X

[Bathsheba]

@ dunnitall....;) x x

[gness]

I once had a friend named Mercedes.....I so wanted her to marry someone called.....Morris...or Austin.....and have lots of little minis with car names...☺

[Bathsheba]

Gness...a friend elsewhere has suggested it would be great if she married the footballer Mark Viduka.....*shrugs...no, I haven't got a clue who he is either..* ;)

Mercedes is a lovely name and of course the car is named after a lovely young lady.
