Proper first name is Jeffrey but everyone except my Mother always called me Jef (Jef using only one F, long story).

Used to be a Roydon in Flixton where I grew up. He'll be pushing 50 now.

When you say 'had a fight', do you mean as in a boxing match, or down the pub/hospital/dairy?

Street fight in Manchester. That's interesting about the guy in Flixton. I lived opposite the Bird in Hand for ten years. Didn't meet Roydon though.

I live in East Anglia - there's a village 1 mile from Diss, Norfolk, called Roydon.
Just sayin'.

Yeah, I knew about the village. I'm visiting Norfolk next week. I'll try and pay Roydon a visit.

We also stumbled on a house called Roydon in Grange over Sands.

I wish I had a £1 for every time I've been called that, I'd be a rich man :)

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

He's really tall, like a giraffe so I used to call him giraffrey.
But one day I thought I would spice it up by lobbing a bit of jizz at it.

Trust you :)

I'm happy with my first name, but my surname has always caused confusion.

I know I will always have to spell it out letter by letter when I say it. I don't personally think it's that difficult a name to say, but I think it's more a reflection of people that can't listen or read properly.

It's just my take on things. I was born with my surname. I have no reason to change it, but having spent my whole life having to spell it out letter by letter every single time I say it, I don't understand why parents of newborn children think a unique spelling of a name or one nobody has heard of before is a great idea.

It's not. It's a right pain in the arse their offspring will be burdened with for their whole lives.

'Is that Mr Bradley?'
'
No.

Read my fucking name and say it properly if you can read, please.

MPBlew, I know your pain brother. And I mean every flipping day, often several times.
