  Still alive and well, he was interviewed as just another mass-goer on RTÉ News the other night. I assume John’s joke has to do with the fact that Don’s surname is actually spelled Cockburn (which is unfortunate if pronounced phonetically!)

Worked in a telecoms company years back, remember one of the guys on the next team over jumping up and waving his arms madly at the PC while turning quite red trying not to laugh..
The woman he was speaking to was called:
Fanny Phart.

I once read of a newsreader being worried about causing WW3 by possibly mixing up the first few words of the phrase “the West Bank and Gaza Strip”.

  Also a True story. Did Kung Fu as a child. We had lad teaching, he was Seefu? Bates. When he progressed to next level in the Kung Fu school he became a Master, and INSISTED we call him by correct title! My mother nearly choked on her tea when I told her I needed a cheque for Master Bates.
