"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's not really Tim Burton's movie, though. He just produced it.

I've got a British magazine from 1962 and the society page covering a benefit event has the best batch of uber-British names.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Miss Lorna Dingwall-Main

That sounds like a porn name. "I grew up on the corner of Dingwall and Main, with my little dog Lorna".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Miss Gem Mouflet is actually the dodgy one. She's offering private dance lessons under Personal Services.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday, SuziQ!

ION, I am at work with the intention of working for a few hours, then taking my poor, snotty-nosed kid home early. Unfortunately I fear that it will be hard to work with him once I'm home.

Things that keep me from working: my tendency to waste time on the internet when I have only an hour or two to myself. Oops.

Although having an uber-British name doesn't necessarily guarantee that someone's English: eg, Lleyton Hewitt.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Although having an uber-British name doesn't necessarily guarantee that someone's English: eg, Lleyton Hewitt.

He is from a Commonwealth country, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm mostly just amazed somebody was actually named Drusilla.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Isn't Lleyton Hewitt an uber-Welsh name?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He is from a Commonwealth country, though.

It's like the Nigel thing. Odds on, British or black Commonwealth.

Mr. Hardy Amies

A very famous couturier. To the Queen, no less.
