Anyone remember Richard Stilgoe? Little bearded chap who used to play the piano, sing comic songs (usually very fast, just to show you he could) and create curious anagrams of his own name, including Goliath Strider and Giscard O'Hitler?

Well, you may be interested to know that I have found another of these anagrams, and it is Scare Holt Rigid. Just thought you'd all enjoy that.

I was creating anagrams of my name yesterday. callboy crank was my favourite, i think...

I remember Richard Stilgoe all right, I've got a concert tape of him performing with Peter Skellen (got halfway into the living room to look for the tape before I remembered Skellern's name). There's some lovely comic songs and a fantastic duet of the 'Black and White Rag' (theme from 'Pot Black'), played at the speed of light. Well worth listening to.

I've got the same thing on CD! :-) That's actually what made me think of it. Well, that and the fact that Richard Stilgoe makes a guest appearance in the "Nextarillion", of course...

You need a name with lots of letters in to get good anagrams.

Go on, I dare you to do something good with 'Sarah Butler'.

Yes, that was a challenge. Let's see someone rise to it.

(OK, walking straight into *that* one. A banana for the first one to say it.)

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

Er... "bash rat rule"?

I'm tired - will do better when fully awake. Possibly.

I got the following from your name (using the power of the internet, rather than my brain, obviously!)

a bra hustler
herbal sutra
ultra basher
surreal bath
brutal hares
bra hat rules/ bra hat lures

I particularly like "surreal bath". But "herbal sutra" sounds like it could be interesting...

Do something pretty while you can...

in fact I can barely think of a name with so many anagrams

real bat rush?
shrub ale, ta! (just been to a beer festival . . .)

More tomorrow no doubt ( just worked 36 hrs solid, so am a bit zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......



Jesus saves; Buddha does incremental backup.

"Surreal bath" - that's great! I have those, actually. I've got a pair of rubber ducks which won't float upright for anything; I'm convinced they're drunker than Wilfred. Picture if you will one bath-hatted lady of a certain age, up to her neck in bubbles, patiently trying various different tactics to get those blessed rubber ducks to swim in approved duck fashion... yes, I think that probably counts as a surreal bath...

Sylvester says.... *plock*




actually he says peep, cheep, chirrup, squalk,muttermuttergrumblegrumble, oh and now he falls off his pirch whish is followed by a sheepish peek round to see if anyone was looking and a quick scramble back up

A bra hustler - that's Dave R isn't it ?

Something like that!
