I got an email from Mike Dytham, a project manager at Barclay’s, who’s been doing anagrams for all the people in his department. The new names are… interesting :o)
- Chris Benton = Robin Stench (a proud 2nd place!)
- Claire Rainbird = Cider Librarian (a creditable 3rd place)
- Dan Hartwright = Hard Thwarting
- James Knupfer = See Frank Jump
- Tom Coulbeck = Emu Boltcock (what a great name!)
- Matt Risk = Smart Kit (or even Mark Tits)
- Kate Baron = Anorak Bet or Oat Banker
- Dominic Gloag = Claiming Good, Coiling Dogma
- Anup Purohit = Pinup Author
- Harris Musau = Samurai Rush (he is one of my Kenyan team)
The winner of best anagram goes to the name of their department, PMC operations, which shall henceforth be known as (pick your favourite) Campsite P0rno, impact snooper, promotes panic, or tampon copiers.
Mike also informed me that my new name is now Axe Fulljerk. Thanks, Mike! From now on, you’re “The Dimm Yak”.
What are some good anagrams for your name, your co-workers’ names or your department’s name? Get a competition going and see what people come up with.
