Right name in right place

So there i was waiting for a check up at my local NHS hospital when looking on the different consultants doors i noticed two names.

 

Dr Moriarty was two doors down from Dr Watson...

 

Oh it would have made my day if one of them had shouted out for a Mr Holmes!!!

I can't top Watson and Moriarty, but my dentists names over the years have had a curios symmetry - I had the same dentist for my first 38 years until I moved to Hampshire, his name was Elder - so, a name beginning with El.

 

The name of my first dentist after moving was Elstub - another El.

 

Elstub moved on and I was left to the tender mercies of another dentist whose name was English - didn't quite make the El but another E.

 

I can't tell you my current dentist's name, it begins with Pana and ends with an otis or an akis but with another two alphabets worth of letters in between.

 

 

Can't remember where this came from, if I lifted it from here, my apologies to the original contributor.

When I was many moons younger I went to do some evening classes at the University of Strathclyde. They had a one Professor Salmon whose door plaque revealed him to be an Ichthyologist.

Elementary my dear DaveH

My two woodwork teachers at school were Mr Naylor and Mr Sloggett.

 

Let's see if that drags any old boys out of the,.... errr,......... woodwork.

Can'r remember our woodwork teachers name. We called him Colonel Blink because he blinked a lot.

 

We called the Latin teacher "German Geordie" or "Jimmy Half Lugs" He didn't appreciate either. He had been in the RAF during the war. The reason he did not have much in the ear lobe department was because Fritz cut them off him when he was being tortured.At least that was the story.

 

He DID look like the stereotypical German though. He had that Teutonic square head, close cropped grey hair and wore the old NHS bicycle type specatcles. I liked him a lot. I wish I could remember his name.

 

He also took us for RE not the most rivetting of subjects, but old Geordie (his name WAS George) had another string to his bow. He was an expert in Anciant Mesoptamia. All it took was for someone to mention Mesopotamia, the Tigris or the Euphrates or Ur or Chalea or Chaldeans and religion went out the window to be replaced by a fascinating talk on ancient history.
