Has anyone else noticed the guy's name reporting on the Ashes for the BBC?

take a look: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6184772.stm

I imagine a conversation once went like this:

Mrs Dirs: Uuuughhhhh [giving birth, that's what it sounds like]

Nurse: Congratulations, it's a boy!

Mr Dirs: Great, let's call him Ben, a fine, strong name for a boy...

Nurse: Are you sure, Mr Dirs?

Mrs Dirs: What do you mean, Nursey?

Nurse: Don't you think he'll get the piss ripped out of him at school?

Mr Dirs: Nonsense, I don't know what you're on about!

Mrs Dirs: Of course. Ben is a fine name, my son shall be called Ben.


Most unkind, methinks.

BTW, anyone wants to welcome me to the main forum, go right ahead!
