Funny - I watched the first part of the Diana Dors story last night, dunno when the second part is on, but have no intention of watching it anyway. I wanted to know how she died, because I couldn't remember what happened to her, so I had a look on Wiki and found out her real name was Diana Mary Fluck, and later on the Wiki page, this:

Quote"   They asked me to change my name. I suppose they were afraid that if my real name Diana Fluck was in lights and one of the lights blew...   "


According to Dors' autobiography, she was once asked and readily agreed to open a fĂȘte in her home town of Swindon, England. Prior to the festivities, Dors lunched with the local vicar, during which she informed him that her real name was Diana Fluck. The vicar became somewhat worried about his planned speech. After lunch, they arrived at the fĂȘte at the appointed time. The vicar, totally unnerved about mispronouncing "Fluck", introduced Diana with these immortal words:"   Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you our star guest. We all love her, especially as she is our local girl. I therefore feel it right to introduce her by her real name; Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the very lovely Miss Diana Clunt.

:grin:

Planning is an unnatural process - it is much more fun to do something.  The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression. [Sir John Harvey-Jones]

Reminds me of this one from Playboy (I think).
New teacher addresses the class,
"The school is open tomorrow for parents day. Tio help you remember ny name, which is Mrs. Prussy, just think about it rhyming with Pussy and place an r in it."
Little Johnny's parents arrive next day and head for Johnny's class where Mrs Prussey welcomes them.
"I'm so glad your son remembered my name with that rhyme."
"Yes, Mrs Krunt."
