Me and the missus used tot be good friends with a Spanish girl (before she went back home) who's name was Paqui. We used to get some right old dirty looks from passer's by when reffereing to her and in the end it just made us want to turn around and tell them to 'mind thier own fookin business'.
Its just the usual though, the papers get hold of something and just rip into it, twist it and make it sound as if it's the most henous crime since Adolf's Nazi movement. It sickens me to be honest, which is exactly why I no longer buy a national paper, just the local rag.
And as for this 'Sooty' business, the guy himself has come forward and says he's had the name for year and years and doesn't mind it one bit. I bet you the papers were gutted when he said that......
Oh, and in other news, Enter the Ninja has just started on Dave. Good old 80's cheese, can't beat it.
