Remember Remember the 5th November
I’ve just popped home from work during my dinner break to pick up some important info I forgot to bring with me this morning.

As I was throwing the papers back into the car one of the people who lives on the opposite side of the road from me came out to tell me his wife had given birth to a baby boy earlier today. I did the usual things like asking how are mum and baby doing etc and then it came to him telling me the sprogs name:

Him: Oh yeah we’ve decided to call him Guy, you know considering the circumstances

Me: Ah, because its the 5th November,.

Him: No

Me:(Thinks to self it can’t be because she was pregnant by a bloke she didn’t know)

Him: It’s because the wife has decided to name the kid after that bloke she fancies off of the Robin Hood program.

Me:.....What?

After a brief explanation, it turns out that that they were naming the poor little bugger after the character Guy of Gisbourne played by Richard Armitage in the BBC series.

As for the circumstances he mentioned it turns out that him and his other half may have conceived during a little role play session involving him dressed as Robin Hood. Why he chose to explain this to me (in great detail) still escapes me and how he thought I already knew about that is a subject I didn't think about until typing this up.

I also haven’t eaten a thing for dinner now as the mental picture of them dressed as Robin Hood and Maid Marian has made my eyes bleed.

I just hope any of little guys future girlfriend/boyfriends don’t ask where he got his name from.
