I like "Sadie". Sadly though it needs to be wrestled from the mouths of Alsatian owners. I knew a Sadie at Primary School. Tall, bright and intelligent - as far as I can tell she's now with a firm of London Architects which echoes nicely the individualism she had as a youngster. Her Mum was lovely too, very sophisticated. They drove Citroens, and had a beautiful Citroen DS Safari - followed later by a Citroen Visa (the last of the eccentrics).
Let's not forget that Eric Morecambe's Mum was called Sadie too. Look out for the Victoria Wood docudrama at Christmas about his (and Ernies) early years. Filmed in and around Morecambe, naturally.

Very nice name, Sadie. Unfortunately -- or perhaps fortunately -- for some reason it reminds me of Ian Dury's masterpiece F@%#ing Ada.

You don't get many Weylands anymore. Not everyone can carry it off as well a stubber can.

I hadn't heard it said for ages. It's usually F@%#ing Hell nowadays, but I suppose back in the 60s some people didn't like to blaspheme.

It's usually F@%#ing Hell nowadays, but I suppose back in the 60s some people didn't like to blaspheme. We used to say f@%#ing A, for reasons unknown. Or, in milder contexts, bloody Nora. My godmother, name of Nora, didn't like that phrase for some reason. (She was a nurse who lost a finger to an exploding baby's bottle and promptly cleared off to Australia, thus seriously neglecting her godmotherly responsibilities. So you can blame her, Trubs.)
