As for this bloke – poor chap, going through life with that name. His title only makes it more absurd.

I was once on a course with two brothers with the surname Cockman – one pronounced it as spelt, the other as Kohman.

Like Bruce Cockburn the singer – it’s pronounced ‘Kohburn’.
Luckily the doctor didn’t also have a more unfortunate first name…

This reminds me of the recent fuss over here in the States- in Texas, surprise surprise- caused by some bible-thumping idiots who are against the mandatory innoculation of young girls against HPV, claiming it will incite them to run out and have sex.

I bought the stuff I have at a local novelty shop. Not to eat- I couldn’t eat it anyway- but because I thought it was funny. And it matched a rooster plaque I had in the kitchen already.
Where did you find yours, az? I wonder if they have a booming import business. It’s possibly a more popular flavor than some people let on. 😉
