As I hinted at yesterday, four more guinea pigs have come to stay. Jeremy went home ages ago now, and we're looking after someone elses.

Whereas Jeremy has a normal name- a name to be proud of. Something you wouldn't hesistate to call a small child, if it's name was in actual fact, Brennan. The four guinea pigs have silly names- Fudge, Toffee, Bubble and Squeak. I think it's bizarre how people name their pets after the most abstract of things, and not their own children. Why not stick to normal names? Why name in pairs?

I think this double standards in naming must stop. To these ends, I, JAMES O'MALLEY, will give £100 Sterling to the first pair of human twins named Salt & Pepper. The terms are this: the twins must be identical, and they must retain the names until at least their 18th birthday. No shorthand names or nicknames can be used on a regular basis during this time. The prize will be awarded on their 18th birthday- to males in the form of Boots vouchers, and to females in the form of £100 worth of power tools and football tickets.

So, anyone up for the challenge? C'mon any couples reading, get conceiveing! You could win £100!

(And yes, Miss Pedant, I'm aware my childhood Guinea Pigs were named Beano and Twinkle.)
