Mothering Sunday/Namesake Day

Disaster.

All I can say is: I got cocky. So early was I with Mother's Day this year, that I posted the card on wednesday with a second class stamp. It didn't arrive on time. I'm not in the best books.

This being Namesake Day too, I researched my mum's namesakes. Angela Smith is an MP for Basildon.

I am a man of many namesakes. I must have one of the single most popular names in the UK. There is even a Wikipaedia page devoted to listing famous Mark Smith's. There is of course Mark E. Smith of The Fall, but more randomly, Mark Smith was the real name of Rhino from Gladiators. It's remarkable that we should share the same name, as we are so remarkably similar in appearance too.

Worshie, my research suggests that you don't have a single namesake.
