In
September I was given a tortoise egg. The little fella hatched
in October and I asked for people to submit names for him/her
(it's pretty hard to determine sex when they're this small).
Hundreds
of people wrote in with suggested names. It's been tough
to choose but I've finally picked one. Thanks to everyone
who took the time and I'm sorry I've not had a chance to
write back to you all personally.
There
were a hell of a lot of Shellys, Sheldons, etc... and a
load of Ninja Turtle and Finding Nemo names. Too many in
fact... Also, Dave and Steve were popular. Not sure why
but I kinda liked them. Still, I've already got a cat called
Steve so that was out. And lastly, a fella called Neil said
I could fuck his sister if I chose his suggestion. Cheers
for the offer Neil.
So
firstly, here's a list of some of the noteworthy ones or
those that were close:

And finally, the winner of a competition to name
a baby tortoise that will outlive the lot of us is...
"Lemon"
as suggested by Paul Iddon. Nice one Paul.
I'm sure lot's of you will say "Lemon?!? That's fucking
shite! Mine was much better than that. Paul Iddon's a f*****
**** ****** **** *********..." but I kinda like it.
It's nice and simple and while lacking the gentle charm
of Super Radiation Network, it more than makes up for it
in practicality. So click here
to see Lemon in all his miniature glory.
And
thanks again to everyone who sent in their suggestions.
Next
time: name my benign tumour!
