Somebody was asking I was boring somebody about
Adelaide names. Tim Blair attributes the observation of the peculiarities of the names of Adelaideans to
Alex Buzo. Examples (some of them spoofs, d'uh): Bright Greene, Pullen Hare, Falkland Waugh, Clayvel Badcock, Steele Hall. Blair also
passed on a method of creating your own name for when you move to that bright thrusting city of the late 1950s. All this comes up again because somebody thinks
South Australia should change its name (note to non Australians, Adelaide is the capital of the state of South Australia). Naturally
Blair is on the case.
