The only two I really remember was: Cleveland Beavers, hardly funny And Mustapha Schitt, which was bloody hilarious. I used to work with a woman called Catherine Kinghorn. She had a brother but what were the parents thinking when they named him? His name is Ivor jono, uttoxram75 and kevinhectoring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
