Its quite well known that if your university degree is grade 2:2, its sometimes called a "Desmond" - as is Desmond Tutu. Also, a First is a Geoff (Geoff Hurst), a 2:1 is an Attila (Attila the Hun) and a third - which upset me as it is my real name - is a Douglas (Douglas Hurd)

A Geoff Hurst can also mean a 'burst' as in "needing to go for a Geoff Hurst" i.e needing a pee.
