It's not a coincidence: George Foreman agreed to put his name on that range of grills and market them.

The closest I have is that there is, as far as I know, an actor named Richard Graham.

I've just done a Google search for my name, and I'm seventh and ninth on the results :)

(the MP for Gloucester also has the same name as I...)

(There are another couple of naming coincidences that people related to me have as well... including one of the writers for Doctor Who and EastEnders, and one of the Monty Python crew...)

Oh the irony! :lol:

I think there's a law related to the death penalty with my surname, and I share my name with a Monty Python producer

What they haven't told you is that there used to be somebody exactly the same as you with the same name. But as he was superfluous to requirements he had to leave.

He went, the extra Myles.

Any chance you can use your psychic powers to predict when the trains are going to run well? :wink:

Jackie Chan played me in a movie about my life.

(I know he's credited as "Jimmy Tong", but at one point he does say the line "The name's Tong. James Tong.")
