The worst was definitely "forte" (meaning 'by chance' in Latin, can you tell that I went to private school?) When I interrailed around Europe with a friend we adopted pseudonyms, so my self-chosen nickname is Alfonso Calvino :-) I have been forever dogged by bad jokes, puns and rhymes to do with ‘chance’.

There are lots of guesses as to why this is, but it's all down to a school friend's mum deciding there were many uncanny similarities between me and Pandora from Adrian Mole. I'm not going into further details, and I still haven't decided if it's flattering or insulting but I think Pan is going to stick with me for the rest of my life...
