Clown Symonds was one of the best posters on this forum, he is missed. However, Clown Roy speaks partially some truth.

Clown Symonds was a tool. I don't see what could possibly have given you the impression you've got there. I guess I must have ignored so many of his posts that I missed the good stuff. :blink:

I liked Clown as well, his stuff was generally more funny and tongue-in-cheek then BLEs, or so it seemed.

How does the name-creation of "Clown Roy" mirror anyone more than "Clown Symonds"?
They've almost all been name-of-player accompanied some other adjective (Ross Douglas excepted), though obviously his initial Shane Warne was name only. They've also been grammatically correct - ie (unlike ClownSymonds) with capitals and spaces (BingLeeElectric excepted) unlike so many. It just instantly struck me as the same as "God Jayasuriya" and "Saqqy Mush".

Also, the location kinda gave it away for me. Ealing is just the latest in a line of clever places.
