A man from St Albans has agreed to change his name to Mr Yellow-Rat Foxysquirrel Fairydiddle in exchange for a pint of beer.
Richard James's friends all wrote stupid names on the back of a beer mat.
They then paid £38 to change his name using their laptop. He got a pint in exchange.
But James, who is unemployed, doesn't have the money to change his name back.
"It was funny at the time but now I'm brassed off with all the jokes," he tells The Sun.
"I said I'd do it for a laugh if they bought me a pint. I enjoyed it for a while and had a credit card in my new name and informed my bank. But now I just want to be called Richard again."

Those guys paid 38 pounds in England (about $60 here). In Maine, it's much cheaper to change your name--something like $25 or less. The difficulty this guy now has is finding a job so he can earn enough money to change it back: you won't get many call-backs or interviews with a name like "Fairydiddle."

Father Fairydiddle would be welcome at the Catholic Church, I'm sure (joke--no flames please!).
