There was a recent court case reported in which four members of a family by the name of - Fury - were accused of murdering a man by kicking and stamping him at the wedding of their relative Billy (not the 60s' singer). The victim had the temerity to ask one of the female Furys for a dance. A year afterwards and Billy is suing his wife for divorce.
In the following week's newspaper a case was reported of three girls aged 12, 14 and 15 who were banned from being at large in their housing state beyond something like 9 pm because of their habit of shouting, throwing eggs, etc in the early hours of the morning. Their surname - Spittle!
This week the courts were quiet.

Erm, it's a good thing we don't pronounce our name 'Batty' then! By the way, you are now featured at long last on my Links list... who says nagging doesn't work? ;-)
Well Batty, Baty, Beatty and Beattie are regional spellings of the same name from illiterate times.
Also, longevity is commonplace on this side of the family...often accompanied by Alzheimers.
You didn't wnat to know that.
