How many Pauls on Aweb

I count at least 5 identifiable regular responders claiming to be Paul

Anyone else prepared to confess that they are a Paul

Happy to include Paula and Pauline

Never met a Paul who didn't have the aura of an Albert and the magnetism of a Fred. Very similar to a Mervin in their appearance and not an awful lot different to a Franklin in terms of personal hygiene. Would not recommend.

Typical self entitled Bob that does not accept their innate Paulism
You need to go on the HR course yet again

Of course those who are Paul better (be) call(ed) Saul, and of course Saul was previously Jimmy, or James on Sundays, so surely the call for Pauls ought to include a few Jimmys.

It seems that Paul is from the latin for Humble, so as a James, quite happy to be a Paul, even if I do keep it quite.

St. Paul is the patron saint of spreadsheets and even had a little cathedral built in recognition of the contribution to accountancy.

Then there's Paul the Midlands' leading insolvency practitioner (although he's not always visible as a good many of the threads in which he posts are later erased).

Anyone else remember the musical dynamism of Paul and Paula?

No shame
Some people want to be a Paul with all the associated issues
Lots want to secretly support Pauls and we all thank you for for your support

I used to sing that to an ex-girlfriend called Paula. It all went a bit pearshaped when she tried the response part :/

Surely everyone wants to be Steve, who is a mischievous otter.

I swear that comment makes sense in context.

Of course Stephen has the added bonus of rhyming with "Deep and Crisp and Even" which is a great advertising tag line for someone marketing frozen pizza.

Steves are far to rebellious and respectable at the same time to have anything to do with accounts or tax.
