What can one say about Kim Kardashian that hasn’t already been said about piles?

I mean if regard is had to the endless self-created spin, which appears to fascinate the media and irritate the punters, then perhaps irritable bowel syndrome might have made for the better comparison.

Enter the baby.

Granted Kanye West and Kim deserve all the congratulations, mazeltovs and whatever else people wish the parents on these joyous occasions but having said that aren’t we entitled to know the identity of the geniuses and wenners who made up the baby-naming paneel?

Step forward the dogs who named this kid North West (the name says F all).

Of course it has become trendy for movie and rock stars to give their children ridiculous names.

Of course faced with these wenners the paneel that was charged with naming baby West/Kardashian was at a loss.

How the frock do you beat Pilot Inspektor, Audio Science or Moxie Crimefighter ie come up with a name so ridiculous that it dwarfs those and Apple combined.

Not easy.

Herewith the Formula they employed which you can use when naming your next child.

FORMULA 1 (nothing to do with motor racing)

Borrow a friend’s car (make is irrelevant).

Cut enough hose pipe to reach from your exhaust to your passenger window.

Ensure that only carbon monoxide is getting in.

Start trying to come up with names.

If they are David, Alan and Paul you haven’t been in the car long enough.

Try setting fire to the back seat because this might speed up the process.

If after many hours you’re still thinking of names like Natasha, Alexandra and Brittney you might have a leak.

The best bet is to allow one of the paneel out of the car. He siphons ten or so litres of petrol from his car and pours it over the vehicle.

If the adjudicators (non paneel members outside the car) can still hear anything coherent stop the process before someone gets hurt.

Don’t fret because you too are still going to get a trendy name for your baby.

All you have to do is ensure that all members of the paneel have a full frontal lobotomy and repeat the steps above.

Please don’t write in to thank me.
