Stainbank

It is 4th November 2015 and I have completed an eight hour working shift for the first time. I am 27 years old. Still, better late than never I suppose. Fortunately I got through the last two hours mostly by watching Bayern Munich's excellent 5-1 humping of Arsenal. Currently decompressing by shovelling Peanut M&Ms into my mouth. Will I ever learn?

Following a tip on Twitter, I have very recently used this link to find out how common my surname is across the world. It transpires there are a mere 1,241 Stainbanks* in the world. We were previously aware that most of the world's Stainbanks come from South Africa. I was unaware that apparently all but 90 are originally from there. These numbers should perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt but I found it interesting nonetheless.

According to those results, there are 75 people in the UK with my surname. I reckon that leaves a pretty decent chance that I'm the only Richard Stainbank in the country. If your name is Richard Stainbank, please get in touch. So that I can destroy you. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

*When England play a very small nation in the European or World Cup qualifiers, the media like to say that the country's entire population could fit into Old Trafford or Wembley or something. I cannot find an English football ground small enough for 1,241 people to fit into. It appears that all of the Stainbank's could fit into the Clapham Grand with room for an additional nine guests.
