randomly show a fortune-cookie philosophy

Popular pet names Rover, Cheryl and Kate could be a thing of the past. Banks
are now advising parents to think carefully before naming their child’s first
pet. For security reasons, the chosen name should have at least eight
characters, a capital letter and a digit. It should not be the same as the
name of any previous pet, and must never be written down, especially on a
collar as that is the first place anyone would look. Ideally, children should
consider changing the name of their pet every 12 weeks.

Expectant mothers have also been advised to choose carefully where they give
birth. Anywhere that has a place name is best avoided. These are listed on
maps, which are freely available on the Internet.

It’s a good idea too, security experts have warned, for children not to get
friendly with certain teachers. For instance, Miss Smith may be enriching your
son’s education but he should try and see if he can’t make a favourite of
Father O’Grinnighan-Scythe II, even though it may mean a lot of staying late.

We tried to call Barclays’ security expert R0b Ste!nway for a comment, but he
was not available for 24 hours, having answered his phone incorrectly three
times in succession.
