B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o

Munch has recently spotted some examples of BBC news correspondents having names that fit the story they are reporting on e.g. Jonah Fisher, the BBC's whaling correspondent or how about Mark Avery, bird behaviour expert?

Well, now I can contribute one of my own. Here's the contents of an email I received earlier today:

Gender Reassignment Surgery

Approximately 300 'sex-change' operations are carried out in the UK every year. Half of these are performed within the NHS. What does this type of surgery involve? And is NHS funding justified given the monetary limitations we face?

Lead NHS Gender Reassignment Surgeon, Mr James Bellringer, Charing Cross Hospital, performs approximately 100 procedures a year. He discusses the complex nature of his work, both surgical and psychological. Come along to hear what should prove to be a very interesting talk and discussion.

All welcome.
