Does anyone else call their spatula Horace?

Is spatula some sort of euphemism ?

Spatula was the ancient Roman God of poetry!

I've not got any Roman gods in my kitchen.

If it quacks like a Horace and walks like a Horace it's got to be a spatula

Once upon a time there was a commercial pop radio station called Radio Luxembourg to which people of my generation listened avidly despite the opposition of our parents, whom it annoyed intensely. One of the adverts which was heard regularly on the station was for a magical system (called the Infra-draw Method) guaranteed to give you weekly wins on the footy pools. All you had to do was send £5 I think it was (a lot of money in 1958) to Horace Bachelor. Just say his name a few times ....   Can't believe there's no-one else on here who remembers Horace.

Ah. If you'd said your spatula was actually called Spatula.......

Mine would be called Anoia, if it has a name.

I listened to Caroline but not Luxembourg, so mine is called Spatula Clark.

Through intense exploration of our cutting-edge technologies, such as the award-winning, ergonomic shape of our avalanche shovels, the simplicity and functionality of an Angle Piton, 
and the molded plastics our harnesses’ reliable gear loops, we narrowed in on exactly what Honnold was looking for in a spatula.

But are you talking about Mr Bachelor, the album, or possibly both?

Oh, and is it a gamble every time you fry an egg?

Now it's my turn to be baffled.

Really? You can't have been very cool!

In reply to Rog Wilko:

I've never been cool (do I add smiley or sad to that?)

You must have a small degree of coolth to use emojis (though you didn't).

Horace Bachelor was a gambling 'expert' who lived in or came from Keynsham. I believe the Bonzos referenced him when they titled their album.  

OP Rog Wilko 04 May 2020
In reply to Bob Kemp:

I'm afraid my ignorance of some musical genres knows no bounds. I went to Uni and lost interest in just about everything which had interested me before. Higher Ed can take people like that. That's why I was baffled.

Pleased to hear someone else knew about Horace, though.

Still baffled about the egg.

In reply to Rog Wilko:

The egg thing was just a bad joke around the idea that frying an egg can be a bit of a gamble, hence Horace being a good name. It doesn't get better with explanation - sorry! 

Horace was featured in the fictional band of 'The Intro and the Outro'. On percussion, which still baffles me now.
