Spurn Point was originally named in the 18th century from its fame as a Georgian dogging site as Sperm point.

It was rebranded by Queen Victoria after she was spurned there by a swarthy young blacksmith who remarked to his friend "I wouldn't touch that miserable dumpy dwarf with yours, mate"

Filthy O'Pervert was admitted to the priesthood in 1965.

His Bishop was absolutely shocked, shocked when certain allegations were made against him. "We could never have predicted it" said His Grace, Weirdo McNonce, "especially as all relevant papers were accidentally burned to a crisp in my garden rubbish incinerator on an unknown date in the late 1990s".
