Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps
(Fortheringay is pronounced Fungy, don’t ask me why ask Wodehouse) With hair like knobs of fresh-made butter And a cheerful sort of smile Cyril Fotheringay-Phipps his name Barmy they would call him.
Barmy is a character from the World of PG Wodehouse, a friend of Bertie Wooster. Not a bright chap but a funny one for sure.
