I have looked and looked and trawled through countless internet documentation but I still do not have a clue! Even with the name! Geezer you are going to have to spell it out including the name of the river?

Airthumbs - I reckon once we get the answer we might have to stake Geezer out behind the farting cows when we light up!

edit cos it just clicked

William Thomson - aka Lord Kelvin

On his ennoblement in honour of his achievements in thermodynamics, and of his opposition to Irish Home Rule,[2][3][4] he adopted the title Baron Kelvin of Largs and is therefore often described as Lord Kelvin. He was the first UK scientist to be elevated to the House of Lords. The title refers to the River Kelvin, which flows close by his laboratory at the university of Glasgow, Scotland.

Way to go Matthew! You can try that one on your mates at the pub.

On second thoughts, that might not be such a good idea. Wouldn't want to be responsible for starting a alcohol fueled melee!
