15 October

Well, occasionally – when he has nothing better to do than order items on the Internet!

For he, like the rest of us, is wary of having his identity stolen, so, a little like the self-styled Lord Voldemort (whose real name is, it has to be said, just pathetic), he has split it into several pieces: if a piece gets fraudulently taken, he still has the other pieces – that sort of thing.

And each piece has a different name, Ant Dammot, Toad M. Mant, Damon Matt, Tam Modant, that sort of thing – so don’t buy insurance from anyone with such a name, or you’ll be horrified to find out who the underwriters are!

Why he doesn’t anagrammatize his real name (as, at least, Tom Riddell had the decency to do) remains a mystery, because, for example, the one immortalized as Homer’s Arctic Lay gave rise to such wonders as Trashy McAlister, and Matt Damon (the name) does not. Probably a matter best taken up with his agent, as Matt is too concerned with dodging international terrorist plots, and the possibility of threats on the life of his pet cobra, to be much occupied with these daily foibles of the anagram community...
