Nimrod Ping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nimrod Ping (died 3 July 2006) was a British architect and politician who served as a councillor at the former Brighton Borough Council (now Brighton and Hove) for eight years from 1991 to 1999, until he became physically incapacitated through liver failure caused by Hepatitis C. He was one of the first openly gay councillors in Britain.
Thanks to his unusual name, he achieved national fame after the BBC Radio 2 presenter Terry Wogan used his name as scale against which to compare other interesting names.
