Everybody must know someone who has a great nickname, I don't mean your Chalky whites or your commoner names, I mean names that really fit the person.

My favourite was the name given to a local headmaster who was very tall and never seemed to have a cigarette out of his mouth.

The kids called him, 'The Towering Inferno'

Let's hear more for a good laugh


Happy Days!

When I was in junior school a former head teacher had a big nose that had a bend in it.

His nickname was 'Concorde Nose' :D

Well one that is the funniest nickname that I've heard is from only fools and horses.

"The Turbanator"- a sikh on a motorcycle that doesn't have to wear a helmet.

I remember a guy who used to go down the City Hall back in the 50's. He had something not quite right with his eyes, they bugged out a little and seemed to stare, they called him 'Blinks'.

Two that made me laugh were: We had a teacher in Senior school who was called miss sarson and she was very strict and used to pull the girls up for wearing makeup of jewellery, her name was Vinegar Knickers.
Another was an old friend of mine who knew a bloke in the pub with one eye higher up then the other and they called him Isiah.

There is a lad in sheffield somewhere who goes by the nickname Cabbage, apparently a big drinker!
