I once worked with a girl known to her colleagues as Mortification McCarthy because on Monday mornings she ended every story of her weekend antics with "Well, I tell ya, I was mortified..." Also, her first name was Jenny so there were plenty of Playboy references too.

I had a lecturer in college who we called penfold because he was identical to Dangermouse's sidekick. I can't recall his real name now and I only left college two years ago!

Ah good is the wrong word to descibe it, sufferable maybe. There were some characters alright. Jesus I knew I was missin a few like Toddy and Bender. Remind me who Fonnix and Pebbles were again. Maybe I was before your time.:D

Hatchet Head Higgins: Rather large forehead.
Sexy Joe: Not sexy at all but loved women.
Dougal: This was before Father Ted came out and it was related to the show called "The Magic Roundabout". Check it out and see if you can get it.
Sid Vicious: History teacher, drove a Polo, wore tweed, loved Nazis.
Half Shirt: Balbriggan female.
Fly by Night: Extremely dodgy Derry lass. Very sexy though.

My personal favourite is a guy who was called Bastard Head or BH for short, when you called to his door, you had to ask for Brian.

Ah yes, I remember Dick Fingers (we used to call him 'The Grunt'), Funsize, Joe, Microphone, and Chyna. I don't know the rest though. I remember 'Frosty', he was another maths teacher, now retired.

There was an Irish teacher going by a name that I won't mention, it wasn't exactly politically correct!

Much more likely that I was before yours .... Pebbles was Sr. Evelyn (cos of the freckles I think) and Fonnix was the Halloran.

Escaped in 1998 myself and that happened before my time. Apparently he took it pretty well. He was always an easy goin' ould sort.

We had a career guidence teacher nicknamed Obi-Wan.
He was the spitting image of Obi-Wan Kenobi and used to advise
us on our futures

There was a woodwork/tech drawing teacher called Edward Shovel Hands
and another woodwork/tech drawing teacher called Bun Head.

The computer teacher was nicknamed Qwerty.

A frail and elderly home economics teacher was known as
The Ghost Who Walks

There was a "Red Jumper Man", cant remember what he thought but
he always wore a red jumper.

A French teacher who's surname was Ceaser was nicknamed Gus after
the Arsenal player. She wasnt impressed!

There was a few Big Birds and also a Freaky and Loopy but cant remember
how they got thier names!

In our GAA club at home, there was this fella who wasn't quite the full shilling and was an absolutely hopeless footballer and also had a very bad limp, but because he trained with EVERY team and was ALWAYS on the subs ended up with possibly more county medals than anyone in the club. He arrived at training one day with a Derry jersey (around 93) and declared Joe Brolly was his favourite footballer. Henceforth he became universally known as 'Brolly'.
Now a few years later and action replay with another useless fella with high notions. The only difference was this lad wasn't quite as slow as the original.
His nickname - 'Turbo Brolly'.

There is currently a professional boxer in England whose name is Christopher Bacon. By inserting one letter he became the classic - Chris P Bacon !

There's a woman at work who's a bit (read : hugely) mannish. She's got a great nickname :

Trevor.

Sometimes the simple ones are best.

One lad in my class got the nickname 'Slasher' after an unfortunate announcement over the school intercom. A lot of bikes' tyres were being slashed in front of the school so the principal made an announcement about it. Something along the lines of "There have been a large number of bikes having their tyres slashed recently and such behaviour will not be tolerated.....and could Paul ***** please come to principal's office". Now the second statement was unconnected but because it came straight afterwards the teacher pounced and made a show of him in front of the class. The nickname 'Slasher' has stuck since and any crime in the local area involving tyres of any nature is immediately attributed to him.

Hard Larry · 29-03-2007 07:17PM

Woodwork teacher called Woodcock...he was christened Timberwilly.

Used to work in a factory with a guy called Blah Blah because he wouldn't STFU

In the same factory a guy was employed a while latter and he too wouldnt STFU so they were christened Blah1 and Blah2

In my bro's job they call all the Nigerian asylum seekers/Foreign National workers who work alongside them the Bloods or the Brothers

Currently we are ragging on a guy in work we call Flipper...cause he has a head like a Dolphin. And another guy we call Catweasle due to his unkempt appearance reminding us of the character from 'Worrzell Gummage'
