    Holy Joe - He's one of those people who is always involved with the church. He has a load of kids, some are adopted or fostered. He also looks like Jesus.

    One of our teachers was nicknamed Splinter because she looked like Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

    Camp - I think it started over him wearing a blue hoody once. Was a joke at the time but it's stuck now and his family probably call him it too.

    RoboDrunk - totters around town at about .5mph carrying a 2l bottle of cider cradled in his arms like a baby.

    Mental Denise - she's mental.

    Skeletor - skinny lad.

    Beardy twat - lad with a beard. He shaved it off and got renamed 'beardless twat'.

    Best one I ever heard was told by Stephen Fry on QI. He once met a guy called Heinz.... or so he thought. For years he thought the guys name was Heinz and he must be related to "the" Heinz family but it turned out he was once caught **** with a can of beans over his knob. Nobody knew his real name....


    We've a surpluss of Johns down here (doesn't everybody), so everybody has to have a title :

    The Bishop
    The Pope
    The Liar
    The Tool
    The Taxi
    The Mental
    The Business
    etc.

    Unsurprisingly Johhny the Pope and Jonny the Mental is the same person...

    Boobaloop - Massive fat smelly dude who spends his life in the pub, drinking heavily. He was taken off the road permanently recently for dangerous driving ... He'd taken the front seat out of his car and was drving from the readjusted back-seat, because he couldn't fit in the car otherwise :pac:

    "The cross-eyed man" - No one seems to know his real name, but he's another heavy drinker who spends his life in the pub. I've never seen him sober and whenever I do see him, he's usually urinating against someone's car.

    The most famous story about him was the time he stole his elderly neighour's car, while the neighbour was in hospital. He had no driving licence and drove it around while completely smashed, allegedly trying to get to the pub, before crashing in to a ditch and deciding to leave it there.
