    That nicknames I can remember were: Nob, Butt, T4, Rat, Jeepers Creepers, Flick and Monkey.

    T4 got his simply because that was the room number he was assigned for a parent teachers meeting in my 5th year, my class assigned the nickname to him and it stuck, kids years later were still calling him it even though they would have had no idea why or where it came from.

    I went to a convent school and one of the nuns teaching us was called Sr. Gertrude, we called her "Dirty Gerty" (cos she was - I'm telling ye guys, those nuns only had one thing on their minds - and it wasn't God!!!)

    That's the Green in Tralee. I remember those ;) In fairness Psycho Bob was a nice guy, short tempered but never raised a hand or anything out of order. Paddy B on the otherhand....if you were in the school when he was there (early/mid 90's) you'd remember the fights.
