Ray " Poodle " Parlour, ex Arsenal Footballer

We had two teachers in school who were married to each other. Her maiden name was Miss Sharkey and he had a bit of a limp.

They became Sharkey and Crutch .............in deference to the 70's American TV cop show ( for those of you too young to remember it was called Starsky and Hutch ).

Knew a guy in the american military, a diver called Steve Soto.

He was known as Scuba Steve and he had his name tag on uniform changed to this. He was caught with it one day and chewed out of it so he legally changed his name to Scuba Steve so he could keep it and give the boss two fingers.

Scuba Steve was the man.

Or I heard a guy called Kit Kat. Missing a finger.

I knew a guy called Kit Kat too. He was mates with a friend of mine. He was acting the b0ll0x as a kid and mucking about in a primary school in Ayrfield (Dublin) and the Gardai showed up.

They all ran off thinking they we're getting a chase and climbing a fence wtih those 3 pronged spikes on the top of each part of the fence. His finger with the ring on it got caught on one of the prongs and when jumped over the fence his finger came off.

There was a guy I knew who was called Jimmy Two Stroke.

The background behind his nickname was that years ago he got a hand job from a local girl and his happy ending came very very very quickly................................. Unfortunately for him, she told everybody......................................... thus Jimmy Two Stroke.

For me it has to be South African cricketer Monde Zondeki. His nickname was 'All Hands'. This wasn't because he was a good catcher of the ball.

All Hands Zondeki is fricken brilliant.

Anyone have as good, or better?

Former Rugby League player Martin Offiah's nickname was 'Chariots'

A teacher when I was growing up was known as Two-pint Terry due to his inability to hold his drink (as told to us by another teacher)

I Heart Internet · 07-01-2014 02:18PM

Knew of a girl, vaguely in my circle when living in London for a short while. She wasn't exactly a looker but had a reputation for, err, giving head. So she was known as Mike Dyson.

Nice girl too.

The name Terry really does set a guy up for a lifetime of failure.

I was in that school!

Ex principal was known simply as The Boss, the guy who took over from him was John Major.

There was Whacker, because he was McCarthy - great teacher.

There were 2 female teachers with the same surname - Fat or Skinny was the way to differentiate.

I know two blokes from different parts of Dublin nicknamed "tea bag" because their surname is lyons.

Went to school with a lad who had some sort of nerve thing going on where he would move his head in a side to side action for no particular reason. He be came known as Ding Dong.

Ormus · 07-01-2014 02:47PM

I knew of a guy who was missing part of one ear, so he was nicknamed 18 months...

Terry

Sounds normal right?

Not when the reason for it was that the bloke in question supposedly looked like a Terry's chocolate Orange.

In my early apprentice days, first day on site with all the old fellas in the portacabin having the breakfast..they asked what was my trade and i said a stonemason. They all laughed and said i should have went to college to become a Gynecologist..and so the nickname 'Gyne' stuck on site, and still is..

good buddy of mine called "Gearbox"... used to drive a ready mix truck that seemingly has 17 gears and generally no need to go thru each and every gear... however Gearbox utilised each & every gear as he liked the nice of the pissing air it made.

His brother, "Scrodge" got his nick name as he once spelt Scrooge wrong while doing a crossword in school.

Some other good names on our group of friends would include Spud, Bones, Barnyard/ and or Fritzel, Whack, Skippy, among others.
