Oh god, one bloke nicknamed 'ten to six' as his head sits with a slight tilt to the right.
And 'chaw the plank' as he has a bit of a jaw wobble going on

Down visiting a mate of mine once and he asked me if I'd mind collecting Turf from the head of his road.
Bit of a random request surely but seem as he'd been drinking all that day i figured he might otherwise take a notion himself to get behind the wheel, i thought id better be a mate so I said "sure!"

Turns out Turf was a guy who was down visiting my mate for the weekend.

grateface · 14-02-2016 03:41PM

Have a mate called Butch. Dad was a butcher.

His mate is called egg. Both fellas have another mate called hen. And hen is a guard. Hen is a pig.
Where would you get it.

Another fella whose name I've heard is lego. Called that as he's always in bits.

Finally great name for any mates girlfriend whose a bit of an emotional wreck when out drinking.

Bonnie Tyler..... Cuz very now and then she falls apart.

He was called metronome.

A guy around here is called "Slim". Apparently he was once slim, but since I have known him he has been about 30 stone. Took a long time to get used to calling him slim .... As it felt as if you were taking the Piss out of him!!

We called my brother The JCB, 'cause when you said you were finished at mealtimes, he'd DIG into whatever was left on your plate!

A fellow worker was called Fairy Lights 'cause he blinked constantly

Then we had Tommy Two Times...every time he spoke nobody could understand him & he always had to repeat himself.
