    Had a teacher who always had bananas in his bag, rumours got around it was because of a medical condition. He was called Banana Wario because he also looked like Wario.

    Himself I sometimes call Burger because you can easily turn his last name into it. Needless to say he hates it.

    It was hardly Pissy Fletcher from Mullingar was it?

    Fella of about 30.

    I was acquainted with him in college, we knew him as either 'pissy' or 'piss'. No idea where it stemmed from and never had the courage to ask. He was a volatile individual.

    Could possibly be! This fella was from near Finnea. He was a bit older than me so could be in his early 30s by now

    He was into racing, he had a Granada being prepped in his garage, seemed pleasant enough when I dealt with him though!

    I once bought parts for a car from a fellow in Westmeath called Pissy. Couldn't understand and still can't to this day figure out why he's called that!

    Dalymount Park is on the site of what used to be known as "Pisser Dignam's Field".

    Fella from Cork called John Twomey who was nicknamed “Socket”. I went for years before it clicked, I thought he was an electrician or something. I used deliver milk to a fella in Passage West called “Fat Joe” because he was absolutely identical to the rapper, it was mad.

    I was called “the Jew” due to my swarthy appearance, circumcision and support for Spurs. Which is fair enough to be honest.

    Maybe a little off topic but I worked with a guy always called Junior by his family because he had the same first name as his da. Thing is he swears he was almost 13 years old and making his confirmation before he realised his real name wasn't actually Junior at all. At that point he was already introducing himself as Junior for years and didn't fancy the fact that it wasn't his name. He continues to use Junior as his real name today, now well into his 40s.

  • Worked in a biker bar in the IOM.

    One of the locals was called "Womble" - or so I thought.

    One night after a few drinks (lock in) I asked him where his nickname came from.

    "I was out on Mad Sunday (notorious day between practice week and TT week where all the roads are closed except for bikes) and I came off me bike. Straight over the handlebars, landed about 50ft in front of the bike (I can't remember the reason for the crash, sadly). Walked back to the bike, and there it was, stuck on the handlebar."

    "What was?"

    "A ball. That's why I'm one-ball"

    *bleurgh*
