I used to know a guy who’s behind his back nickname was rusty musket. ****ing useless but you couldn’t fire him.

Old guy who lived near us when I was a kid was totally bald but with a huge bushy beard. Known as "upside doon heid"

When i worked night shift in Tesco years ago we called our department manager Peperami as he looked like the pererami man.

 

Also an other guy who worked in the department got called Camel breath, you didn't want to go within 10 feet of him.

Knew a guy who was a total show off about everything he had or done!!

always had to be better than everyone.

his nickname was” eleven a reef “

if you’d been to Tenerife he’d been to eleven a reef

This one isn’t very pc

The place I worked years ago joined up with another department and we had lots of new faces.

one guy looked like he had Down’s syndrome and his nickname was NAM 

it was a wee while later after calling this guy by his nickname I eventually found out it’s meaning!!!😱😱

 

Nearly A M***O

This one wouldn't be deemed offensive but I still like it.

 

A colleague who after 4 or 5 pints would go on a rant which took in everything that had caught his displeasure over the past few days/weeks/months earned the nickname, ANNA. As in, "An' another thing..."

 

I have another pal whose surname is Fairclough, so he could have been Cloughie or he could have been Fairy. I went with the latter and was cheerfully calling him that for months and months. One evening, ANNA looked at me in horror when I said, "See ya, Fairy" and revealed to me that he (Fairy) was in the process of coming out. Wasn't my fault.

Guy I knew Davy got called Peas and Gravy (Its a common one in the east knowing a few peas and gravy's ) 😂 its phased itself out just goes with Peas now. In his mid 30s and going with the nickname still Peas. 

I knew a Davy who also got Peas 'n' gravy, however, this eventually morphed into pea-brain. If you ever spoke to him you'd soon realise why.

You'd certainly not say it this guy, he might have been a bit older, but still looked like a powerful guy. He also, apparently had a very short fuse when he'd had a few bevvies.

I used to work with a girl with the surname Hunter, who got called Munter, after someone had visited her at home and saw that her TV licence, on a corkboard in the kitchen, had a typo.

Oi! I've shaken hands with that man. I was only wearing briefs at the time, too...

 

Was that before or after Jimmy Savile made your dream of milking a cow blindfolded true?

Yes, it was worn on one leg, or both sometimes.  I think that sadly, it had some connection to Polio.

 

 

Good pal of mine at school had to wear a caliper. He had got Polio as a young child. There was also another boy at school who had one as well. 

My pal Peter didn't let it keep him back and the teacher hated him because he was such a cheeky wee scamp. 😁

I too had a friend at school who had to wear one.  By some folk, he was treated as though he was mentally ill and sadly, he was mocked for it.

 

Children can be awfy cruel, Dug.

Speaking of Jeremy when he passed away it was decided that his funeral would be on a compost heap. 

 

In the Spring he would make an appearance on a new TV Show "Watch Out, Beadle's A Sprout"

 

His funeral was set for 1pm on the Church Clock. The big hand was at 12 and the little hand was at 1.

 

For funeral catering they had a small finger buffet.

 

The original plan was to cremate Jeremy, film it and release it as a TV show called "you've been flamed"

All true ! Sadly Jeremy's career  came to an end in the digital age.
