Nicknames

Raymond · Nicknames

Today at work I was a tad bored so I decided to go through my mobile phone and delete the numbers of people who I hadn't phoned or heard from in a while.
Scrolling through the list I chuckled to myself to see just how many people I know by their nicknames. These people are so well known by their nicknames I've had to put them in my contact list by their nickname otherwise I wouldn't have known who they were.
They are, Barry the Slag, Dagenham Dave, Fat Sally, Jamaican Jim, Pop-Up Pete, Singapore Sam, Stella Starlight and Two-pints Paul.

So I wonder, have any of you had nicknames over the years that stuck or do you have any friends who go by nicknames?

There are still people to this day who only know me as Betty Hotpot, and wouldn't call me anything else!

I have Three wendy,s on my mobile. The one wendy I keep as her nickname "WindyMiller".

Raymond

Come on Hobbs! You must have known some characters with funny nicknames in your time.

You must have had a few yourself. I could think of about a dozen for you right now.

david hobbs

I was known as shit head

It wasn't a nickname

Raymond

Oh really?

And how long did you have to wait before Magi actually started calling you by your name?

david hobbs

A long while since I put ducting tape over her mouth.

Raymond

Oh yeah!

Talk it up big bollocks!

I'm guessing Magi is out this morning, that's why Hobbs' is being so sure of himself.

david hobbs

I can hear her coming so not another word.

In Only Fools and Horses, Trigger is always calling Rodney 'Dave'.

Raymond

Never watched it so I don't get it.

There's another nickname in my phone I forgot to mention. My avon lady is generally known as Soppy Sue.

david hobbs

david hobbs

Got to be the best comedy ever.

I met David Jason once in London.

Raymond

Well I'm terribly sorry but I'm afraid I don't watch Peasant TV.

wackyjacky

'Peasant TV'? Best tv we've ever had really!

david hobbs

To busy looking in the mirror

Raymond

Well that's something you could never be accused of Hobbs.

david hobbs

Now your just being silly

Why would I want to look in your mirror

It's cracked anyway.

Unsuprisingly.

Raymond

Shove it up your arse!

david hobbs

No thanks my arse already has a crack in it.

Raymond

Several.

david hobbs

I feel you weakening so i'll let you rest for a while.

No fun trouncing a wounded bird.

Raymond

Weakening? Whatever do you mean?

I can only respond to my audience and I'm afraid at the moment it really is piss-poor.

david hobbs

Yes like does atract like.

It is the law
