nic names

Just having a laugh wirh some mates and I remember a thread a few years ago about nic names and where they come from etc.

We had the west brothers that joined a ship and were immediatly named Rose and Fred.

My mate with the surname Ellis was known as Syph.

And the best was my mate Wayne Bruce, he was called manbat.

Fabulous

Heh heh..

Had a guy on a ship who had zapped himself with 440V due to lack of isolations. He had burn scars all over his back and neck.

His name was 'tag out'
