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

had a firearms trainer who has blown off his little finger with an accident with a training grenade; he was then forever known as 'the clock' - one hand was bigger than the other

had a mate at Uni who's surname was Cox
he was known as Sucks for 3 years.

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'

Hehe inse, think you told me that on the thread years back!! Classic.

Know a guy with the surname De'ath. Funnily enough he is called shitty

Why only 3 years?
