Nick names?

[8x57]

What happened to the thread on nick names, I was enjoying that. Did someone go a bit too far or is my eye sight on the blink again.
In the service where I served almost nobody was known by their correct name it was all nick names. Some of them quite funny but most tended to be slightly offensive or at the very least intended to cause embarrassment.

When they open again I think it's a trip to specsavers then.
That is if I can find them as I looked three times and failed to find the thread.

I was born and raised in an old sea faring town called Whitstable. Now a very popular place at weekends and holiday homes, but not when I was a kid. All the old families that lived in the town knew each other and when ever a child was born they were given a nickname.
If you get a chance to visit the town go into the small museum in the high street. It used to be the Foresters hall I believe. There is an old deep sea diving suit in there that belonged to a relation of mine. He held the deepest longest dive at the time. He worked for a salvage company called Denes. A huge man over 6ft tall, and I was named after his nickname.

I also remember Peter Cushion the famous actor of hammer films and star wars. He used to ride a push bike up the high street, and often came into the hardware store where I worked for about a year after I left school.

Its changed a great deal now, the old houses on the sea front wouldnt get a second look when I was a kid. Now your looking at 1. to 1.5 million for some of them

Peter Cushing I think, but your name would have made him into a household word.

You can research it and see if you get it right My fathers nickname was Toby, or as my gran called him Tobe. But thats not my nickname.

My lurcher has acquired two nicknames

First one he got some time ago - tick taxi (so we say TT)- borrowed from an old Rhodesian expression

The other more recently - Zappa - partly because of his prowess with the rabbits but also as a result of his discovery of the electric fence.

I worked in a commercial garage and there was a guy nicknamed Thrush , I never heard anybody call him that but that was who he was referred to .

Chap in my old village was known as “Des the Moaner”, or “Desdemona”.

His wife was occasionally called “The Moor” by the wags in the pub.

Took me a while, but I got there in the end.


Your nickname is "Weasel".


So named because you are small, and kill things.


From where do I collect my prize?

Henceforth you will be known as 'Specs'.
