Nicknames

Here's one. What's the best nickname you've heard and why?

I know a guy called "B'doynge" due to a rather unfortunate incident in the swimming pool. He's been stuck with that name for years!

One of my colleagues is called Bullet-he's been fired from every previous job.

Another is called Rabbi because of an unfortunate incident with the bath. When he was 10 years old he stepped into it and the bath panel moved slightly, catching a certain part of the anatomy-he circumsised himself!

Ha ha nice one Joxville. We've got a line manager at work we call Rat hunt due to rhyming slang!

I don't know the guy but a colleague has a mate nicknamed Heinz. His real name is Ted Farr and someone swapped his name around.

You were sick on a roller-coaster doing a loop-the-loop? Or a plane. Or a childhood doll looked like you? I give up.

I believe he got a job at Wick swimming pool as a diving board and little B'doynge got a job in inverness as a tent pole
