Nick names where do they come from....
I was thinking the other day and i was wondering where people's nick names come from for example why is paul rotherum called frooteh and why is lee martin called pidge and why is richard taylor called tricky????

There's a guy that I used to work with called 10 guage (as in Standard wire guage) he has no idea that its because he's thicka dn hard to work with just like the wire!!!
Another guy that I used to work with was call Stu for years, even though his name was Dave, he never worked out that it was short for Stupid!! Then there's dink, cause thats the sound he would make when he was hit with a shovel!!! I've worked with some classics in the past!!!

To tell you the truth garath i havent got much better to do. My daily ruitine consists of waking up at what ever time is conveniant or am woken up by falling out of bed usually about 12.30. I then go and switch my pc on and talk shit on forums such as oople for a few hours until 2.30 when i shower and go and collect my papers i then return home talk some more shit on oople until abouts 5 when i go domy papers. At 6 oclock you all get a rest from me as i watch the simpsons then for the rest of the night i sit on oople and talk even more shit and try and make convistion with people on msn. But sometimes i do do usefull things around house such as hang my mums washing out and attemp to cut the lawn breaking the lawn mower in the process. I also rebuild my cars lots. Ive rebuilt my xx4 4 times since ive fninshed school. Also most days i try to be up at 11.55 to watch my favriot day time tv program cagney and lacey. legendary. I also watch columbo to.
Tommorow im setting out to find myself a job. Wilko!!!! I may apply for M n S food. These arent just normal employes these are marks and spensers high quality employes. A Whats your nick name garath???

Lee explained the story:
Him and Si Moss were taking the mickey out of each other, he called Mossy a rat-boy, Mossy called Lee a Pidgeon (as in 'flying rat'), and the name kinda stuck. However Lee thought that story was boring, so his inital explanation was that Pidge came from an African Jesus family.

Ha ha... well, some of the mid west did all have animal names for a bit yeah.. nobody elses really stuck but Pidge just seemed to, he did a season of mid west regionals so we will just on this occasion tar him with the same brush as us lot. You are all correct though... Pidge derived from an argument between Moss and Lee over which animal carried more disease, rats or pidgeons. Each gave themselves the name and then Pidge just stuck with Lee... seems appropriate, he's really flying this season! No comment about whether Rat is appropriate for Mossy...
.My surname works as a nick name, you don't even have to take the trouble to put a Y on the end like you do with Doddy or Craggy... some folk call me Yardstic though, this was just something I was called one day, I think the dictionary definition of a Yard stick is a measurement of a goal you want to achieve, like a target or example of where you wanna be...   happy days. Later, Yardy/Yardstic/Yardo/that TTech guy
