Am I completely mad?

[Drewster]

In the "Good Old Days" anyone who worked in or near "Ops" had nicknames.....
G Palmer - "Doc" (GP geddit)
S Palmer - "Dad" (cos he wasn't Doc)
Mr Wright - "Lefty"
Anyone McAnything - "Mac".... "Big Mac", "Little Mac", "Plastic Mac"
D Vickery - "Bish"/"The Bishop"
......
<To protect the innocent>
X. Xxxxxxx - "*rse Wipe"
Y.Yyyyyyyy - "Brown Nose"
Miss Z.Zzzzzz - "YS" (for Y-Shaped Coffin)
......

Errrr I was "Drewster"

We had a guy who was into rally car driving and had a very rich dad.

His nickname was Lombard which he loved as he thought it was to do with his rally driving prowess. It used to make us howl when he introduce himself to people and request that they called him Lombard.

Loads Of Money But A Right Dick.

Oh, this is totally normal surely.

I am relieved I'm not the only one who works with a paedo. Yes CM, I know the glasses you mean, yeuch.

I tend to name people after who they look like/remind me of:

Spongebob - Stupid fat, lazy, workshy, cake grabbing loser. A sponger.
Kryten - Red dwarf
Mrs Doubtfire
SuBo - our programme director, who managed to eat an incredible 7 doughnuts yesterday, a record.
Pob - Just one sticky out ear though

Mr Holly's arrived now.



As in;
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side

I was astounded, and in turn - full of admiration. The guy powers through food, and eats in almost every meeting.

He's a bit of a luvvie, and very dramatic, so when he has one of his rants (which usually involve much banging of the table and leaping up), meeting attendee's inevitably end up sprayed in cake, or pie.

Sounds like something Voodooflux would love

I'm so glad you said a fella though - a girl eating 7 doughnuts (in one sitting) would be

We have a "stinky" in our office too. Everyone knows him as stinky and he does stink.

He's the IT boy.

We also have a paedo... he wears those really creepy glasses - you know, that go darker when the sunshines or it's bright but they aren't actually sunglasses <shudder>

I wear the glasses that are photochromatic and turn dark in sun. I never thought it was "paedo". How else are we men who wear glasses supposed to look cool ?
