I like that one.Originally posted by TestMangler View PostSledge : Given to a guy who was 'normally pulled by dogs'.
I used to know a barmaid known as Shed, derived from "Empty shed", Made of wood and nothing in it. She wasn't very bright...
Then the inevitable Chalky for a coloured lad, Slim for a tubby lad and Curly for someone as bald as a coot.

The moral of this story is, it's better to quit whilst you're a head.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostHarsh, but fair.
I am probbly the only CUK'er who knows the truth...
When he was born, the doctors told his da to prepare for a shock. So they went to the ward to with the badly disabled kids, and his dad had a tear and said 'which one is he ? I'll still love him to bits'
'Er, actually its worse, follow me' so they went to the next ward
there was just a head on a pillow with loads of tubes going up the nose
'Oh MF is that you son?'
'Er, actually its worse, follow me' so they went to a little room off the back
and in an incubator was a bell-end, with a little tube going in
'WTF, is that my son ??? nothing but a knob-end?'
'Yes, I am sorry. But I have some very very bad news'
'BAD NEWS??? whaaa'
'Yes....'
'...He's a total twat'

Never really had a nickname, but am usually the great giver of workplace nicknames.
My favoutite ones were:
Wheelbarrow : Given to a guy who sat there doing f**k all until you pushed him.
Sledge : Given to a guy who was 'normally pulled by dogs'.
Prince : Given to a guy who was so tight, he wouldn't spend a penny over the client co's nightly £20 subsistance rate. So, he partied when it was £19.99
