I've had many nick-names over the years
Starting with Mr Stubbs (you have to be really old to remember him) by my aunt due to me walking like a monkey when I wore a nappy (very long time ago
)
Lurch for a while at school (well I was 6ft + at 13) I was actually taller than all my teachers by the time I was 11 (the pics of the sports day were hilarious I looked like an adult next to all the kids
)
I was called Reaper by one of my teachers (He was Canadian and uesd to mispronounce everyones name) but then his name was Dunderdale (but we called him Thunderguts)
I was called Camoflage for a short while (after the Ghost Marine in a song)
Big Man when I was an ethnic minority on an all Irish building firm (talk about a sureal experience)
And The Boy Scout was another one ( had a habit of telling the truth at the wrong time
)
Gentle Giant has been a recurring one through many years and normally gets dropped the first time I loose my temper (yes it does happen I once tilted my dads new Honda van up onto two wheels and threatened to push it over ) I was a bit stronger when I was young
My favorite up to this point was a bloke I worked with who used to say "You not quite right are you" not really a nick name but sort of sums me up
The most recent and insulting was to be told the girls of eligable age declaired they did'nt mind giving me a cuddle because I was "SAFE" Bl**dy cheek I wanted to be Sexy
So go for it I love nick-names but they never seem to stick apart from the "Accident looking for somewhere to Happen" that most people seem to think suits me
