[Sudds_1]

So...in an effort to bring some cheer to these gloomy times, whats the best nickname you have heard, or even what was/ is your nickname now.

I'll start the ball rolling...was called suds at school and its stuck with me ever since...55years!

Musselborough (thanks Andy74) was the nickname given to the late Justin Edinburgh which I though was brilliant.

My own personal best was for a lorry driver I used to work with who, with his strong Ayrshire accent, declared he “wisney dain if it’s mare than wan drop”. After he went on holiday to Mexico, naturally he became Juan Drop.

Sooty, as a 13 year old crown green bowler playing in a team of adults, I became such a good player over a couple of years that I used to win the sweep for the highest up score most weeks. The guys nicknamed me Sooty (& sweep) it stuck with my mates ever since then.

Nae bother, you must share a nickname.

[Smartie]

I was called Pants at school. It's quite funny when you bump into school mates and they still call you it, it suited my teenage self a lot more than it does a 42 year old man.

I've actually had millions of nicknames over the years.
