Taking The Nick

I love nicknames and am indebted to my far eastern correspondant for this list of funnies.

Two Soups - his real name is Campbell Baxter.

Norrie Two Bunnets - the Glasgow taxi-driver who wears a wig under his cloth cap.

The Colostomy - the girlfriend of a married man (ie. the wee bag on the side).

The Boomerang Kid - whenever anyone at work asks a question, he always replies: "I'll get back to you on that."

The Man from Del Monte - purportedly a ladies' man, but everyone suspects it's the fruits that make him say: "Yes!"

The Parachute - lets everyone down at the last minute.

Cashline - an experienced young lass who's open 24 hours a day.

Vaseline - his real name is Willie Burns.

Rembrandt - loves saying to colleagues: "Let me put you in the picture..."

Bernard Caliper - a keen golfer with a leg iron.

Bo Derek - a chap called Derek with terrible body odour.

Brewer's Droop - his real name is Willie Falls.

Elmer - according to his mates, this guy is a real Fudd.

Harvey Smith - a skinflint who regularly enjoys a clear round at the bar.

The Genie - magically appears whenever anyone opens a bottle.

The Marksman - when it's his turn to buy a round, he always shoots the craw

Dulux - his pals reckon he's only got one coat.

Polyfilla - his real name is Phil McCracken.

The Mounty - whenever there's a carry-out on the go, he always gets his can

Soapy - washes his hands of any problems that crop up.

Captain Hook - continually late for work, it's believed he must be scared of the alarm clock.

Wolfy - fond of a right good bevvy, he's always howling.

The Yeti - always on the sick, there have been many unconfirmed sightings of this guy, but nobody can prove he actually exists.

The Gas Man - he's serviced loads of old boilers.

Charlton Heston - an incredibly slow fitter who turns every job into an epic.

The Hostage - when anyone asks for help he always replies: "Sorry, my hands are tied.

The Chernobyl Jannie - during the mid-Eighties this guy had a really bad complexion.

The Woodpecker - he's always tapping.

Mussolini - a woman in an office in Glasgow who has rather loose morals (aka the great dicktaker)

Apparently there is also a guy who works in my local bank who gets called "Tiger Feet", apparently when he talks to customers he keeps saying "that's right, that's right"


Do you have any good nicknames you could share with us?

The best one I've heard recently was a guy known to his friends as "Gravy" - because he goes with anything.

I heard one on "Off the Ball" about a guy nicked "Thrombosis" - because he was a slow moving clot!
