Nicknames?

[slinger]

Do you, or did you, have a nickname? Maybe not just the one you use here, but one from 'real life' ...for those of you that have one.

Obviously 'slinger' is a nickname, given to me by a guy I used to work with due to the way I throw darts. My other nickname when I was with B.T. was 'Ringo' but I never wore an inordinate number of rings, or played drums...or had a big hooter. If you can work it out I'll award you a Gold Star.

Well just Dastardly really, it was my cricket club nickname.

I'm not sure if this constitutes a clue or not, but I used to identify with the Robert Cray (see "Your Last Listen") track 'Strong Persuader' for a long time. If nothing else it might get you to listen to some Robert Cray though.

Was he one of the Cray twins

Ronnie, Reggie, and Robert - The Cray triplets? I think Robert's skin colour might have upset dad Dave Kray.

My name is Gordon so I'm called Gus. Sometimes I'm call Vic.

The full name is Gordon Victor Steadman. Vic was because when I use to race, there were already three Gordon's at the club.

Gus is because, when I were a lad (middle earth) I used to write the 'V' like a 'U'.

Other than that, I can only remember being called 'idiot', 'prat' and 'dum dum'.

[zebbo]

Zebbo is from Zebadee(?) from the magic roundabout because I bounce up and down when I walk, apparently. :D
