Nic names

Worked with a guy called Dick. His real name was Paul Ennis…. P.Ennis.

Me, Big Wiily. Sadly, it’s nothing to boast about. I’m excessively cuddly and a derivative of my surname.
 
When I was at school I have a mate called Russel King, He had an older brother, built like a brick out house (Mod Edit) so no one ever mentioned it to him but his name was Wayne King (Really it was :))

I was 'Janner'. What about you?
Hang on just realised you meant nicknames

I’m a wilson, so you won’t have to guess to hard as to what mine was (is)

Been thinking of adding many of the RN nicknames I heard and even created whilst in the mob

Honestly. I’d get an infraction just for saying a few out loud.

Few highlights though (of the clean variety)

My mate Karl ‘Syph’ Ellis
Alan ‘arma’ Dellow
Tim ‘rubarb’ rumble
James ‘funky’ giboni
Russ ‘sticky’ stamp

As you know though. There are some long standing RN nicknames as peoples 2nd name.

Some belters in there

I was only talking about this place this afternoon whilst playing golf. The stickiest carpet ever, and the plastic tree ?. We also used to frequent a place called Beasties in Southsea, not sure of its real name but not many of the lady clientele weighed less than 15 stone. ?

The tree that doubled as a urinal ??

Great night out south sea. Hong Kong Charlie’s was a haunt of mine.

Was a loooooong drunken bimble back to the dockyard though If you had no cash for a taxi back.
