He was though. Demented fucker stole our pet rabbits and skewered their necks with knitting needles. Men in white coats really did come and take him away and I never saw or heard of him again.

We had a lad who lived around our way called 'Whopper', he wasn't the most handsome or brightest lad a woman would want but he got some decent looking birds.

There used to be a fat lad with a big arse we called nappy boy

Day Release Dave - he was a bit mental

Leo BO - Stunk to high heaven

Loads of others I can't remember now.

It's like a better,cooler version of fraggle rock :-)

Ironman - because he was pale as 

Roman - As his nose was roamin' all over his face

I was called Les for a while as I had a tenancy in class that when listening to the teacher I had an expression like Les from Vic and Bob ie fecking gormless.

Lad called Wasim who people used to pick up, throw to allow them to 'wasim' across the classroom

Usual lot of 'Pissknicks' for the young lady who wet herself on the school coach.

 

One of my favorites was a lad a uni; he went twos up with this young lady (who it turned out became a campus sensation by appearing in as a reader's housewife in Razzle - this was Man Met, not Oxbridge) anyway, turns out he went down on her after his mate and was known from that day on as Mum-Rah.

Nigger, for Nigel

 

 

We still call him that

Lad known as Tefal Head due to his extremely prominent forehead.

Ginger lad at our primary used to get called wee disease

 

There also was a girl who used to wear glasses and she was quite unwell in the head, people used to call her spacky four eyes.

Fair play mate. It takes ages to get stuff out in the colonies  ;)

 

As an example, we just got the first episode of series 2 of Peaky Blinders last week. The one where the kipper tie brothers go to London 'on their holidays'.

 

I would bet my left one that the curved crescent they walk along to the archway before entering the night club is Le Mans Crescent at the back o't Town Hall.

 

Can anyone confirm or otherwise?

Pakistani lad in the class below us at primary school - we called "Lenny" after Lenny Henry.

Even the teachers called him Lenny.

Don't think we'd get away with that today.

Yes. Also featured in the next episode.

There was a rather masculine young lady at my secondary who was known as "Bloke". Love the simplicity in that one.........

Our deputy head at Tonge nicknamed one lad who had a growing disorder 'Woodbine'. Everybody loved him, very popular but died in his early 20's.

We had a blokey girl at school called Danielle, we all called her Manielle or Tranielle...it was even her nickname in the yearbook. Brutal.

We had a lad we called Pirate, because he had a sunken chest and we shouldn't laugh about it but there was an epileptic kid whose surname was Deacon. I don't think I need to say any more. :D

 

Kids are brutal.

Yes. Also featured in the next episode.

 

Ta.

There was an Asian girl at our school named Asheeta who we named 'paper'.
