Disco Dave,
An annoying foreman on a big site I once worked on ,
At 5-30 am when we finished , all knackered and tired from a 12 hour night shift he insisted everything had its place in the lock up ...
' Discos here and Discos there !

We have Ray the Racist down the pub. He's called Ray, and he's a bit of a racist plonker. Not the most imaginative moniker, bit there you go.

Used to work with a Manager named Rob who was over-bearing, patronising and just generally rude to all the staff, and consequently was known as TCR.

One day Rob overheard a junior referring to him as TCR, and immediately demanded to know what it stood for. With remarkable speed of thought the junior came up with 'Total Control Rob', and after the initial surprise Rob, predictably, rather liked that.

He would have been less delighted if he knew it actually stood for 'That C**t Rob'!!

There was a bloke down the pub that kept calling me Dave (not my name). Tired of this, I started calling him Trigger - which stuck but, as he had never seen "Only Fools & Horses", he did not get it.

My neighbor has called me Mike (also not my name) for some time now. So long in fact, that it would be impolite to correct him, this late in the game.

At an engineering works I know, the storeman's name was Mike. He got a new assistant, also called Mike but to avoid confusion he was called Not Mike. When Mike retired, Not Mike was promoted but kept the name. His new assistant was a woman who was christened Mike, thus keeping the tradition going.

Are you suggesting if I get a black cab it won't take me to where I want to go?

Well who wants to go south of the river anyway.

In the book The Choirboys, there are 2 married coppers. To tell them apart in conversation they are nicknamed Balls and No-Balls.

Going by some of the Police I worked with in the past, that still wouldn't give much of a clue as to who was who.

We had Winchester, who had a nasty habit of repeating the last few words you had spoken.
Also Schindler who always had a to do list of some sort.

There were three of us with the same first name in the office a few years ago and we became known as Phil Senior, Phil Junior (me) and Strange Phil.
I was at school with Spoon and have worked with Biscuit.

I also used to work with a bloke known as biscuit. He was a baldy and his name was Garry...

We used to have a school bus driver called Flannel because he was thin and wet.
