Are you telling us some think you look like a Russian spy? Do all Russian spies look the same?
This is all too much for me

So many I lost count: Lurch, Match(stick), Monkey, Lanky, Stretch before it was eventually settled on Tomma or Big Tomma (to differentiate me from my older brother)

More people know me by the nickname I picked up at the age of 13 than by my real name. And most of them probably do not know what my real name is.

I only really dropped the Tomma nickname when I passed 40, I lost touch with most of the people I'd known as a youngster. Every now and again, particularly up north, it gets used. I'm not overly fussed about any of them but as I approach 50 I tend to call the people I meet by their real name Paul (not Porky), David (not Dibdob), the exception being Firmy cos I haven't got a clue what his first name is

Mine is Chopper, on account of my supposed likeness to Mark Brandon Read.
And yes, I do have tattoos.

Too many over the years, starting with 'World Cup' in my junior school years on account of having rather large ears in comparison to head size back then.

Thinking about it, a lot of my friends have nicknames. Ozzy, The Swede, Hoff, Dad (he's no one's actual Dad), Helga, Ferret, all sorts of names with interesting stories behind them.
