Tam "The Licensee" McGraw??????:tongue:

Very snappy! Lots of shining wits in Glasgow, Greedo, then?

I know what a shite nickname. I'd have asked for another one if I had been him, seeing as he ran half of Glasgow's criminals before he died.

According to some, the nickname followed his entry into the pub business and because he could also obtain licences for taxis and ice cream vans with no problem.

Rivals say it was because he could commit offences without fear, in return for informing on others.

My favourite personally was another gunned down in a pub car park Joe "Bananas" Hanlon xx( known as Bananas for being a right slippery git!

When did John the Baptist ever hurt anybody!

While dutifully browsing the Wikipedia for a smart response, I noticed this...

"This article is about the 1st-century Jewish prophet. For the hip-hop producer who goes by this name, see John the Baptist (producer)"


I can't top that, so I won't try.

The name Bannanas was due to the fact that he used to go "bannanas " when fuelled by drink and drugs, his party piece was stabbing people in the eye.

On the subject of nicknames, my personal favourite, Frank "the iceman" McPhee, rumoured to have been shot by the IRA, his nickname was so good, after he was buried another guy took on the name Jamie "the iceman" Stevenson, he also was shot, so to anyone who has the nickname "the iceman" look out.
