One of 1327 different nicknames I've had over the years (most don't get past the swear filter).My mates 4year old daughter (at the time) picked it up and I've got used to it. The 1 is cos shenk was already taken on flikr :frown: Still don't know why I got called shenk though
I just wondered whether it would have been interesting if a Japanese suicide pilot had someone to chat to as he plunged to his death....
I couldn't even be bothered to add the year! It was a play on EastEnders, which is weird cause I never watch it!
wilko johnson - ex guitarist with 1970's band Dr Feelgood - his real name being John Wilkinson (clever eh?) under the previous carnation of this site my moniker was Brilleaux (Lee Brilleaux being the bestest ever frontman of any band anywhere of anytime - well ok sarfend) -vocalist/harp player of the aforementioned band
Quite correct .... I should be thoroughly ashamed of missen And with (local) knowledge like that you're either (a) from that area or (b) you're a fan of that group also and if it's (b) have you got a ticket for wilko's shows this/next month?
Poor Wilko, complete legend.... http://www.wilkojohnson.org/#!__important-announcement At one time London Tykes freakily had 8 or 9 Pauls in their ranks - me, Wadd (Ottershaw) Gally, Norris, Hicksy, Wadinho etc.... Mr C is the least offensive of the nicknames imposed on me. I like the Full Ponty, it's his best joke by miles. And I like Albert Fatknacker, but he hasn't been on for yonks.
So, how did you get it in the army? Were you a fan of the Argentine striker, or do you/did you have long black flowing locks?
I always related to Dodgy Back Tyke. It is simple, fun, self-deprecating, informative and inclusive.... I give it five stars. I started as mick in oz, mickin, micky noz etc. All naff, but at the start I thought it was amazing and different to live a planet away and still be a tarn-type. I'll make a change soon, I think.
Bit of a fan, but a bit musically anal retentive! Milk and Alcohol (post Wilko I know) was one of the first singles I bought, but it really took the Oil City Confidential film to resurrect my interest. What a film that is. Wilko has, however, always been one of those people that it's comforting to know is there. Imagine my surprise when he popped up chopping someone's tongue out in Game of Thrones, etc, etc. My moniker, by the way, for those not familiar with the work of Michael Palin and Terry Jones (specifically Golden Gordon from Ripping Yarns) is the name of a northern football supporter who gets depressed at how rubbish his team is. I don't know why I've always associated myself with this character. I've called my Fantasy League team Barnstoneworth United for years. Indeed, the great Half Man Half Biscuit feature a photo of said character on the front of their album that is named after the Barnstoneworth forward line. The only thing that has stopped me sporting a Barnstoneworth United shirt (available from the fab Toffs website) is that they play in red and white stripes.
