    I hated my name at junior school. I'm an Armstrong and a certain group of tossers called me "General nit and his barmy army" or "barmy" for short. At Wath Grammar, I was briefly "Legs weak" which was shortened to just "legs". This stuck with me throughout my time at WGS and even my mate's mum called me legs...
