My last car was a Holden and then I got a Ford, so at work they call me Lowndesy...

Because I made the swap...

Pronounced "four-eight-six-eight"

When I did my apprentiship at a dealership I was Mudflap (because I hated fitting the dam things)

At my next job it varied but Silicon man was one i remember (because I did a moification on a container crain that ment the hyddrulic tank hadd to be spaced about 10mm from the chassis and so crap woulddnt fall in behind the tank I filled the gap with paintable silican I left that job 7 years ago now but still have dealings with the company and I am still known buy this name even buy people that I never worked with.

At the fire station I have 2 the old one is "The Yeti" because I'm a big hairy bugger andd know one has ever gotten a clear photo of me and the new one once I got the red hat is Mr Sparkle (I have know idea how that works but it seems to have stuck)

Grievious Bodily Harm, GBH or Bodily Harm. Although it has been shortened to Bodily a few times..

Came from my surname of Greaves and the way I stare into a computer screen makes me look like a psycho mass murderer apparently... ?

I used to be really overweight - so I got the following:-

Big Val
Big Valbio
Fabio
The Big V
The Big Venus
V Bomber
V Train
Pappa Valentino
Pikeman
Val Maninga

Even though I have now lost weight people still use these nick names.

At work, I'm 'The Colt' - for reasons I have no idea why. I am responsible for coming up with everyone else's nick names at work as well.

I dont have a nickname in this job, but the name lushis my nickname. Been called it for years, old B&S name, started out as Lucious Linda and got shorted to Luscious / lush / lushy (slushy lushy when drunk).

Wuite a few people dont actually know my real name.

I did have a freind working for me one year at the Easter Show, she had only ever known me as lush, had never called me by my real name and she just coouldnt get the hang of it. So someone would be at the office wanting to talk to me and she would yell out without thinking "luscious, can you come out here". She used to get the strangest looks from whoever was waiting to speak with me.

Sometimes even I forget I have a real name.

Most people call me Blisters, cos I show up when the work is done.
I also get Speed, cos I work sooo quickly (not).

I am a motivated person, I just don't like my job.

I was also labelled Dodge.
One day after plenty of beer, I was sitting there, and my mate reckons I looked a bit dodgy. I then proceeded to bring up dinner and plenty of beer! So Dodge stuck!
