Noncey-Titfuck?

Mine relates to sharing a student house in the Grounds of Bevendean Hospital at the top of Bear Road at the end of the 80's

The four swordsmen who lived up there were known as the Bevendean Hillbillies by our associates at the time.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

The forename "richard" gets modified to all sorts of things .... ricardo, ritchie, dick, shortarse (maybe that's just me), so I tend to use Tricky Dicky after that upstanding and honest ex-president of the US.

I'm neither a ninja, nor an elephant.

Did you bury one up there by any chance, like the one who's skeleton was dug up outside my gaff that I reported as human to the Police and got royally humiliated in the Argus for?

 

[smudge]

It's what most people call me, I'm a Smith.

 

[Trufflehound]

I used to be good at unearthing "truffles" of useful information from the tangled web of undergrowth that was the early Internet.

Then Google came along and that meant anyone could do it, rendering my username irrelevant.

But I can't be arsed to think of another one.

[Barrel of Fun]

An age old nickname of Baz morphed into Barry and then Barrel. I was a bit of an 'entertainer' at our Uni hockey club and someone started singing "Roll out the Barrel!" one day and it stuck.

Do I know you? Did you live there when the Hospital was closed except for the top floor Nurses accomodation?

I was in the cottage next to the Bear Road entrance...it used to be the Hosptal Social Clubs house before it was pulled down when they built that estate up there.

 

[Barry Izbak]

After initially calling for the departure of Lloyd under the monicker Mustgoe in Gulls Eye, I celebrated his departure by switching to Hazgon.
It was not a happy day for me when he returned, not least because I had to change again.
I am open to suggestion what to change to when we finally see the back of him.

 

[Brovion]

Mine comes from an unsuccessful 1950s attempt to create a nickname for the club. Long before 'Seagulls' or even 'Dolphins' the team didn't have nickname. Some sources say our nickname prior to the 1970s was the 'Shrimps' but others dispute that - although for years the reserves were apparently known as the 'Lambs'.

Mindful that the club didn't have a nickname sometime in the 1950s the Supporters' Club tried to invent one. The winner (God knows what the other ones were) was 'Brovion' as it was a portmanteau word of BRighton & HOVe AlbION and henceforth Albion fans were to be known as 'Brovions'. However it didn't take (can't think why) otherwise today we'd all be shouting "Brovions! Brovions!" instead of "Seagulls!"

As I was born in the 1950s at roundabout the time the name was invented I adopted it.
