NicknamesWe've all come across them, albeit some completely daft ones, so what are they?
The ones I've had are Legs Eleven (my dad, now deceased called me that) another pet name my family called me was Nellie 
My sister Sharon was called Tinker 
2 of my boys are Cameron - Cax, and Aedan - Aeds

I used to be called Peeler. Don't know why. Think it had something to do with we were playing cops and robbers and I got named after Robert Peel 
I have an uncle called Adrian and he gets called Aeds as well!

I was called "Doc" at school, because I was considered a genius and everybody wanted to sit near me in exams because they knew they could copy my paper for the right answers!
I can't help being the cleverest person everyone knows!

that, me dear, is a very good question! The truth is I'm not sure, although I do seem to recall it all started in geography class one sunny afternoon ...

was it to do with Aussie land? I can vaguely relate Skippy to the bush kangaroo.
Or were you skipping Geography classes

more likely just skipping some vital brain activity

I don't have a real nick name, except my Mother-In-Law refers to me on occasion as What's Her Name. . .
(I'm going with the idea that she is forgetful on this one!)

Boy takes three girls home to meet his mum. After an hour, he says privately, "Which one do you tink I'm going to marry?"
Mum says, "The middle one."
Amazed, the boy says, "How did you know?"
Mum replies, "I don't like her!"
I take it, you're the middle one kathyv???
