Type O Negative
A fair few people that are into Rock/Metal like me called me "Mini Pete".

A reference to the Singer/Bass Guitarist from Type O Negative, for those not in the know.

The "Mini" bit doesn't actually mean I am a short arse, as I am 6ft. As Pete Steele is some insanely tall height like 6ft 7in. Hence, "Mini Pete".

One of the best occurences was one night I was waiting for a train to Manchester, with a crew of close compandre's to go out on the sauce at Jilly's.

One random passer by shouted "Good god, it's Rick Wakeman!!" (keyboard player from Yes) at one of my mates, due to him basically looking like a younger, 20 something Goth'd up Rick Wakeman. I can't believe we didn't think of it before, but he thought it was pretty cool.

One of my best mates is down as "Van Driesen" in a mates mobile phone. Due to the fact he likes 1970s prog rock and looks like the hippy teacher out of Beavis and Butthead. This mate's mobile phone has fictional names for everybody for some odd reason. He deems it to be a security measure if he loses his mobile phone. Weird....
