So anyway
I never had a nickname at school. Unless 'fucker' counts, I suppose.

If you had a nickname, what was it and why?

ahhhh I'm a tad ashamed of this.
I am very little in that I don't have a lot of substance to me. My muscles suit my needs but they're nothing special.

My friend Sam on the other hand, is built like the proverbial outhouse. We were in the gym together at school and he was laughing at me trying to do a pushup after he dared me to (cannot, failed miserably!!) and came over, squeezed my bicep, laughed, and said "No wonder you can't lift weights or anything, you've got no muscle - you're just all squishy!" When I pointed out that I rarely exercise and don't really care about being muscly, he just laughed harder.

So now everytime he sees me, he calls me Squish. I am Squish.
God shoot me now.

Didn't have any good ones at school.
Most nicknames derived from the first syllable of your surname followed with a 'y' or 'er' - Smithy, Browner, etc.

Prof
Remember Bob Holness fronted student general knowledge show Blockbusters? Well at the end of term in Chemistry, we used to play it. It was done as boys vs girls. Anyway, it became apparent that me and this other kid were answering a lot of the questions. So the teacher changed the odds and pitched the two of us against the rest of the class. And we won 3-0.

In preparation for a "lads holiday" in the Med...
...I panicked a week before leaving home and did 300 sit-ups in one night in an effort to get myself a beach body.

This only meant that for the following two days I was barely able to stand, let alone laugh or cough, without putting myself through excruciating abdominal pain.

This was a while back, during the time when Peter Andre was breaking into the UK singles charts with such fine hits as "Mysterious Girl", and his ridiculous orange abs were everywhere in the press.

One of my friends thought it would be funny to cut and paste a picture of my head onto his body, and stuck it up all round college.

As a result, to this day (12 years on), I'm still known to my schoolfriends as 'Pete'.
