Nicknames
JIM : had a few depending on your mood, "The Kid", "Part Time Suppersipie", "Mr Mambo", but most of the time he was just called "Stanes".
BRIAN : was called "Dave", this came about because Jim kept calling him by the wrong name at his audition. The name stuck, and Brian was tagged.
MARK A : was "Happy Appy" or "Appy".
MARK T : was "Mango", a shortened version of "The Mango Park Pig Fucker". Draw your own conclusions from that one. He also came with a nickname, "Cisco".
PETER : was called "The Shaft", and if you had ever shared a communal shower with him you would see why. Plus he liked to 'shaft' chicky babes.
GREG : was only ever known as "Crabs". I don't know who named him but I assume it was something to do with his 'crabby' nature. I have never met anyone before, or since, that could fit so many obscenities into a normal conversation.
GEOFF BARNES : was called "Clive", lord knows why. He was, and still is, an enigma.
RONNIE, LEE, MICK and GRANT : They never picked one up as far as I can recall.
AND AS FOR ME : They just called me "The Road", real fucking original boy's.
