how_supra Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I thought your nickname was Spoon? Yes it was at Uni. But I ommited it because people assume it to have rude connotations. Before anyone says anything - its actually after Button Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 how comes? what ya got to do with button moon? (lol button moon was great) long story. Short version is that I ended up purchasing one of those talking teddie bears from Tesco, and it sang the button moon song. Button moon was brilliant "we're off to button moon, follow mr spoon, button moon..........." I also got called Gromit at uni, because I used to grin like Gromit and I like cheese a lot.

I'm stimpy at work, my boss calls me stimpy on a custmoer site, it spreads and I'll now never get rid of the name even if I move companies. We now have customers phoning up and asking to speak to stimpy who have no idea of my real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
