Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Mine was invented years ago at college.

My freind and I wanted to order a clothes catalogue as our V neck sleeveless 'Harlequin' tank tops needed replacing. I also needed a white tie. But that's digressing.

We lived in a residential block on site and couldn't decide whom the catalogue should be sent to, so we invented an imaginary person whose name was an amalgamation of both our surnames.

His is Hill and mine is Harper. So Mr Hillper ordered the clothes!

Since then, that's been BOTH our nicknames and when we meet, we both greet each other as Hillper!

First name Tim.

mine was a nick name given to me at a job i had.

About 4 or 5 years ago I worked in Currys as a Xmas job, just for a few weeks. Awful Awful company, anywho there were several Mark's there so it became confusing... and we did't like using our surnames on the shop floor.

One wise guy nick named me tunnie and it stuck, the way he said it was always amusing, made the T sound very loud! Grin

My surname is Tunnicliffe...... so thats were it cam from & the story of my user name Cheesy

So let me guess.....your full name is Mark Omega Expert Tunnicliffe Grin

Alas nothing more exciting than that.. but not too laid back to be moderating on here 24/7 eh......
