I was also called TC (Top Cat) for a while when at Changi - i have no idea where that came from.

One of my aforementioned dwarfs was known as Laughing Spam -as in fritter- usually abbreviated to Spam.

On that same posting our SENGO deservedly acquired the dual nicknames of The Laughing Backstabber / Smiler - The Smiling Knife.
FYI Top Cat was an American cartoon series wherein “Top Cat is the leader of a group of alley cats, always trying to cheat someone.” Google it for more info.
