I remember at Eastern Radar shortly after the Phantom/Jag shoot down, a controller with an Irish sounding name (ex Nav) calls a Jag entering at MC6 with avoiding action and sets him off in a new direction. On the jag pilot making enquiries as the the whereabouts of the traffic, controller replies that there's an F4 following and he thought the Jag might want to get out of the way.

Same guy told a particularly unresponsive Alcobury F-4 to assume the callsign "Stupid One".

Those familiar with Eastern will remember the Alconbury/Wyton CAC being controlled by console 5B with the upper air console 3A being up a level, behind and slightly right of 5B. Our erstwhile controller is on 3A blythely driving traffic through the active Wyton fix. 5B controller stands, turns, shouts "Get out of my fu***ng fix P***y, co-ordination agreed", turns and sits back down again.
