View Full Version : Rest Home for Tired Name Badges

28th Jan 2001, 01:03
The Sunnyview Rest Home for Tired Name Badges has been completed and has started receiving its first residents. Situated on the Yorkshire coast it is a place of tranquility for badges whose comic novelty has ebbed with advancing years.
Whilst young and fresh they are a source of joy for all. Unfortunately, as age wearies them they cut an ever more pathetic figure in bars throughout the forces. We have all been guilty of raising a weak titter in order to avoid offence to both the Badge and its owner.
Now at last there is a place they can retire to, without stigma, in order to await the inevitable.
Removing these elderly citizens to a place of rest should allow younger blood to flourish.
The roll call of the first intake of residents was indeed distinguished and included:
Hugh Jardon
Hertz van Rental
Isaac Hunt
Albert O'Balsam
Mike Hunt
Major Lee Gwancker(and variants thereof)

If you meet a Badge that would benefit from the company of kindred spirits, please direct them to Sunnyview via the nearest bin or ash tray, and record their passing on this thread.

Thank you.

In my squadron we had a real Jerk, so we all got nametags made up with his name..Prior to some serious partying we'd put his nametags on and whenever anyone got in trouble it was his name sent to the commander....great fun!!!

Many years ago at a stn somewhere in Norfolk, where you could join the 10-ton club, one of the blunties in handbrake house assumed a 'St John' (pronounced Sinjen) in front of his surname when he was promoted. Shortly after, at a cocktail party where nametags were worn he noticed that many of his fellow officers also seemed to have acquired a 'St John' prefix. He rushed over to complain to the Stn Cdr who turned to reveal a nametag which proclaimed 'Joe St John Giblert' (name scrambled to protect identity).

Your brother was probably refering to a very well spoken young Army officer who dipped his toe in a very shallow gene pool, and I mean shallow. He fell for most of the names already mentioned. The light finally came on (no more than 2 watts mind) when he was introduced to JJ Clitlikker III.

I know Willie Clamp well enough to know that he signs his name with an ie and also that he would never use such indelicate language as ' shagging a bull up the nostril'. The misquote was from, 'Women are OK, little boys are very nice but you can't beat the real thing; the left nostril of a bullock on a cold and frosty morning with his rough tongue licking at your balls. Willie does not claim an origional on this it was a common joke in the 60s with punch lines to suit the current activity such as - you can't beat the real thing; straining against the rudder pedals, asymetric in a Canberra. As he approaches his bus pass and even longer tea breaks next month Willie also tels me that he will take with him into his retirement many fond memories of all the entertaining people who have made the past 46 years such fun.

Oh, well, whilst we're on that, there was once FINCL (Pronounced "Finkel" and short for F***ing Idiot No C*** Likes)

On the pilots' course ahead of me there was a lonely individual called FONC (Friend Of No C***).
For a while there one of the other boys hung around with him, out of pity I imagine, and was subsequently known as FOF (Friend Of FONC). Pretty soon FOF realised why FONC was a FONC and became NAFOFA (Not A Friend Of FONC Anymore).

Also, a mate of mine during training whose real name was ROGER ORGAN, and his dad, DICK.

Luckily, I'm sure Rog won't mind me sharing this with you. He is a top bloke and his whole family has the sense of humour gene in abundance (even his gran had a double-entendre 'handle' but I can't remember it). Anyone know of Rog's whereabouts please email me!

From new Austin Powers movie. Female lead in film of Power's exploits:

Dixie Normous

Unfortunately, this was probably the best gag in the film. (Though the Shaguar car runs a close second). Probably best watched on det in Goose after a few ales.

I went to school with "Olive Green" (no kidding).

I trained with "Mark Gash" and "Nicholas Hawes" - both genuine names.

We had an F3 guy at Leeming called Andy "sorby" Hynd, and Gereman exchange guy - real name "Uwe", nickname "Vax".

But best of all:

My friend Debbie Firkin from BZN (funny enough in it's own right sorry Debs!) married an Artillery Major called Mark Boyes. We tried to persuade her that she should hyphenate - "Debbie Firkin-Boyes" was too good to miss out on!

Older readers may also remember "Arthur Sixpence" and his friend "Arthur Crown". Don't forget the VC10 steward called "Roland Butter".

There was a guy in school called David O'Rea, I wonder why his parents moved to Wales as poor old Dai got ribbed mercilessly.

(Two of the teachers were listed in the phone book as P & B Quick)

After the "Black Friday" reading out of the names of those who had been chopped from the ITC at Finningley, one of whom was named Bates, an instructor was heard to mutter "Just as well really, he'd never have made Master"

A mate of mine had to do a summary of evidence for a Courts Martial while on a holding posting. The guilty b@stard was accused of performing a lewd act in the NAAFI (He'd given his mate a blow job in front of everyone present while p!ssed).

The proceedings went very well up until the point the accused was marched in. His name; SAC Mycock!

A true story - honest!

I did once work with a very nice bloke called Hugh Watt.

Also, a golden oldie, mate phoned local pub asking for Mike Hunt. Barmaid got as far as shouting 'Anyone seen my...' before spotting him at the other end of the bar on his mobile, wetting himself. Close but no cigar.:D

I was playing golf with a friend a good few years ago, who has long drifted into the past. His name was Mike Hunt and his wife had just given birth to a son. Mike decided that he would call this little innocent Warwick!

Always wonder how the young Mr Hunt manages with the name - or if he changed it! Must have been hell making mistakes in view of one's friends!!! :eek:

On the Recourse Sqn at DIOT years ago we had a (genuine) end-of-course prize called the `Sir Richard Head Memorial Prize` given, ostensibly, for the 'most valuable contribution to the course`; in keeping with the cruelty of Service humour however this prize was actually awarded to the member of the course who had proved to be the most intellectually challenged ; to my knowledge, none of the winners of the 'Dick Head' trophy ever fully realized just what a 'valuable contribution' they had really made; if they did they certainly weren't saying!! :D
