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).

Some rather famous old "12th man" Aussie ones who used to play cricket for Pakistan:
Ibrok Mearmdad
Sleazie Winebarz (the early opener)
Edriv Fazcarz
And those American actors:
Rip Torn
Lorne Greene

I seem to recall a Richard Head in the RAF at Aldergrove in the mid nineties. I believe he is still serving. I wonder if his parents were friends with Mr&Mrs Kerr?
My Weapons Instructor as a spotty youth was a Rick O'Shea.
Goes to show that reality is as funny as fiction!

No mention yet of those famous members of the Scottish Air Force:
Mac Stout
Neil Dounelass (Jewish cousin Ben Dounyabich already credited)
Tam Packs
I also seem to remember that the aforementioned Fg Off Fugly was not alone. Was there not UMITAF (Ugliest Man In The Airforce) and FRISP (F****** Repulsive and Ignorant Scottish Pilot)? Heard the names but cannot claim to have seen the namebadges.

Or the rather tired winner of Stage 16 of the Tour de France: M Boogerd (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/othe...ng/2149377.stm).

I dont believe I waded through eight pages of this to put my favourite Dick Gazinya, to find it has been done by the last entry. Still, there was a Herc co, Jenny Hymans, who used to have a name badge with "buster" on it. I went to school with a Duncan McSporran, who is now an artilery Officer (makes sense somehow) and there was a girl we knew then called Alison Mycock who we all wanted to grow up to be a nurse. I really should get out more.

IN the American Actor category believe you need to move Lorne Greene to the Canadian Actors category. But why should that spoil the fun.

There were three young tech's posted to our unit in the mid eighties.....Messrs Boyes, Sex and Pussy. Predictable to a fault, the RSM always made sure they were on guard at the same time just to hear the Orderly Sergeant call out their names on roll call.
