Do you still call them that? :mrgreen:

My sis has nephews called Scott, Jamie and Andrew and when my daughter was wee she went to visit their granda with my sis. She saw a photo of the boys and asked - "is that Snott, Dribbly and Whamspew?" :oops:

And then there's always my OHs friend from school Michael Hunt, who's name was shortened to Mike!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
