Very good T1, I had a few chuckles as I scrolled through that list. I reckon I used to work with some of those blokes back in the day.

Hmmm, that list is a worry, don't show it to Rita. I know she would class me as a showbag, g-spot , bush ranger, P.I.T.A. and cordless.
Apart from those I think I'm pretty good

Another one for the list P.I.T.A.....Pain in the arse.

I used to know a bloke who's nickname was Cadabra. Took me a while to realise it was short for Abracadabra. Just mention it to him and 'it' would turn up at a drastically reduced price. Took us a while to figure out it could also have been 'crowbar' or 'hydraulic'.

One bloke we called FIG JAM which was short for:
F*ck I’m Good - Just Ask Me.

Another one I remembered

Snake - If it looked like a difficult job he would be no where to be seen, but his head popped up when the easy jobs where being handed out
