Please note well Graham’s recent comments re. personal attacks on fellow anglers. The possibility of litigation is ever present, so I suggest that FM readers create ‘nom de plumes’ we can refer to, so as to avoid trouble. We have a great tradition among angling writers in the past with such pen names as ‘BB’ and the ‘Trent Otter’
May I start the ball rolling with the following:
Matt Hayes – New name: Carpet Stains
(Matt is the diminutive of carpet, and he is not very big. In the Posh and Becks tradition of naming your children where they were conceived, Staines in Middlesex is the venue. His parents were on a top of a bus at the time, and by the time they lit up their post coital fags, it was going through Hayes)
Des Taylor - New name: ‘BBB’ or more appropriately ‘SSG’
(Bonkers Brummie B*st*rd, Barmy Beardie of Bewdley, Seventeen Stone Git – you can make up your own from now on)
Some of the other greats from the past betray their roots in their writing names
Fred Taylor – Obviously from the rag trade, with early exposure to bobbins etc.His actual name is a corruption of ‘Thread Tailor’
**** Walker - this one is a worry, as it appears not to have anything to with fishing, but is some sort of sexual exercise machine (although extensive research on the top shelf of my local newsagents has failed to produce any picture or diagram to show how this works)
I will sign off now as I have probably upset just about everybody – I’m sure you will let me know!
